The Future

Feel like there is risk on the horizon for the future expansion or continued development of large scale attractions on the horizon for Thorpe park. Also think Merlin have missed a big opportunity, but may be missing something, so feel free to correct me. Seems the old Cemex offices have been sold and purchased by a property developer that is converting them to a care home facility and assisted living complex. Hardly ideal having such a complex located next to a theme park for noise etc. really feel that this will form rejections incoming for future planning applications, especially on the Northen side of the park, island behind stealth etc. However…

all CH sorts CH of CH changes CH are CH coming CH in CH time it CH will CH be CH majorly CH superbly CH exciting

So this article came up about Thorpe objecting to a nearby retirement development because the new residents would complain about the noise. I guess they are objecting to this to cover themselves legally in the future if this development went ahead? It could well interfere with Thorpes future development plans.

(cannot place this in General Discussion) On the Thorpe Park site now, TP Annual Passes £55.60, that's gotta be good value if you don't envisage going to any other Merlin attraction, or even doing two others at full price....? http://thorpepark.com/prices/annual-passes.aspx?tabnum=2

Hi, I have been going to theme park in England now for a while and I love rides and anything to do with them. The problem is I am 6'6 and just about fit into most rides at Thorpe, Blackpool and Alton due to leg room on the rides.. Rides such as Colossus at Thorpe hurts even more than it normally does as I am very tightly fit. Rides at Blackpool and Alton seem to have much more room and leg room for taller people and the more over weight people; whereas Thorpe seem to have very little leg room for taller people. I hope in the future rides that English parks put in have more leg room and cater for taller people.. Thanks

The other day I had one of those google searching days, and ended up looking at ariel views of Thorpe on googlemap, and then ended up researching the Cemex site, and actually its history is very fascinating, It was originally owned by RMC (former owners of Thorpe park). It seems the site has been up for sale since 2011, with housing proposed for the site, which Thorpe have questioned as its so close to the park! And since then It seems things have gone quite. Cemex basically want to relocate as the offices are now to big for them! see this article on the issues http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/local-news/thorpe-park-questions-wisdom-ne…

so we all know that Thorpe park has some of the best rides in the country and I do love going there. However I'm always wondering what there next big thing will be and what would thrill seekers of the uk would like to see here next.

Are there any plans?

Hi all It's come to our attention that members from the forum are going into off limits areas of the park to photo updates of the new maze construction. Whist we understand your all excited about what the park have in store for us it's important members DO NOT enter areas off limits to the park or take cameras onto rides to get images. Doing so is against both park and H&S rules and any members found doing so may not be permitted to attend special exclusive TPM events. On that note we have some exciting news to release soon Thanks for your understanding and if you have any questions please contact me. Marc
