The Past

With Fright Nights well underway the 31st is fast approaching - the park have started some very early marketing for 2019. A sign has gone up over the exit and a page has been setup at https://www.thorpepark.com/2019 to sign up to be the first to hear more information on 2019. So what would you like to (realistically) see for 2019? I’m not expecting any new attractions for next season and that’s probably a good thing - the park can really focus on what it has and going from there. For me id like to see: Clarity on Loggers Leap future - if it’s returning or not I think this really needs to be decided /…

With the Annual Pass preview event today, we can expect reviews of mazes old and new to come rushing in. Please post them here and not elsewhere!

Hi, I'm Danielle, and as you can see from my username, I love X:/ No Way Out (even though I've never rode it and live in the USA.) I specifically like it pre-2007, though, before they changed the storyline and sound effects. The computer virus theme appeals to me, because it reminds me of the Toonami miniseries "Trapped in Hyperspace" (am I the only USA person here who knows what that is?) I want to make a ride like X:/ and Outer Limits: Flight of Fear over at Kings Island and Kings Dominion in the USA had a baby, themed after that miniseries. So I want to ask, what was the experience like pre-2007? I know there was a huge queue with interactive rooms that sta…

Though not related directly to The Walking Dead, Zombie Hunt forms part of The Year of The Walking Dead activities. Th experience runs July 21st - September 3rd. Details are still vague at the moment, but with Thorpe releasing a new map, and them starting marketing, we are getting a bit more detail to piece together. The vague idea seems to be an outdoor laser quest type thing, where you get to shoot zombies. It'll be based somewhere around Platform 15, and be suitable for families. It appears in particular there will be 'characters' within the experience as well, which could make it a lot more exciting and interesting: …

LOVE ISLAND COMING TO THORPE PARK?! 'An Island Like No Other' So as I saw there was no forum topic on this so I thought I would create this!. So as you may know that there is a show called Love Island which first aired in 2015 and grew very popular since with the young adults and many other audiences. Love Island is pretty self explanatory it is a dating show on an island in which people couple up with each other and face challenges as a couple in order for the final couple to win 50k between them!. So this rumour of Love Island has been going around the Resort for a couple years now and I think this year may be the year in whic…

Hi, been searching everywhere for the original Black Hole soundtrack, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Wandering if anyone could kindly post the link? I have seen a few you tube videos, so quite unsure if maybe they made more than one, because if you watch some POV videos one track is different to another, so this is getting me confused? Some have said the original was called ''pendulum'' and others have said it was called Powershaft by a composer named Barry Taylor who apparently wrote the Detonator soundtrack, which doesn't make any sense to me!!! Just wandering because the pendulum soundtrack sounds very similar to a P…

Surprised we don't have a thread for this yet... To kick this thread off (since opening times are being talked about elsewhere), it has been revealed that, as expected, the Annual Pass Day this year will be on Sunday 18th March. Yay. Use this thread for any discussion of the 2018 season generally (shock horror!)...

What would you like to see for fright nights 2018? Discuss Fright Nights for 2018 here

Something new is coming to Thorpe Park in 2018. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10159652058415624&id=283706330623 Some form of 'world first' (of course, it's Merlin ), though no other indication as to what or where though. No idea what this could be, but suggestions welcome (anyone who suggests a top spin in any way will be banned forever though )

What with previews starting last night and press night tonight this is the perfect opportunity to create a topic containing spoilers. Saw some reports last night and its sounding promising - also from this picture from Cupcakes and Coasters looks like Platform 15 has seen some pretty significant changes!

Does anyone know where and what happened to the Octopus Garden rides post leaving Thorpe Park! Many thanks Theme Park Fanatic!

What do you think the future holds for Canida Creek. Will Canida creek railway ever return or will Loggers leap reopen. Also has the juvenile Zamperla ride Lumber Jump be returned to use ( I herd it closed correct me if I'm wrong? Alternatively do you think Canada Creek will remain Old Town as we know it today? post any known rumours or leaked news here! many thanks ThemePark Fanatic.

Happy New Year all! To kick off with all Thorpe Park news which dont belong in its own topic - Thorpe Park have annoucned they have appointed a new Divisional Director at the resort: http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/09-01-2017/Resort+Appoint+New+Divisional+Director

Well.... it looks like Canada creek might look a little different in 2017! http://themeparkguide.biz/…/news…/canada-creek-redevelopment

So long long time since I have been around but decided to pop myself back into the game.. Some of you may remember me from the Guidesforum days which got renamed SouthParks... wow must be 8 years ago since then.. but anyway my reason for being back is recently back in the Merlin company was working with back in the Tussuads days at Thorpe Park 2007.. On topic now I've been hearing a lot of chit chat regarding Loggars Leap scrapped for good reasons stateing Maintenance costs too high and general health and safety concerns for unstable grounds.. The railway I believe will be dug up and completely dismantled its obsolete now to be honest and the Rocky Express to…

Fright Nights may have just ended, but we can still start discussing what could 2017 hold for the event! I do seriously hope all of the Lionsgate mazes go; they are all getting rather stale now.

Do you guys think we'll see another (obviously minor) new ride next year, improvements around the park, a small attraction, Colossus repaint or will the back seats on Inferno be turned around zomgfgfgfg!!!?!?!1!? I think there'll be some minor repaints, renaming of a few food outlets and the pointless waterslides on Amity Beach being removed.

I went yesterday, and the big top and containment were still construction sites. All the other mazes were great tho

Hey guys, I know it's only May, but I think it's time to bring up the subject of Fright Nights! As you probably know, the Thorpe website very recently changed the year in their description from 2014 to 2015..... so it now reads So, what do you guys think this means? Are we just to expect what we had for the previous two years? Will Thorpe introduce new mazes? Will they keep 'Studio 13'? What improvements would you like to see? And do you think they will utilize their new 'I'm a celeb' maze? Discuss!!

speculation has already started for the ride after WC. Personally I absolutely love the idea of a ride like this coming to the new island at thorpe, but at the same time I couldn't see it happening...

Live feed is running A few pics from inside the attraction from it...

So it's official, this season we'll see a 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here' themed attraction: http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/12-02-2015/I'm-a-Celebrity-Attraction-for-2015 Warning: The article containers some construction pictures and possible small spoilers. A quick run down: -Opens March 27th -Located in the Hideaway -Quite a few special effects -Family friendly -Retheming of the Calypso BBQ to the 'Bush BBQ' --- I must admit, I'm a Celebrity was a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine until a couple of years ago (when I just couldn't be bothered to watch it). I remain a bit sceptical about all of this, but I think it could tur…

We can now confirm that the park is set to open for February Half term between the 14th and 22nd February. A selection of rides will be available along with Brainiac Live returning too! http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/01-12-2014/February-Half-Term-Event-Returns

Now that the ride has had its last pubic ride! I feal this is the right time no matter how sad it is to see a part of thorpes history. :'(
