The Past

I'd like to ask, was anyone at the 2000 fire? Or, do you have any pics?

I'm very confused as to why this appeared on the Disabled guide?, Does anyone else know what it is?

Does anyone know yet whether there will be 'The Swarm' Annual pass preview event for 2012?I would hope if they do, they would not let in Annual Pass 'Friends', It was not fair last year, but I would hope they do, do the event again because it is great to get a first look at the ride!Another thing; why do American parks usually have big opening ceremonies sometimes including large shows, fireworks or a speech by the creative designers for their latest attraction, big or small whereas in the UK, They just open the gates on the 14th march and straight on the ride? It’s a shame because both Saw and now possibly Swarm will miss out on a big opportunity to open with a bang!

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!

Awwwwww I love this ride I don't know why but I do.Just so you know I was talking to James on msn and I was like the Rocky Express doesn't have a topic so he said make one.

Showing my age now but I used to love Space Station Zero. I know it was a tame ride, but it was the very first roller coaster I went on as a child so it is special for that reason alone. Does anyone have memories of it before it was turned into the Flying Fish?PJ

What are your favourite memories of Thorpe Park? We all have those favourite moments....... let's disscuss them here.Well mine would be of a few years ago, Tidal Wave was being built and it was back when Thorpe used to have fireworks.It used to be on a Sunday, my family and I would go to the pub where my auntie lived and have a meal there. We would get to Thorpe by 3/ 4pm and the entrance price was like ?10.I remember riding Rumba Rapids in the dark- full of mist and you couldn't see where all the water jets were.The next would be eating Burger King and watching the fireworks.On the way out of the park, we always finished the day off with Depth Charge, and then we used to…

As members will soon be trying out Thorpe Parks all new Fright Night event please move all discussing regarding the event here! Dont forget some people wont want the surprises spoilt so please make use of the Spoiler tags!

Ive noticed abit of a debate starting around the forums about the £5 entry charge for Standard Annual Pass holders to Fright Nights with it being compared to Scarefest at Towers which have no such fee but charge for 2 out of the 3 mazes and was curious to get a general opinion on what you prefer. Personally Id much rather pay the £5 event fee which allows me to go on all the mazes without paying any extra whilst on park (Of course if your a premium pass holder I this this is free anyway so premium holders get the better side of the deal at Thorpe) I'd say the majority of the guests visiting at Fright Nights / Scarefest have an intention on doing the Halloween attractio…

I don't really remember the ride but I thought it might be worthy of disscussion.

Thorpe Park has expanded terrifically over the recent years to become the great park it has now become. However along the way, the park has sadly closed and removed a number of rides attractions. Out of all the many lost rides at the park, which one do you miss the most?

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…

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. :'(

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…

IF you could interview B&M, what questions would you love to know the answers too and ask them?

We're just over 3 months to Fright Nights 2024 and we don't have a thread? We're slipping guys... Nothing is confirmed for the event, so for now, everything is speculation / what you want to see... My Predictions The return of the 3 mazes Trailers, Survival Games and Stitches Return of Lucifer's Lair and Amity High (in some incarnation) Something new in Death's Doors' location Mysterious new attraction The glaring omission here is The Crows. I would love to see them return in some way, and I think the scare zone works well. But the simple issue is for now: Hyperia. The area is being used for Hyperia's extra qu…

Who remembers the black spot? A long time ago, a bit sketchy in my mind.I seem to remember the train to the farm being diverted occasionally, some went straight to the farm, others got theatrically 'hijacked' by pirates where a kind of show was put on by actors when the train stopped. A few terrified kiddies were pulled from the train to be used in the show and at some point a black spot was put in the palm of the hand of one of them. They would then be told they would die a slow and painful death because of their black spot(!), but be given a voucher for a free ice cream to make up for it. Such a good idea and I remember loving it as a child. Why was it gotten rid of? Wo…

The thread for any photos, views and such about Fright Nights 2020! If any photos or videos come about from inside the mazes through tonight's preview night, feel free to post them, but still use Spoiler tags just in case.

RELOAD is a club and ride event that was held at the park in 2011, and now it's back for 2012 with many dates added: 30th March, 27th April, 25th May, 29th June, 27th July, 31st August and 28th September!

Thorpe Park Radio was the park’s own on-site radio station that played chart music and ride & show adverts to guests in the ride queues.Unfortunately this Thorpe Park classic was taken off the air at the end of the 1996 season.Does anybody else remember Thorpe Park Radio?

Hello, as my first post I bring you this :blush:As I'm a teenager that knows alot more about rollercoasters than most of the people I know (I'm not bragging, I swear) I thought about owning abit of thorpe park, so I came accross this sign on ebay, seller told me he had done some work there and they let him take it :)Now everyday I look at it, I can imagine my dream job. .. . Rollercoaster operator lol I joke although I would love to do it.Here it is, its abit beaten up but hey, do you know what year the logos from?Thanks Guys
