I did it today. It's fun. I mean it's a bloody bouncy castle course, of course it's going to be fun. But it looks awful, the soundtrack is cringey (think cringey pop songs mashed together poorly and an annoying American-style voiceover), it isn't what Thorpe need right now (or ever tbh), feels out of place... I guess it's a guilty pleasure type attraction. You'll come out smiling, but everything about it is so bad.

I have to say, today was the best I think I have ever seen Thorpe - in both appearance and operations. It is clear that they have really pulled their socks up! Mist effect was working on Nemesis Inferno - a lot! Fire on Swarm (skimmers still missing though) Smoke effect on Stealth's launch Squirting water on Saw's body (plus the lights and hammers) Operations were spot on.. Even Colossus was quicker than usual. Swarm was often leaving the station before the previous train had returned - resulting in a walk-on from around 1pm There was a really great buzz on park today too. It was clear that they had prepped for it to be far busier than it was.. but that didn't stop there being a great vibe around the place.

Fansites get free trip to Thorpe with nibbles and are positive about new addition they've been invited to review... [/Shocked.gif]

Really great fun - the thing is insanely tiring - don’t look bad from outside but it’s a pretty challenging course. Think it will go down well - I get what people say it’s big, loud but it is only temporary and it’s well worth a go!

Regardless of the delays, the progress they are doing to rebuild this area and Batavia is honestly astonishing. Especially when there are parks that leave abandoned rides rotting there for years!

Did all the other parks close down?

Thorpe Park has just turned 40! Thought I'd share this picture on here too
