  1. Rumba wont be running as a seasonal attraction and is due to open with the park at the start of the season. A quick round up of all which was announced yesterday: https://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/23-01-2018/2018+Season+Update
  2. Thorpe don’t generally announce ride line ups, they announced loggers would be closed soon after its last day. I don’t see why anything will close other than X with it’s re-theme.
  3. On the subject of Stealths audio does anyone know the reasons behind the launch announcement / sound effect only playing out one side of the stations speakers? Back when it first opened definitely used to play both sides!
  4. An additional attraction open during the parks busiest time of the season is a bad thing?
  5. They’ve confirmed on twitter Saw Alive will open over the 6 weeks of summer - good news!
  6. That said they’ve not totally dismissed it..
  7. Think there’s a speaker behind the shop isn’t there which used to cover the area near the photo unit?
  8. Im not defending it but was this not the case last year too with these rides / areas?

    Can’t fault the marketing for this, good to see a small bit of on ride footage too! Looking forward to trying this out when it opens!
  10. https://www.parkerlebnis.de/colossos-heide-park-2018-2019-holzachterbahn_54932.html Looks like Colossos will reopen in 2019!

    I’m sure every mention of opening I’ve seen has said will be when park reopens on 17th March.
  12. Shipping starts today!

    Tree houses have always been very expensive - I guess the market must be there at that price!
  14. Whilst that’s obviously plasuable, they still could have announced it, I’m sure it would have been known for a few months - also was it not closed at the end of the season - so they possible knew then.
  15. I think a lot of people deep down probably understand reasons behind it’s removal - the way they’ve done it though is quite baffling, they pride their self on the historic nature of a lot of their rides, to just remove it on the sly is somewhat strange to me.
  16. Was there not rumours of this happening a few years ago too? Pretty stunned they removed it without at least some kind of announcement :s
  17. https://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/04-01-2018/Plans+To+Extend+Pizza+Pasta Plans are in for an extension of Pizza Pasta (again!) should help a lot it’s always packed in there!
  18. It’s certainly something I’ve wondered what they could do - VR for over certain age, non vr standard coaster for those not old enough. Not sure how it would work in respect to throughputs etc - they could add the 4th train / re-introduce the blocks to keep it half decent?

    The wood confirms it!
  20. Looks like those of us who have ordered will need to wait a couple more weeks!
  21. Could try your luck and enter the competition to win one over on our facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/thorpeparkmania/
  22. I don't think they've claimed such a thing Just drawing attention to a new release in the middle of winter when not much else is going on!
  23. Am real happy they’ve released this - obviously it’s all down to personal preference, everyone likes different things but it’s good to see such a great reaction to it going on sale across social media, looking forward to it arriving now!
