    Your Thorpe Park

    2011: B&M flying rollercoaster located near the entrance bridge with a pretzal loop going under the bridge. This ride will go over small areas or water (that can be drained as B&M are a little tight on where they build) Theme: Oasis2012: Opening of the Waterside Hotel owned by THORPE PARK and will have several themed rooms. No SAW themed rooms. There will be regular ferry services to and from the hotel from the CRUST cafe. Neptunes Beech perminently closed at the end of this season.2013: Construction starts of a major deveopment on island C, said to be an Intamin Mega Lite. Miss Hipos Fungle Safari is replaced with a Mack ride, similar to battle galleons. Called Rafters. This ride will feature plenty of targets to hit with water and plenty of humans too:D2014: Intamin Mega Lite opens, this ride is ranked high in coasterforce. The ride is 50m high and lasts just over 2 minites. The layout is characterized by steep hills and drops, high speed horizontal turns at or close to ground level, over-banked curves, a twisting winding ‘up & down’ middle section, air-borne S-curves, and the hilly camel backs and bunny humps towards the end of the ride. 2014 also sees the end of Zodiac, although it is in storage.2015: The mega lite has been open for a year now and has atracted many international visitors, some rides seem to be aging now...Colossus seems much more bumpy now than ever before. This year sees the adition of a newly designed neptunes beach named poseidon's spa. Poseidons Spa takes up a small amount of octopus garden as well. It consists of a outside pool and an all year round inside pool with 3 slides...an aqua coaster circling the perimiter of the pool, a 'plug hole' slide and a verticle drop slide from 40ft.2016: SAW: the ride and SAW: ALIVE extend their sponsorship deal. Colossus closes for the season for an upgrade, from what we can see the track is being painted and at some points replaced...it is unknown whether MERLIN are extending it to a 14th loop so it will hold the record again. Just rumours. To compensate for Colossus being closed for a season the park invested in a system like dysneyland where guests would be given free fast track for certain times. Time Voyagers is no more...new film is called The Search. Also a spin and spew ride is added on island c with the intamin mega lite.
