Note to anyone thinking of coming by train - just found out that South West Trains are running their Winter Sale promotion which means that if you are travelling from a SWT station to Guildford, the ticket will be £10 return, bargain! http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/wintersmiles.aspx Normally my ticket from Portsmouth - Guildford return would be £22.50
-
I'd be surprised if queueing inside the cave is deemed safe any more thanks to H&S!
-
Said this myself a few pages back - I still hope to be pleasantly surprised but I reckon it won't be back until the Summer. If we're lucky.
-
That would make sense - you probably wouldn't want to get a Tidal-Wave soaking of lake water, but for Loggers & Rumba it's fine
-
I'm still wondering if we'll see the return of those amazing Abdab models
-
Yes was just going to say - now referred to as "Resort hotel" or "on site hotel" - I'm sure a 'proper' name will be announced soon. Big thumbs up for the Shark concept art - it would be amazing if something like that did come to fruition. As I said in the 2014 thread - theming wise, Swarm island is a huge thumbs up from me - and what was promised in the plans was delivered, and then some - so hopefully this concept art is another good sign of things to come - and maybe Angry Birds land will be well themed. (It still pains me that Stealth never got it's grandstand, I would've loved it even more if so )

This is the post LiamT is talking about: http://www.towersstreet.com/talk/european-parks-and-attractions/thorpe-park-europe%27s-most-un-resorty-resort/ OK, maybe it's a little over the top in parts, but ultimately, it's pretty spot on - amazing how much "damage" an awful map, CAPITALS, "Say No To BO" etc. can do to the brand image - I.e. cheapening and nastying it... which to me explains why they are sticking the word "Resort" on the end of Thorpe Park. As I keep saying - I just hope Angry Birds Land is pulled off well and a turning point... that said, other than the pointlessness of Swarm backwards, I think 2013 was one of Thorpe's best years in some time, so perhaps last year was the beginning of the change
-
"A future theme park season" is rather worryingly vague, would hate to see Dragon Falls in it's current state until 2016. If Ramases is back this year, I'll be back - if not, I'm staying away
-
Adding the word "Resort" does not automatically make Thorpe Park a resort
-
Care to divulge the reasons? I'm intrigued
-
I haven't skated for quite a while - so whether I stay on the ice for the whole session remains to be seen Looking forward to this - need to make a note of last train(s) back to Portsmouth
-
Agree with this - and the same applies to The Swarm. As I say, if the area is as "immersive" as SAW Island or Stealth Island, then I will take my hat off to them
-
I think Sidders is wary of product/brand tie ins from previous history and I don't blame him - Ribena Rumba Rapids anyone? Tie in finishes, rip out any reference to Ribena and as you were. That said, I am quietly optimistic for the new land - c'mon Merlin, please do your magic! If we have a themed area as strong as Swarm Island we're on to a winner. If it's a couple of fibre glass birds scattered about, then it's a definite must try harder
-
I hope the name does have INVADED in capitals I do wish THORPE PARK would stop SHOUTING at us
-
People may or may not be aware, but Detty audio is all here http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/ride/Detonator/media EXPLOSION! I don't think Detty is being renamed EC! - I would've thought THORPE PARK would've mentioned it in their press release if so?
-
I'm sure it will be closed until May, I can't see any way that Detonator wouldn't be closed until May - I would've thought that thoroughfare past Detty to Nemesis Inferno will be closed so you have to go via the Teacups and Rumba to get to Nemesis Inferno.
-
I thought you'd be catching the cider train, Sidders?
-
Indeedy Mr. pluk! A good friend of mine is a Bose sales specialist and said the same thing.

£48 is kinda crazy, but I've never ever paid full price, always used BOGOF or similar (I'm not a MAP holder, so shoot me )
-
Thanks for the review and pictures on the previous page! My gf isn't a coaster fan at all HOWEVER, she wants to go this year purely because a Wallace & Gromit ride exists there. Winner... I've always wanted to go to BPB!
-
This thread is becoming more exciting and dramatic than Danny Dyer taking over the Queen Vic!
-
As soon as the frosts have finished for winter, I have pleasure in confirming that TPM will be growing a flower bed celebrating 10 years, similar to this one....
-
Just to say - skate prices are confirmed as £5.90 and £1.90 for skate hire Looking forward to this, 3 and a bit weeks to go! If anyone is heading up from Portsmouth I'll be getting the train as I say

Just seen you're in the 30 club like me, Merry-go-girl!
