BREAKING NEWS - Today, @THORPEPARK have revealed at their in-person consultation that they plan to build a 236ft coaster for the 2023/4 season. hyper it is!

The original ride was legendary! What I hate more than anything on the retheme is the lack of finale. I loved the old finale with the strobe lighting it was magical!

Got to be a Woodie hasn't it?!

Anyone else expecting a few smashed up rooms and drunken antics around the place? Or is that the kind of thing they are aiming for?

I wonder what the actual technicalities of the changing of the 2 back rows consist of? I would assume B&M would need to be in contact with the park or the ones who modify the trains. I always thought B&M disliked backwards though...and what with X being backwards this seems like a complete waste to me.

Maybe it's dust and stuff from the construction site.

The dungeons want you to name their new boat ride. https://www.facebook.com/londondungeonofficial?ref=ts&fref=ts

In terms of the next big coaster what I would love to see is a B&M hyper coaster or a Intamin Woodie. With the hyper though a B&M would have to go over 150ft at least, and digging a hole for such a ride would be way too expensive. Maybe they would go for an intamin hyper as it doesnt use so much room? A woodie would be easier to create a good ride experience with less hight but wasn't there an issue with the ground being too unstable for a woodie? Unless they have sorted that with the hybrid models or steel supports/wooden track. Aside from those two I'd love to see one of the gerstauler or mack launched rides...think Maverick at CP, that could work well at Thorpe. But overal what they lack for me is an airtime machine.

Where did you get that track is it an addon?

Really? I find Saw unbearable and Colossus isn't great but bearable.

Any idea whats wrong with the train or why there having issues? Please don't let this be a common occurance Thorpe!

Happy 10th Colossus! Here's to the next 10!

So our Samurai is a fun fair version? Or are all mondial top scans fun fair versions?

B&M superiority

Gay and single...hint

I think it's just that the ride has alot of parts and just isn't designed too well.I have no idea if the other one has the same problems but the ride just seems to be flawed in it's design.

B&M Hyper past monks walk up to treasure island and back perhaps ?

The ride is a failure. Even S&S admit that as they no longer produce it and theres only two in the world.

Thinking about it, that would make more sense.I'd suspect a new 2013 flat would go on the new island next to swarm...there was also work going on on that area (diggers and such) on the 15th.

If Slammer was actually reliable it would be a good ride.

That first airtime hill looks crazy.

I CANNOT WAIT to ride Shambahla!Look how it towers over Khan! https://fbcdn-sphoto...738909581_n.jpgTallest coaster in Europe...so glad we are getting something of similar scale to the American parks.Wonder if the UK will ever see anything of this scale...

Agree with Mark. There really isn't any other flats that thorpe could get that they haven't already got tbh.I'd personally prefer for them to save the space for future coasters, or get a proper dark ride.
