Thorpe Park has begun work on a large development – a new attraction set to open in 2016.
The development will see the closure of Studio 13, the Arena, Mr Monkey’s Banana Ride, Chief Ranger’s Carousel, Calypso BBQ, and the Nemesis Inferno shop. Whether the Ranger County attractions will reopen in other areas of the park is currently unknown, although Studio 13 will probably be located elsewhere in 2015.
So far, work done includes some tree demolition on the site of the past Miss Hippo’s Fungle Safari ride, and the seats in the Arena are being removed.
