It's simply not allowed. It is too dangerous for members of the public to take videos. The ones I posted above were taken by a professional company, hired by Thorpe.Off ride videos are fine. If you want to use a Tripod, ask at Guest Services before you start and you should be fine.

I just found this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuZMX56Eps0its from the tv programme balls of steel and features the annoying devil at thorpe park!found it quite funny actually....

I saw this on Balls Of Steel when the episode was first broadcast on Channel 4. It was shortly after I had started going to Thorpe Park regularly. Hilarious - everything he does is funny. Second to him, Neg's Urban Sports is funny.

It does get a tad anoying :mellow:

A tad? Hmm, I'd say more than that.

I emailed thorpe park to see or find out how to get permission to take a POV and this was their reply..."Please be aware that at both THORPE PARK and Chessington & Zoo, we do not allow guests to take items onto the rides as it is a considerable health and safety risk to those involved, our staff, other guests on the ride and also on the ground. Your request is not something that we would consider as in order to undertake on-board filming we have to use a professional camera mount that has been approved by our external Health & Safety governing body. This is a lengthy process, that requires a number of resources from the Park internally and externally, that we will only undertake for professional production companies who have liability cover that insures them for a minimum £10 million. Footage that you see people have taken from on-board any of the rides at either Park (excluding those on the official Park pages) has been done so without our knowledge or permission. Anyone who is seen to take a camera, mobile phone, etc onto any of our rides will be escorted off Park for risking the health and safety of our guests and staff, and further action possible dependent on the severity of the offence. Kind regards, GARETH ARCULUS"Id just like to point out the "production companies who have liability cover that insures them for a minimum £10 million." part of that.
