Inferno Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Does anyone else have these random things in life that just make you think of Thorpe Park? For me, it's these things every time! Dr Pepper I've never been a big fizzy drinks fan, but ever since they used to give out free Dr Pepper at Sun Scream, the taste of it always takes me back to Thorpe Park around 2009ish era! Dolly Parton Every time I hear Dolly Parton I am taken back to Loggers Leap's queue! Water fountains There's a particular smell that seems to come from water fountains in shopping malls - maybe they use the same type of cleaner/chlorine, but the smell always reminds me of Tidal Wave! Arcade machine music This sound is Thorpe Park to me: Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Completely agree with the arcade and Dolly Parton songs! Every time I hear that arcade sound it reminds me of Thorpe park as you hear it every time you walk in and out of the dome. Dolly Parton (+ a load of other songs) remind me of Loggers and Canada creek 😢 Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Doyle Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Anytime I hear "innit bruv" or the smell of weed hits my nose!!* *so I was thinking of the place endlessly when I was in Amsterdam recently!!

Marley Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 On topic. The bins at Thorpe have a sickly sweet smell that attracts wasps like nobodies business. Whenever I smell it outside of Thorpe, that's where my mind takes me back to. Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have smelt it quite a lot a Thorpe park - worst time being recent fright nights where it absolutely reeked of it outside the dodgems. Another time on the bus when there was only a handful of us and someone had some strong stuff on them. Had a young lad come up to me asking for a cigarette paper which I didn’t have but I offered him a cig and he said he needed paper to roll a joint! It’s the only park I’ve been to where you can smell it frequently Martin Doyle and Inferno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 It's hilarious but also incredibly sad that the overwhelming response to this thread is just the smell of bins and weed. The place really has gone down the toilet hasn't it. Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Whenever I'm at a park and see queue jumpers, people smoking in queues, or smell weed, it's referred to as "the Thorpe Park special." Truly cemented in theme park lingo. Martin Doyle and jessica2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 It's ghastly. I counted 61 people queue jump in the queue for Shambhala and that was just when I started counting! And not even just people catching up to friends! Queue jumping at Thorpe is non existent in comparison! My non enthusiast friend was put off of theme parks for life!
