Theme Park Fanatic Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi as Old Town has closed,I would like to know what people think should happen to Rocky and what is actually happening with it. I have heard that Rocky has been sold if this is true I think a small Theme Park like Camel Creek should purchase it. Please post your theories,opinions and any rumours you have heard here.

Hethetheth Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think it'll probably go to the scrapheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park Fanatic Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hi all is the fate of Rocky Express 100% known yet? All of the other Old Town rides have had their fates sealed. I would be full of gratitude if someone could aid me to complete the Old Town puzzle,by telling me the fate of the area’s oldest and best loved ride.

JoshC. Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 It is currently still in place at the park. It almost definitely won't be moved and will be scrapped when the time comes to remove it in preparation for the new roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 SBNO for the time being, but then scrapped. No, this one won’t be going to Chessington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Fanatic Posted April 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 As the Thorpe Park season progresses has their been any word on the future of Rocky Express? TBH I think leaving it SBNO is a shame. I’ve heard that Rocky Express has been sold too another Theme Park,but that lead has gone stagnant. Could someone confirm or deny if Rocky has been sold. Apparently another Theme Park fan saw Rocky Express listed on a second hand ride selling website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not be relocated either. At best, we will see part of the ride included somewhere around Project Exodus as a theming feature. If not, the ride will just be scrapped."

Exciting times! 😂 @Mattgwise this was my first thought when I saw the photograph. The ride is 100% intact and in remarkable condition. While the other rides in Old Town have been removed Rocky Express hasn’t. I’m expecting a relocation to another area of Thorpe Park over the closed season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rocky Express gets the Flying Fish treatment and is refurbished and relocated. Earlier this year the manager of Thorpe said Wet Wet Wet had been removed,as they know what guests would like to return. Reading between the lines I think Rocky Express will be relocated to the area that Wet Wet Wet vacated. As well as this I think the entire beach will receive a major overhaul or be removed. My theory comes from the fact a new Play Area was installed while the rest of the beach was left untouched. If Rocky Express returns it’ll be the icing on top of the cake. I’m already thrilled about the following. Duel at Alton Towers is receiving work,Nemesis Sub Terra is reopening,a possible new Flat Ride is opening in place of Enterprise,the opening of The World Of Jumanji at Chessington,Chessington’s new Jungle Bus and the reopening of Valhalla at Blackpool Please Beach. I almost forgot to mention that Blackgang Chine on The Isle Of White is getting a new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
