Max9874 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just looking through the old web archives of Thorpe Park's website and found this. Bet everyone got triggered. Han30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wow who remembers this short lived mascot from 2004 Only picture I could find, apparently even Wayback machine can't be bothered to store much of that year's awful website. The tagline is "If you’re here for fear, Thorpe Park will satisfy your twisted cravings. We’ll take you to limits you didn’t know existed." The first time the park went solely towards thrill seekers but went way too far in that direction, I remember the page for the 'new' Rumba Rapids tried to sell it as being so intense you were guaranteed to vomit.

Matt A Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Looks like they actually knew the kind of theme they wanted then! Not just a random selection of themes all forced together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a random selection of themes all forced together I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, EpicSmatty.. A rail depot fused between the middle of a jungle and a fishing village makes perfect sense! Matt A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt N Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sorry to bump the thread, but if you’re nostalgic for the Thorpe Park Rangers, I recently discovered that the National Diving & Activity Centre near Chepstow, an attraction less than 10 minutes from where I live, actually integrated many of the former life-size Thorpe Park Rangers statues into a diving experience at the attraction: This might be one for you to visit if you miss the Thorpe Park Rangers and are into diving!
