Whiteknuckle Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I like my Nemesis Inferno mug, it's one of the old ones though, which says red hot inside. A coffee in that each morning wakes me up no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I like most of the parks merchandise. I have got the Nemesis Inferno Keyring, Thorpe Park mouse mat, Stealth Keyring and a Colossus medal. Next time I go I am getting a Nemesis Inferno mug I like the look of them. Some merchandise are a bit over priced but I don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have photos of me on every ride and I think a photo pass is excelent value especialy for Annual Pass holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meme5053 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 For SAW merchandise I predict a medal/t-shirt/mug that says "I won the game" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 It will probably say "I got sawed on Saw at THORPE PARK", just like "I got Rushed on Rush at Thorpe Park" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Most of the merchandise is cheap quality and over-priced. I've only ever bought a Stealth mug and the Thorpe Park mug. I like my Nemesis Inferno mug, it's one of the old ones though, which says red hot inside. A coffee in that each morning wakes me up no worries I have the Twisted Freak one - sums me up!I would buy a mousemat, but it's got the old logo on it and is smaller than the average mouse mat. And you can tell they don't sell many air fresheners, there's always loads of them! Has anyone seen those little LCD keyrings with the logo on? They're quite cool, but again, a no-no.The best thing I ever bought from Thorpe Park was some furry dice in the Nemesis shop several years back. They are black and have my name on them. I have them hanging in my car and have no intention of ditching them! I was gonna get some with my name on and some with my girlfriend's, and chop them up so that both our names are on one pair, thus making 2 pairs of these! But unfortunately they don't sell any with her name on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowe Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I don't think I've ever properly gotten merchandise apart from the odd sweet tub or two, because everything else was expensive. Could do with a N:I mug or a theme park hoodie to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Personally, I hate the new SAW medals, they say congratulations you have survived!, it should say I won or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxharvey Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The SAW needle pens are awsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam 795 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I use my Saw syringe pen every day at school now! and so do I but you have to put more pressure on the paper to get a good result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ^Same!^, my mates think they are insane! they cost less than a tube of millions unusual for Thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 What do they look like lol, I want one!I always buy a load of stuff whenever I go to Thorpe, I'm a money waster.The best thing I bought was probably a Thorpe Park cup that has some long straw wrapped around it.It's quite nifty ;)By the way guys, if the SAW medals said 'I won', it wouldn't really make sense cos the point of the ride is that you've failed, hence why Jigsaw says 'game over'.Still, they'd be cool.

Paul Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I know they're not actually merchandise, but I am a great fan of the "Unlimited Re-fills for £4.99" cup deal. I always get it and share between 2 people, which saves so much money! We usually re-fill it around 8 times in a day . Plus the cup is a nice memory to keep.

Josh R Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I think most, if not all of the merchandise sold at theme parks, not just thorpe park, is overpriced for what it is. Granted, it's mostly for people who maybe go once a year and want something to remember their day, but for us, who go quite regularly - I don't really see the point in spending £5+ on a mug, although, having said that, I don't actually have many decent mugs!

However with the use of an annual pass, you're paying the price it should be anyway. I happen to think the Merlin merchandise is really good, my nemesis mug is still going strong!

Morgan Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 From Thorpe I've got a Stealth, Tidal Wave, Saw, Nemesis and Twisted Freak mugs, and numerous fridge magnets. I've also got mugs from other parks, along with tonnes of fridge magnets.I also really like the Saw syringe pens, I meant to get one last weekend but completely forgot.
