April 3, 20187 yr comment_257145 I need to get some more of these pins! Thorpe definitely offer a good selection of merchandise and it’s great to see them releasing more unique items this year too such as top trumps and games. The ride brand chocolate isn’t too bad either (though perhaps a little pricey). I really liked the Stealth bakewell tart flavour they made. There didn't seem to be as many resins this time, but can’t have it all I guess.
April 4, 20187 yr comment_257146 Yay, new pins I like that they’re doing pins for the flat/dark rides at Merlin parks now. Hopefully we’ll see Rush and Detty pins soon?
April 7, 20187 yr comment_257238 Honestly the pins are amazing, love the vortex and samurai pins aswell, I cant wait to get the other merch including the top trumps
April 8, 20187 yr comment_257276 Is it just me or do the Colossus resins look like a diagram of the female reproductive system?

Got some more pins on Saturday - Roodie and I started collecting them last year and Gawd it’s both addictive and expensive Need to put them on a lanyard which is a nightmare as my OCD takes over as I try to have a lanyard with pins for each park....I now have a few too many TP ones so need to rearrange my others. Yeah I need help. My sister got the Monopoly which looks good but I can’t play that game as it gives me severe anger issues. I didn’t properly look at the other merch except the Top Trumps which I might get at some point. Does DBGT shop have any new interesting stuff? Didn’t go in there on Saturday to have a look
April 9, 20187 yr comment_257315 I think there’s some new ghost train clothing but none other than that as far as I know!
May 6, 20187 yr comment_257898 New Flying Fish resin! Also, there seems to be a shortage of Colossus merch though compared to all the other coasters They were even selling Amity speedway hoodies in the Colossus shop (but they did have Colossus t-shirts). Edited May 6, 20187 yr by Mer
May 6, 20187 yr comment_257899 Well, that Fish resin looks both random and impressive, never thought I’d say both together. They also have a new Stealth resin too, which is smaller but better than the previous one. Saw needs a new one as it’s had the same one for years. To whoever pointed the resemblance of the Colossus resin, thanks. Love the ride pins and been trying to get more of late, very addictive indeed. Bought the top trumps recently, they are not too bad either. Couldn't find the ride chocolate though. Does anyone know if they’ve (already) discontinued these?
May 6, 20187 yr comment_257900 As far as I know, they still sell the chocolate. Often hard to find being on a small shelf. There are different flavours at Alton Towers too.
May 6, 20187 yr comment_257901 The ride chocolate has proven to be very popular. I believe the supplier is having trouble getting enough sent to the parks regularly. At Thorpe, the chocolate is normally found in the following locations: -Megastore, with all the sweets -Island Shop, just opposite the entrance of the queue for the tills -Each ride shop has the corresponding ride's chocolate, usually at the till The flavours available at Thorpe seemed more varied and interesting than the ones at Towers too, which is nice.
May 6, 20187 yr comment_257906 That Flying Fish resin looks unfinished, as though they forgot to apply blue paint for the logo and the supports.
April 2, 20214 yr comment_272974 Thorpe have introduced some new birthday pins for this year: On top of that, a retro Pirates 4D pin is available: Currently available online on the park's website: https://shop.thorpepark.com/collections/pin-badges Really nice designs imo, and interested to see what else they bring out this year!
