Posted February 26, 201114 yr comment_109532 Hiya all,I was just wondering if there is any news about Thrope Blast this year as I missed the last year it happened in 2008 or 2009 cos my lift drop out on the day... I looked at the opening dates and times for 2011 and it looks weird that the park is open until 8pm on the 4th - 6th November. I then looked at the 'events' page and there is no sign of Thorpe Blast returning... So I was asking; Are they still thinking about doing it and thats why they kept them days open late, or, is it because its the last few days of the season and want people to stay longer.Sorry just one more question:Why was Thorpe Blast cancelled? My friend went in 2007 and she said it was really packed and the atmosphere was amazing with the 'real' music and the rides in the dark...Thanks In Advance
February 26, 201114 yr comment_109535 Yes, Thorpe Blast is happening this year :rolleyes:hope that helps

February 26, 201114 yr comment_109537 I have my contacts plus I've been there since 2008, I'm not going to say much but keep a watch on the Events bit on Thorpe Park's website as it'll pop up there pretty soonP.S - I got told in one of my inductions and when I done the days I can work it said it on that
February 26, 201114 yr comment_109538 double post ftw :PSun Scream - 15th aug - 31st august Fright Nights - 7th - 9th, 14th - 16th, 21st - 31st october*Thorpe Blast* - 4th - 6th novemberif you look on there website and look at the opening times for the events then you'll see * Thorpe Blast may be called something else this year*
March 4, 201114 yr comment_109852 It really would be great if this does go ahead. Unfortunately I missed both the previous Thorpe Blast events but have heard so many good things about them. Plus it would be great to see fireworks returning once again to Thorpe Park.

August 26, 201114 yr comment_122218 It looks like it says "blow S * * * up" does it not!? Bit of a risky name if you ask me :DEDIT: On the opening times calendar, it says 4,5 and 6th of November late closing, yet this Blow it up poster only says 5th and 6th, hmm...

August 26, 201114 yr comment_122219 It looks like it says "blow S * * * up" does it not!? Bit of a risky name if you ask me I think thats probably exactly what they were going for!The open times on the website not updated yet.
August 26, 201114 yr comment_122224 The Ultimate Fireworks show?Thought that was trademarked by Towers... Well, as long as it's all my favourite fireworks in one, then it's good then
August 26, 201114 yr comment_122225 I believe that Thorpe were planning to hold the event for 3 days, like with previous events, but the council limited it to two. Not necessarily a bad thing - probably means bigger budget per show springs to mind.
August 26, 201114 yr comment_122231 Oh dear. Could they really not resist that?I want to be optismistic about names. I love the idea of something imaginative not just three basic words strung together, words I'd normally see in a action movie.So I am going to be optimistic. Maybe Saw Alives fire earlier in the year wasn't just an accident and they plan to sail it to the middle of the lake and blow it up. Now THAT would seriously tempt me to go. So listen up Thorpe, do it.
August 26, 201114 yr comment_122232 In that case, the second word would be a highly accurate description. I would welcome this; it might even tempt me to renew my AP.
August 27, 201114 yr comment_122239 The friday would've been really quiet anyway, if towers is anything to go by.I like how stealths infernos seats are black on there. Lovely.
September 7, 201113 yr comment_122849 They're going to blow something big up, hmm... X:\No Way Out hopefully. Please Thorpe, please? Edited October 30, 201113 yr by Sidders Correct grammar, spelling and punctuatioin
September 15, 201113 yr comment_123332 They're going to blow something big up, hmm... X:\No Way Out hopefully. Please Thorpe, please?No! How dare you.
October 25, 201113 yr comment_125766 Looks like the something being blown up is neither Saw Alive nor X:\NWO, but is in fact "a vehicle". We’re going to be blowing up a vehicle to shake things up a bit! http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/events.aspxHmm.
October 26, 201113 yr comment_125855 I mightn't be going, but I bet it'll be some old rusty vehicle Thorpe picked up at the scrapyard, got it all cleaned up and rigged it with dynamite!
October 26, 201113 yr comment_125857 Is this gonna be a busy event then? Just wondering whether it was worth going or not
October 27, 201113 yr comment_125950 4.30pm Fire performers begin roaming at Stealth, SAW - The Ride and Tidal Wave.6.30pm Burning of effigies to begin.7.00pm Fireworks display starts.http://thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/events.aspx
October 30, 201113 yr comment_126228 Annual Passholders! MUST buy a £5 event ticket here to guarantee your entry.Are they taking the absolute #!*$?Surely a THORPE PARK annual pass costing over £80 should give you free access to THORPE PARK's events?Blimey..
October 30, 201113 yr comment_126229 Same rules for Fright Nights. Unless you have a Premium one obviously (I would hope, if they charge a fiver for them, out of order).
