THORPE PARK Exclusive TPM Events

[TraX]

Hey guys,Being the 'official' THORPE PARK fansite, I'd like to get a feel of what type of events that you would perhaps like to see during the year.We're already putting together a SWARM and Colossus 10 event, so please no Swarm ERT, 'behind the scenes' type of stuff, as the park are already arranging these packages for roller coaster clubs during the year.I'm generally just trying to get a feel of what our members would like to see. It doesn't have to be 'trips' as such, it could be news or something else that you may find interesting.We were lucky enough to be given the 'official' tag from THORPE PARK themselves, so as such what would YOU like to see from the official THORPE PARK fansite?

But isn't this Colossus's 11th season, not tenth?

[Benin]

10 years since it opened... Blivvy's 10th year was 2008 for example, and of course Air's is this year as well...And god knowing that Colossus is 10 makes me feel SO OLD... I rode it on opening day when it was WORTH a 90 minute queue... Then it had to go ruin itself with new AWFUL trains...I would laugh if Swarm ERT was on the opening weekend Saturday, it won't be, but that would be excessively funny...

10th birthday, 11th season, as you said.Interestingly, it is technically Fright Nights 10th birthday this season (and 11th season), but the 10th season of FN was classed as the 10th birthday.

I want to see flat ride plans!

[Ellie]

I'd quite like to scale Stealth but that's not exactly feasible...

[TraX]

Scaling the top of any roller coaster's aren't things that we can swing for members, no matter how much we love 'em. ;)Anything else that we can put into motion that we want to see?

I would love to see the park when no one is around. I've done it with Flamingo Land and would love to see it here. It must be really eerie (and kind of depressing, seeing all those machines just sitting and not be ridden)

Has anything ever been done except ERT?

[Kevin]

The park when it is closed is nothing more interesting than when it's closed. Except people drive around in cars and the rides aren't moving. I promise you it isn't that interesting.

Why don't you try and sort a visit like I had yesterday? It was fairly interesting and got to see bits and bobs that I hadn't before. Yeah ok we didn't climb up lift hills but the inferno brake run and the educational side was pretty cool

[Fred]

Why no ERT when it's being arranged for coaster clubs.. are we not a sort of club anyway?Graemes thing is cool - and as for Kevins status, all parks are very interesting over closed season. I love wandering around them, even if I've done it a billion times before.

[TraX]

There is already a TPM Swarm and Colossus event being prepared, so I wanted other ideas than that.Did anyone enjoy Thorpe Park's advent calander, with a rare photo being shown on different days? Something news-wise, that could be interesting and exciting.

[Graeme]

How about pictures of some of the rides that didn't make it. Old planning ideas and such like?
