JoshC. Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 This seems to be the perfect event for the park.There's something for everyone with regards to taste in music, and I'm sure most people would love the atmosphere. Also, from an enthusiast perspective, I'm not really bothered that some ride music will probably be lost out on for this, simply as Thorpe have got a perfect mix of everything! Personally, I loved the Twisted Carnival / Cirque du Freak events from the past couple of Easters, so a little bit disappointed they're making way for this (I'd love it if it could be brought back as a May/June half term event though, instead of another Head Rush...), but nonetheless, intrigued and excited for this, and Thorpe have certainly made me want to pop down there that weekend! YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 they are really pushing the events this year, loads of reload, this, blow s*it it AND fright nights, I'm very impressed.this looks like a lot of fun, and very different. I'm guessing that they are going to have the pop karaoke in the CCR station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th13teen Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I always said Thorpe Park needed to work with Ministry of Sound because it fitted in with the Thorpe Park clientel! Yet no one seemed to listen! (expect thorpe park!) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 It will be interesting to see how well the Colossus Silent Disco works in practice. It could be a lot of fun if it runs smoothly like at festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpeparkjack Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Right I don't usually do trip reports, but I think this event deserves one and more. I visited the park on Friday with a degree of expectation following the sucessful launch of THE SWARM. Boy was I impressed. Seriously this event was FANTASTIC, I can't really explain how impressed with the park I actually am. There is no doubt, THORPE PARK is on top of it's game. This event is right up the target audience's (and mine) street and was execueted with complete ease. The park wide Ministry of Sound takeover sounded SO GOOD. I don't care what nit picky enthusiasts think about the removal of the goony theme music, this park wide DJ works so well and the tunes sounded fantastic (especially in the Easter sunshine). It suits the park, the audience and the event perfectly. The Karaoke machines were great fun and a welcome addition, it made queueing that much more enjoyable. The Silent Disco in the Colossus queue line was simply a revolation, loved it! THORPE PARK have really made a special effort this year, for THE SWARM, and for this MASH UP event. The MASH UP show was great, the arena was packed for a really entertaining 20 minute show, people of all ages were engaged it really was great. As for the park itself, on great form. THE SWARM was the only ride which was operating on a poor level, with fairly prelonged breakdowns throughout the day. Everything else was on full capacity and the staff really pushing the pph which was great to see. THORPE PARK is on top form this year, the park is looking the best I have ever seen it and the future is very bright. Alton Towers just sneeks the N.O 1 spot for me, but is sliding very very quickly whilst THORPE is rising sky high. If SW7 is not executed with SWARM like elegance, Alton is in danger of losing it's N.O 1 spot in my opinion. Only real negative was Pizza Hut in which it was a complete mission to get any sort of pizza, they need to address this soon. Rumba Rapids is now reserved for young families with kids under 12 which although is a shame, didn't impact on my day.
