Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[RicketyCricket]

During the recent consultation, Thorpe confirmed that "they are exploring options for Slammer's removal, and hope to provide an update in a few months time".

That should do the trick.

That should do the trick.

And they slammed it like a wrecking ball……

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground

slammer out …

Behold the AWARD WINNING Thorpe Park Resort car park.

The comments are worth a read.

Is this serious? Really? Car Park of the year? What are we going to have next fence of the year? Lamppost of the year?

 

[Rob]

Admittedly I have not been for a couple of years, but Thorpe's car park is awful and always chaotic when leaving!

 

[Ian]

Blackpool really better watch out. Thorpe are already threatening their tallest coaster record. They’ll be after their Loo of the Year awards next!

 

[JAperson]

oh @Ian just had to improve on my joke and get more likes

 

[Ian]

Not so much a joke really, in that Loo of The Year are real awards that Blackpool have posted around their park toilets.

But anyway, wandering off topic!

Correct me if I am wrong, but when first done up, the BPB toilets across from Alice won the European best toilet award.

 

[Rojo]

I'd expect no one to correct you on that @rob666 #crapfact

Towers would win fence of the year for that rediculous monstrosity they erected by RMT in Katanga Canyon.

Away from Exodus, it would appear that Thorpe Park are gauging public opinion for a “Carnival” event in 2022.

Various things are being surveyed, including event contents and visual style; the two visual styles you get to pick between are:

Survey link here: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...1S1LAw27ynO8nI9qTnMtBbrK91KzcyQERjN3UiwvU&s=1

What are you guys’ thoughts? I personally prefer style B (it’s more what I think of when I think carnival, personally), and I thought that the inclusion of “pop-up fairground rides”, in the survey was intriguing… could Thorpe Park be trying its own initiative similar to the RetroSquad at Alton Towers for at least part of 2022?

 

[MellowPasta]

I prefer B too. It feels more Bri’ish.

 

[jon81uk]

I went for style A the more Mardi Gras / Brazil / Notting Hill style carnival as its more interesting & different whereas circus/fairground is basically a theme park anyway.

 

[AT86]

A for me.

B puts me in mind of old Carnivals/Fairs/Circuses - it’s more of a Halloween type affair when it comes to Thorpe Parks use of this type of Carnival.

A is more party/celebration and would most likely resonate more with a large proportion of Thorpe’s guests.

 

[Danscott22]

I'd probably have to go for A based on those options. I prefer the style!

 

[pluk]

A looks a lot more fun to me.

 

[Plastic Person]

A features recognisable Carnival dancing and live music and I can't work out what's happening in B?

 

[Stuie]

Definitely C.

 

[AstroDan]

I would rather Thorpe and Alton offered different things...
