Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[djtruefitt]

She is actually taking the piss out of Thorpe, which I love.



A few updates from the video,
- Wet, Wet, Wet has been removed (or gone on tour )
- the old depth charge photo building which was RAP building recently has been knocked down.
- New playground outside the sone
- toilets being re done in the dome.

It's been years since I've seen Wet Wet Wet open so I'm not surprised it's going.

Also, the building to the right of the turnstiles is now the Accessibility Kiosk.

She's actually hilarious.

It's good to hear that they've repainted the toilets. Do you reckon they could do Colossus while they're at it?

Another interesting thing is the ride queue time boards have been updated, which are apparently more accurate.

Good on Thorpe for listening to guest feedback, I wish some of the others would react like this more.

Jack Silkstone has done a full behind the scenes tour of the park! I say "full" as it's nearly 40 minutes long



Hype!

 

[SuperMuscleMan]

Interesting promo vid from Thorpe!



(Disclaimer: don't try this yourself!)

Great drone usage, sound track meh, actual concept idea... Terrible. It's a frigging theme park... Your emphasis is on the park and rides not a bunch of men seeing how to que jump the most. Very one directional. No proper message, marketing manager aged 14?

Now that Wet Wet Wet has gone gone gone,could Rocky Express be relocated to this loction?

 

[rob666]

Surely wet wet wets location is big enough

The problem Rocky Express is having is not a lack of space to relocate it to.

Interestingly, Thorpe Park is building a playground near to the entrance, aimed exclusively at children under 12:

Apparently it’s a new Merlin strategy to have a play area in every theme park.

Could Thorpe possibly be starting to aim to appeal to a wider demographic?

Since they're about to build a hyper coaster in place of younger age attractions, I'd say no.

Interesting Thorpe are getting a playground. With Thorpe's clientel I'm imagining it now to be full of teenage louts throwing the swing over the top of the bar, smoking, drinking Lambrini and drawing pictures of penis's and writing "for sex call....." with felt tip pen on the side of the slide.
