Thorpe Park: General Discussion

It’s a shame they’re not looking at replacing the trains, in my view they are what let’s Colossus down in terms of ride experience and capacity/throughput.

Hopefully it’s something they consider once the track work is done presumably in a few years time. Wouldn’t even mind if they went with (less bulky/more comfortable) otsr’s again although lap bars would be fun.

What's the point of changing the track but not the trains imo they shouldn't even be allowed to run those god awful trains considering the amount of people I know who come of with a migraine for hours, not really the definition of fun or safe.

They've been out done by bloody flamingo land.

I suspect they are only doing the track because they have to. i.e. because it’s reaching the end of its service life, not out of any attempt to improve the ride experience. Therefore likewise the trains won’t be replaced until they have no choice.

If they really cared about the smoothness of the attraction, then Colossus would receive new trains. The fact it isn't shows that either Thorpe don't care, or not many of the public consider it rough.
