Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[John_P]

Thorpe Park is truly the Everton of the theme park industry.

New management every week changes nothing when you're rotten to the core.

Hopefully non of the Thorpe Park fans have him in a headlock by the end of the season.

Thorpe are at it again. They really don’t hang on to management at that park.

He seems to have experience working at the park, and hopefully will be able to sort stuff out at Thorpe better than divisional directors who have had no prior experience at the park that they are working for. I am currently optimistic.

Has this man been Thorpe's Divisional Director before, or am I making that up?

I only ask because the name "Neil Poulter" definitely sounds familiar in relation to Thorpe Park...

 

[Thameslink Rail]

He was operations director 2018-21 then managing director 2021-23.

He seems to have previously been the General Manager for Thorpe.

I do think one of the big issues at Thorpe is the change in managers every other week, as well as the marketing team.

Which then leads to a different theme and approach every season. Which leads to new branding, theming, entrance, etc every other season.

I also do feel a bit for them cause they clearly get very little budget from merlin each year and generally have to try and market nothing.

Either the intern is mucking about, someone's trolling us or we have a new abomination of a logo, according to comments on Reddit from people who've seen the logo change and revert a few times on various social media pages and the website

They did put a survey out regarding their branding. Nice to see they listened and are moving the park to the Canary Islands.

I'll laugh so hard if I am wrong, but there is no way that logo in genuine!

First Drayton Manor, now, this.... God I hope this is some staff messing with us.

One thing Merlin can do is branding. I’m with Rob here, that can’t be real.

Can it?

You are aware this is Thorpe Park, right? I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[Skyscraper]

Yeah surely that's fake. If it isn't then what the hell were they thinking?!

Thorpe Parks current logo is just simply really iconic, and a great one to be honest. The reason why they'd Drayton Manorise it, I have no idea.

 

[Danscott22]

Well that's..... interesting

Drayton Manor had a clear need to change the logo, it showed a coaster loop which was no longer the main focus of the park.

What Thorpes rational is who knows.

It's hardly iconic. It's more fitting for a leisure center than a themed amusement park.

If the change of logo is truly legit, then it suits the park far better than the previous one did. It's supposed to be a thrilling 'Island Like No Other'.

 

[Benzin]

Based on what Bobbiejobbieland cooked up recently it could well be real.

Clearly in the wrong job if get paid to create the recent trend of logo style.

Looks fan made to be honest.

Tbf Thorpe seem to get their fans to do half their work for them these days.
