News & Rumors

 

ThorpePark_2008logo
THORPE PARK
United Kingdom
Merlin Entertainments Group

 

Park News - (7/2/10) Thorpe Park now has their own iPhone App it seems.
    (5/4/10) Thorpe Park will become host to a new game show called Scream If You Know The Answer. Players are teamed up with Celebrities and asked to take on various challenges in the park which all take place ON THE RIDES.  They’ve got some video clips posted which are funny. I think I’m most impressed by the guy reading the questions in this clip, who is seated on Saw: The Ride between the two players.

 

icon_STOP2011 - Storm Surge - Planning - (8/23/10) New ride pieces for Storm Surge are now on site at the park and can be seen here.
    (7/21/10) Thorpe Park have purchased Storm Surge from Cypress Gardens, one of those spinning rapids rides that looks like a giant waterslide with a lift hill. You can catch a video of it in action embedded below. According to the plans submitted they are planning on placing it in a kiddie area of the park not far from X: No Way Out it seems.

 

icon_STOP2012 to 2016 - 2 Coasters and More - In Planning - (8/23/10) We’ve heard an interesting rumor this week, claiming that a wooden coaster may be under consideration as one of the park’s new coaster projects. Anyone else heard this?
    (7/11/10) Some interesting maps show off just where Thorpe Park is planning on putting their next two coasters, posted over at Total Thorpe Park. Don’t read too much into the layouts however, I’m sure those are mainly placeholder artwork, as it’s too soon to have final layouts for both rides just yet.
    (7/2/10) According to this article Thorpe Park is planning on building two new roller coasters at the park between now and 2016, which was submitted to the local council outlining the next 5-years of growth for the park. In addition the park wants to add 5 new “round rides” (aka: Flat Rides) up to 25m tall. Of the two coasters, one is said to be up to 40m tall and the other up to 50m tall, so both would come in under Stealth’s impressive 62.5m top hat.

 

???? - Hotel - In Development - (9/19/06) You can see concept artwork for the new proposed Hotel at Thorpe Park here. Just click on each of the links. From the look of things however, they seem to have dropped the idea of an indoor waterpark.
    (7/7/06) Coaster Force reports that Thorpe Park will show off possible plans for a new waterpark hotel to the public on July 14th and 15th.
