Trains are on site:

Apparently booking a day ticket for the 16th March online is £59, seems a little pricey. I was just wondering if that day is also unavailable for passholders to prebook. Not that I have a pass or intend on going, I'm just interested.

Oh absolutely, I'm not complaining about that. I just find it funny that they've had to stop where they have. 🤣

I believe the Sparkle Project at Thorpe is taking place over 3 closed seasons so we've got '25 and '26 to look forward to. But yes, it would be great if they keep the park in a permanent "sparkly" state after that. Side rant: There's a couple pillars like this that with one side that hasn't...

I'd like to mention Colossus at Thorpe Park. All the tunnels are illuminated by ghostly green light and it runs significantly faster at night (after it's warmed up) meaning the four heart line rolls in the dark is a pretty demented experience.

I still find it really funny how small Saw looks/is going to look!

We don't know that for certain. This might be a bit of a reach but the promotional email from today talked about "enhancing blood flow". Some are speculating that Towers have in fact found a way to bring the blood waterfalls back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone here have any experience with these trains? Are they comfortable?

The new trains have arrived on site and it seems they are indeed from Art Engineering. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3kWNIPte5N/?igsh=ajVwcDduaDF2d21w

Thorpe recently confirmed on the passholder group that the Burger King is getting "a full refurb inside and out".

Two weeks ago Thorpe said in the pass holder group they the trains were ready. Just not on site. They shouldn't be too much longer.

The initial spark was September 1st 2018 at Thorpe Park, shortly after 10am when 11 year old me had just come off SAW: The Ride (first big rollercoaster) for the first time.

The heartline roll track that got removed (again) back in December has been reinstalled. Weather this is still the original Intamin track or Taziker's "take 2" is unknown. I would assume it's still the Intamin track though, Thorpe has enough on their plate this closed season already. Source...

I couldn't tell you which one is better but I do think that Trebuchets are infinitely cooler.

If the Saw IP ever got scrapped I think a Buckwheats retheme could be very cool. Plus it wouldn't require that much work on Thorpe's part!

Good question. They'd have to get creative with where they put them though given the large wheel covers.

They probably just said that because it sounds better. The general public aren't going to care that the lift hill, station and breakrun is the original track.

This was from the comment section of the most Hyperia update on Thorpe's Annual Passholder Group on Facebook. I have an annual pass and took this screenshot myself; it's definitely legit. We can throw that pinch of salt over our left shoulder as it was indeed the real Thorpe Park who replied...

Absolutely! To further dwarf Saw and Colossus I badly overlayed some of Hyperia's initial plans over FistedColossus' recent photo. She'll certainly be a big 'un!
