So the Crash Pad is leaving.
Don't get too excited it seems it is just the name.

Thorpe Park 2014: The water front hotel.

Hmm, this seems like another attempt by Thorpe to move away from the teen/thrill market and more towards "family". Change the name to something more Surreyesque and bosh, the appeal of it has changed.
I always though the Crash Pad (the concept, not th name) was a temporary thing until they built a permanent one anyway.

The thing is the waterfront hotel makes it sound like a nice hotel and its just a permanent snoozebox.
I hope they eventually build an actual hotel rather than just keeping this.
Is it a picture of a real coaster though? Looks like The Swarm lift hill with a couple of dive loops and some dramatic lighting thrown in.

PSML. That might be the best blunder by Thorpe I've seen.

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't pretending to be something that it isn't. This seems like a very contrived attempt to reach out to people who actually have the money to stay there, but are (hopfeully) smart enough to know that it's just a bunch of shipping containers with beds and flatscreens.

Yeah I did try to break out my expert coding skills but alas...Twitter just hates CF
In any case it may be because it's so local to me but I can't really imagine staying overnight at Thorpe, to me it's not really a 2-day park. That, and I'd rather not deal with the chavs dicking about overnight.

It might not be TOO bad if it actually fit in with the Thorpe market...At least chessington has the sealife...where on earth does 'shark' come from? The only fish-y thing there (apart from the small and clientele) is Flying Fish.

So does dark, but it isn't the dark hotel

Thorpe Dark would make sense too though, considering their after hours entertainment throughout the year..
