The CANCELLED Rides & Roller Coasters of Thorpe Park
A B&M Launch Coaster, GCI Wooden Twister and a clone of Disney World's Rock & Roller Coaster (Plus many more bizarre concepts!)
In this video we take a look at the weird and wondrous Thorpe Park projects... Which were never meant to be!
Massive thanks to SouthParks.co.uk, Adz Kerridge, Phill from Memories of Thorpe Park, and Marc from Thorpe Park Mania for helping out with this video. Make sure to check their pages out!

Thorpe park: Ok, so what we are thinking is a clone of rock and rollercoaster Should of got a b&m girl: Should of got a b&m. Thorpe park: fine, have it your way!
lets just take a minute to thank the lord that the slc was cancelled
Kind of glad most of these didn’t happen, however the fact the park dropped the GCI for Saw still saddens me to this day.

Saw is a great ride imo (I don't really mind the roughness) but the park could still really do with a good woodie to round out its collection. I think there really aren't enough good woodies in the uk, Wicker Man is alright but I've done Wodan at Europa Park and nothing in the UK even holds a candle to that

Genuine question - what is the appeal of wooden coasters?
Best quote from the amazing video: "now I'm older and less edgy" 😂😂
If there was ever a coaster that had Megafobia's layout and every bit of Wicker Man's theming, including Big Bob, the flags, the pre-show and the super well themed queue and ride area, would it be the world's best wooden coaster?

Lol Thorpe park seems just like the kind of place to get an SLC
The story with the woodie is that the plans you see in the video were completely genuine, I have seen them also, the plans were so ready to be effectively signed on the dotted line and then the takeover bid happened with tussauds so they got put on hold, Merlin genuinely looked at the plans and said it was too expensive hence why we got saw More rumours are abound that we will get our woodie and will pretty much appear in the same spot but moved a bit to fit in the land where loggers was, as apparently Merlin actually signed a 2 woodie coaster deal with GCI and will eventually build one when ready, the waiting game over the last few years is down to the site of loggers being infested with asbestos(one rumours it closed as it was found in the tunnel area) and Merlin kept argueing over the cost to fix repair and clear the area, so it was due 2021 but now probably 2022 if Merlin get their finger out
For next one: UK: Flamingo Land US: Busch Gardens Tampa ASIA: Fuji Q

Who else is now really excited for the opening date of Thorpe Park? I’m definitely going the day it opens, as I think I’m going insane without parks. The last coaster I went on was Wild Maus XXL at winter wonderland on the last day it was open. The opening is less than two weeks away and feels like forever.
Great video! Very interesting to see what could have been!

Despite having yet to go to Thorpe Park, even the thought explaining to people how you enjoyed the experiance of Keith Lemon's Golden Shower sounds like a weird RCT playthrough. Although, from the reactions and reviews of Storm Surge I've heard, it is pretty much like KLGS. Because it's pisspoor and is a pisstake (or so I've heard). Great video, well researched and funny. Never expected a 'Cheers, my son's crying' reference, which made me laugh. Looking forward to the 'Ya da sells Avon' reference in the Chessington version (!).

Interesting about the Vekoma, do wonder if they went as far as buying the slot for it but didn’t go through with the order, so Walibi/Six Flags Holland took on the order 🤔 I hope Thorpe can start getting the backing they deserve off Merlin soon

Other than “The Bigger One”, there’s not a lot to go at with BPB. They’ve always got plans but they don’t have to put in for planning permission unless it’s above 300ft, so documentation doesn’t get put out into the public domain.
Does surf coaster have four rails? :o 7:34
The GCI would’ve been great, the rest would’ve been bad or terrible
