Thorpe Park Vlog March 2017
Join us in our first vlog of the year from Thorpe Park where we check out all of the changes made for 2017 across the island. We were also lucky enough to preview the new Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise Of The Demon and in this vlog we talk all about the changes made to the experience. For anyone not wanting to spoil the experience of the updated Ghost Train we clearly tell you when our review will take place, this is towards the end of the vlog. We also ride some of our favourite roller coasters in the UK such as The Swarm, Stealth, Colossus and many more, along with a variety of on and off ride footage.

I really hope Thorpe Park doesn't try to go back down the family route. Yes, granted they should have a couple family rides, but if people are looking for a family park, they can go down the road to Chessington, or even that little bit further to Legoland. Alton Towers is half family half thrill, which only leaves Thorpe Park as the 'goto' for thrill seekers. I think they should just enhance the Thrill aspect of Thorpe Park, and keep it aimed towards Teenagers and young adults.

EVILBUNNY28 Yeah I agree. I first went to Thorpe Park back in 2011 and I liked the teenage/adult target audience that's what made the park feel unique in my opinion. I liked how it was aimed at thrill seekers and not families with small kids like 98% of theme parks

I like your enthusiasm and honest joy - nothing faked or "done for effect" and the way you and your friends encompass the fact that you are there to have FUN and not try to be either over the top or bullyish. If a person can't have fun without being judged then it's a sad world. Can't wait to see your video on the Derren Brown Ghost Train.

when i went the stelf was not open and the ghost train but i still enjoy it. my cousin first roller coster was the swarm. thanks for puting me in the show a week a go xx.
This is the very first vlog of yours that I watched! I love your videos
I think Rumba Rapids has been painted to fit in with a future coaster in that area. That's probably why there's been three clearance, and new theming, to match a possible dark theme with the new coaster. Fingers crossed on a B&M Hyper!
Fantastic vlog! Looking forward to this season and great to see Alex and Martin in so many vlogs lately! :)

I went to Thorpe park for the first time last week. Funny considering I live in that area. I loved the rides. Especially Nemesis Inferno and The Swarm. Mind you me and my sister waited almost an hour in the queue for Saw due to weather conditions, were told to leave the queue but we stayed and when our time came it wasnt worth it. I'm glad I can say I went on it but it's not as good as it looks.
Saw you lads getting nemesis inferno. Had to explain to my other half who you where and why everyone was pointing. Hope u had a good day
Derren brown is the patron of my school, no joke.
Do any of the coasters at Thorpe Park need aircraft beacons or not due to thorpe being in close proximity to Heathrow Airport?
I have only been to Thorpe park twice and I have been on swarm about 12 times
Omg thank you for giving me a shoutout!!!!!! ❤️❤️
It was really cool briefly meeting you guys! When you came up the queue line on the Fish I recognised you straight away haha! Me at 43:19 :b

On Swarm would you say going backwards or forwards is better? Which one is more thrilling? I've only ever been on once and I decided to do it backwards. The ride was a mix of smooth not overly scary but enough to get a little buzz.

Hi I saw you today at alton towers!!!! I really love your videos!
I purposely waited to watch this until i got home from my first visit of 2017 today and i absolutely loved the ghost train updates!!! New top dark ride especially for someone who doesnt normally like ghost trains after i freaked out on one aged 9 at adventure island in 2006 but words that i wish hadnt come out my mouth did come out my mouth (lots of bad language from me)

And I have to ask, as a fellow glasses wearer, do you keep your glasses on every ride? Or do you take them off on ones that go upside down or vertical?

I'm Really Excited To Return This Week, Can't Wait For Rise Of The Demon, All The Rides And Merch! :)
great vlog shawn
the gerstlauer coasters in Hansa Park aren't that bad, I think Curse of Novgorod is a brilliant ride experience.

If it were as smooth on-ride as it looks from off-ride then I would agree with you - but "Gerst-ache" is a real thing caused by their trains just not running as smoothly as B&M's. I've done it once or twice now but I'd rather go round the more physically pleasant rides again than do Saw. I am going to set myself up for some Gerst-ache later this year when I get to visit Fuji-Q Highlands and try Takabisha - but I'm not expecting to want a second ride.
@theobrigham

Honestly its kinda overstated. Its really not that bad especially being next to Colossus. I know their trains don't run as smoothly as B&Ms but nobodys does really so its not worth dwelling on to be honest. I find rides such as The Swarm too smooth, thats part of the reason its so boring. It kind of just reminds me of Galacatica really - slow and dull. Although Swarm was quite good when I went last sunday

it is almost impossible to gain permission even if you have proper risk assessment and public liability insurance in place. Due to huge amount of requests, Merlin will give such permission to their target media only.
the box in the saw shop that looks cool is done by removing the backlight from a LCD screen then stuck to the glass of the cabinet. they use the lights in the box to illuminate the pixels. very easy to make if you have a old computer screen or TV :)

Great vlog (I know it's not new) never been to thorp park but it looks great. Though I think Swarm has amazing theming, I don't think the theming is the best in the UK.
Stealth wasnt open when i went 😭 im going again in september and stealth will be my first ride
Interlocking corkscrew😂 also I hope they don't change this to a family park as I love the big rides. If the rumours are true Thorpe Park will be getting their big ride after sw8 at alton towers next year. Is it certain slammer and loggers leap are coming back? Slammer was my favourite ride there

I think Merlin realise the ghost train has been a bust and there has been a panic to salvage the ride as much as possible. To invest so much money into an attraction that will date very quickly whilst not having the budget to produce the turnaround for technology based attractions like universal, was bizarre.
Going to Thorpe park soon a little nervous about saw but I can't wait
Hey, what day did you go? I went on Thursday this week before the ghost train opened and managed to get on the ghost train due to technical rehearsals
