Officially Open!

Thorpe Park has now officially opened for the 2008 season and Thorpe Park Mania has taken a visit to bring you all the latest updates from the park!

Now the park is officially open, that means we have a near full line up of rides, the only exceptions to this are Canada Creek Railway, Tidal Wave, Rush and Time Voyagers. Thorpe Park have stated that Canada Creek Railway will remain unavailable for the entire of the 2008 season, this is due to the construction work on the new roller coaster for 2009. Work is still being carried out on the remaining rides and are hoped to be available soon.

The Half term openings mean we have already seen the majority of changes for the new season, but there are some more such as the repainting of many rides and theming bits such as Rumba Rapids, Storm in a Teacup and Stealth's tyre entrance. Along with that many of the parks facility's have been upgraded and refurbished for the new year. You may also like to know that Detonator now has its countdown playing once again, along with the old playlist of Doly Parton and Co in the Canada Creek area.

As we saw with the revealing of the new map, Canada Creek has a new Noodle Bar which is now open in place of the Back Drop Studio which has moved next to Nemesis Inferno's shop. The seasons advertising campaign has also kicked off, click here to view the new television advert for the season.
