I went to Thorpe Park 4 weeks ago for the 1st time in 12 years. It was my daughters 1st visit and it was open 10am to 7pm
We got on all the thrill rides and we both really enjoyed ghost train.

Yes I really like the Ghost Train I think it is very unique and fun to ride.

As I saw no POV I didn’t have a clue for the layout or story line.
The bit after you get off the train the 1st time in the chapel was rubbish but the end really got me with the fake shop.

Yes 1st time on the Swarm and loved it. It’s shocking how well themed the area is.
The others I had been on before and really just goes to show how many IP attractions the park had over the years as really just the Ghost Train, Bumper cars and the Swarm have been added to the park over the past 12 years.
The Walking dead is a better coaster going forwards now with only the 1 stop

I 1st went on that in 1999 when it was at Chessington.
We did 3 rides on it. The 1st ride wasn’t that good but guess to keep the queue line moving it was on the shortest setting. Then as we just did Saw it was the only ride we could have got on before the queues closed. We did it and it was more intense but still not as good as Chessington then as it was the last ride of the night they asked if guests wanted to get off as he was gonna do it on the highest setting and he wasn’t joking I felt rough and thought I was gonna be but they daughter loved it.

That sounds sick, I did detonator and the guy said; “Oops you’re seatbelts have failed, we’re gonna bring you down slowly”, and then dropped us!
