Thanks for the great video, so much going on in addition to Hyperia- seems they really are pulling out all the stops to make the park look great for 2024 season. I’m from the North East and Thorpe Park doesn’t really get marketed up this way as much as Alton Towers and Flamingo Land, so often gets overlooked as a destination, it’ll be on my to do list for next year though, for sure.

It's definitely worth it! One of the best parks in the UK in our opinion 😊

[@TrollLol-sg3so]

Wow from this footage you can see the park really needed some TLC, So happy they are working on it 😊

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

It just goes to show the amount of effort that gets put in during closed season.

Great video
Can’t wait for March 2024, my tickets are booked !!!.

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Looks like they will be re attempting the retrack section after it didnt fit last year

[@rhysbenneyworth347]

Very interesting. One thing I noted was Detonators ride sign has been replaced with the old version which I’m happy about. I’m hoping they also bring back the original count down

[@djglowuk]

I used to operate detonator back in 2002/3 with the countdown.i used to start the countdown late and drop them on 3 or early and drop them after the countdown had finished. They thought it was broken

[@lisaepton8505]

Will you be releasing the nemesis footage with the helicopter

[@adventurespoons]

That footage was from an undisclosed source 🤷‍♂️😉

[@jackhopkins9618]

has inferno been repainted too? or just cleaned?

[@moreattractionvideos]

I think it’s just wet from the rain and looks darker in colour 🤔 it does need a paint though doesn’t it

[@jackhopkins9618]

it just looks very clean!! whenever I go it always looks murky and covered in dirt, so if it has had a bit of clean (as maintainence or by the rain) then it actually doesn’t look so bad

[@moreattractionvideos]

@@jackhopkins9618yeah you might be right! Hopefully they have 😊

[@jackhopkins9618]

@@moreattractionvideos have a good christmas!

[@danielward4868]

Where has colossus' track gone?

[@mm2.aspect]

Retracking

[@adventurespoons]

They've removed the section that was retracked last year 🤷‍♂️

[@mm2.aspect]

@@adventurespoons yes, they retracked it mid season so it was rushed trying to get it back into place, to me it just looked painted when they put it back in it didnt feel smoother

[@launches.loops.and.lapbars]

@@adventurespoons What actually happened was the new track from Taziker didn't fit. Thorpe then repainted the track they'd removed and put it back in place. I've asked on the passholder Facebook group why they've removed it again, their response was track inspections/testing.
