I Stay At Thorpe Park Shark Cabins - Was NOT Expecting THIS!

[@exxsprout]

Tim, I've been watching episodes of the Hotel Inspector with Alex Polizzi, it would be a cool series to visit the hotels she's helped to see if they're still up to par or even still open.

[@MargaretUK]

I watch those too, it would be interesting to see Tim visit some independent hotels like those you mention 👍

[@congresstaart823]

Awesome idea!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I've never seen that show lol

[@ThesecitydaysUkblog]

​@@WalkWithMeTimHow have you never watched that?!?

[@johnbarnes888]

Weirdly I’ve been watching that show as well. On KZbin. I guess that’s the good old algorithm at work. Great idea for Tim to visit those places

[@michaelknight2721]

Thankyou for your Thorpe Park Hotel video,I couldn't stay there,I would need a room with a window.Shame the water park was closed

[@chrisonYTtour]

If you’re not local and after spending a big day in the park, I reckon that’s a great value option for a place to stay, recharge and ready for another day of fun. Cheers Tim 👍

[@matthewb604]

Stayed here a few times, it's basic, but after a long day at the park you only really need a place to sleep. For dinner we actually walked to The Red Lion in Thorpe village for a really good meal. Rather than pay theme park prices for food inside the dome

[@walterfillingham]

It actually looks like a cabin on an offshore oil and gas platform in the North Sea albeit more brightly painted, where I would spend two weeks every month on a two week on two week off rotation. We usually have bunk beds (bottom for day shift, top bunk for night shift).

[@beachdawgz]

Those are cute, and I like the decor. I don't like not having windows. I was going to rent one those on a lot by the beach in NC, but I didn't think about the no windows. Thanks for the video

[@and7barton]

I love the atmosphere of these kinds of place when they're deserted. I'd keep well away during busy periods.

[@marthaanderson2656]

Cruise ship cabins are constructed inside what are essentially shipping container type units and slid in to place on the ship. The little room has old cruise / ferry vibes

[@jesushitler2000]

More like migrant worker accom, for the managers of course !

[@shanehall98]

I really like that aesthetic it is like a very posh industrial building mixed in with a beautiful theme. I think Pontins could do something similar.

[@kevincrouch2732]

Thanks for the tour - Kevin & Cyndy

It was a very good travel day blog today of you chilling out and relaxing staying in Thorpe Park shipping container hotel tim

Glad you enjoyed it

Very interesting its a good idea for people who love rides

[@Curlyperm59]

Reminds me of butlins all those stairs and the bunk beds. Not sure I would like to stay there though. Thanks for another brilliant vlog ❤xxx

Hello Tim how are you and gabbie and baby Casper and Holly love your vidio of the Thorp hotel Shawn and Charlotte have stayed there too have a good time much love to you and your family stay safe xx ❤😊

[@Max_vlogsz]

I really like watching ur vids, you should go to USA and make some videos there on hotels

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I'm planning too 🙂

[@joannharrington2279]

That would be a pretty cool place to stay. What a great idea to reuse shipping containers. I don't think I would stay there if the park were open. Too noisy and crowded but worth a try in off season.

[@leeannw484]

For autumn/Halloween can you stay in more haunted castles/ hotels? I know it's a bit early to be asking but gives you plenty of time to research & book 😁👻

[@liamcollinson5695]

If the want to do something like that I would recommend the golden fleece in York it's allegedly very haunted and doesn't cost a fortune I would say you will probably need some bravery. I have heard so many creepy stories about the place

[@leeannw484]

@@liamcollinson5695 looks perfect! Exactly the kind of place I'd love Tim to check out... Especially as he seems to have some belief in the supernatural, makes it a more enjoyable watch 👻🎃

[@stepsgrouprock]

If you're there after the vibes bar and kitchen closes, you can always uber some food to the park. I stayed there not long after it re opened during covid, and they actually recommend it to you. Every time I've stayed there since I've ordered out. It's cheaper, and the options are so much better. McDonald's, kfc, small independent places as long as you put in the parks address they'll deliver.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Yes I did think that

[@hamshackleton]

That's one long walk from the carpark, for those a bit less mobile!

[@prykey8674]

Thanks for the video Tim! Interesting to see the park closed! Glad you had great weather!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@richardtunstall9827]

Summer nights used to be great the park opened till 10pm with hardly any queues 😊

[@piddlydiddly]

Can you do a day and evening in the Alton towers hotel, theme park and waterpark please? Great video as usual Tim!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Coming soon

[@pimpozza]

Fascinating vlog, Tim. I have seen homes made from these shipping containers but always think they must feel a bit claustrophobic.. Very eerie seeing an empty park in the evening.. I half expected a creepy clown to jump out! 😂 Thanks for the interesting video! 👍

[@2muchFun4yourBuns]

you dessrve so many more followers, your reviews are genuine and unbiased. that’s so uncommon these days, coolest reviewer ever!!

Thanks

Looks really nice. The chrome fittings and mirror were spotless to.

[@EmmaCruises]

I think I'd be happy in the roooom! As long as it's clean, I'm happy. Great video!

[@barrydixon7093]

Looks like a great place to stay there , nice room for a small family sleep there at night spend the day out and about.

[@Waynetiktok6]

Have you got any videos of Skiathos not Zakinthos in Greece

[@danielhuncho32]

Think he’s going to Zante instead but if he hasn’t booked it he could consider there it’s unbelievable he needs to visit

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Yes coming soon 😉

[@BBROPHOTO]

Ahh, seeing that Canada Creek and Rocky Express sign brought back memories. Classic childhood memories of the area of park now taken up by Hyperia.

[@Japonicastar]

Not sure if you could, but I’d be tempted to go into the car park in the morning and give my day tickets to someone arriving. You know if you were in the same position and was leaving and not using yourself. I’m sure Tim left far before opening time but that’s what I’d like to do. Nice to pass good karma if you can 😊

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I would have but left so early I did say that at reception they said no

[@jesushitler2000]

Yes pass it along I was at a festi once Eastern Haze only ran for one year twaz nice, anyhoot I stayed to do the litter pick for £25 a day and a guy came up to me on the last night and said he had to go but here, have this 2 grams of MDMA so I shared it with randoms, it was great, Is that the sort of thing you mean ?

[@leighmonty13]

Surprised they close the bar and food so early your litrley a captive audience they could make a bundle

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I know

[@jameskelvin85]

Hey Tim. We’re regular viewers of your videos. How about a tour of Beamish or Black Country museum? I visited these attractions as a child and remember them very fondly - I would love to see you and your little family do a video of these. How about it? Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks for the tip

[@judybee]

You always make me smile....A shipping container? Oh myCan't wait to see where get to stay next! You must be running out of choices of ''strange places to stay overnight'' by now surely?!!! Not sure I could do a room without any windows again...I did once, in a back street B & B in Blackpool opposite a windowless toilet & bathroom too. I couldn't wait to get out to see the daylight again!!!😵‍💫🌞Great video again Tim x J x

Thanks J

[@bolllochead]

We have stayed there and loved every minute of it.

Hi Tim what an excellent video and I really enjoyed seeing a Shipping Container Hotel Room where you spent the night and what an awesome hotel. . I have really enjoy seeing you make videos of different types of hotels you stay at.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it bobby

[@robertofraser101]

I never been too theme parks really but all in all the stay and extras seems a fair enough good enough deal

[@Me-wk3ix]

If you're a family with small kids that are really about the theme park, this is pretty basic but seems like it would fit bill.

[@yvonneatkins7386]

Interesting thanks Tim great video yes very compact look forward to the next Yvonne 😊

[@themepark_united]

The shark cabins are great. Everything you need!

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Tim. Liked the room. If you had Gaby and family with you it would be worth the price especially as it includes free tickets for two days to the park.

[@ryanterry6547]

Well I live 5 mins away from Thorpe park and been to here sooooooo many times and never knew had hotel or containers to sleep in should I say

[@acewalsall9294]

do they have anywhere to store car doors?

First day back at work after my holiday, sleeping in at work, but there is a Tim video!!!

£159 per person that is too , not by room. I thought amazing price untill I just went to book it and came up to 522 for 4 of us 😂

[@Pebblesmistwalker]

We went, two days in the park, free breakie, free parking and an hours fast pass on the second day , worked out cheaper than a day ticket!

[@kevinmulligan6858]

Hi Tim, another informative video .. Sorry but i wanted to thank you for the brilliant videos you and Gaby do and also to say a massive thank you because my son and i are off to Potters at Hopton on Sea on Fri 7th July after seeing your tour of it back in Jan. Without your visit we would never have known of it`s existence. I have been watching both Gaby and you together and find that your interaction with each other is so entertaining . Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Oh Tim please do a video on the theme park!!! Would love to see it, especially after your Terra Mitica video!! HUGE FAN ❤😊

[@melinda_coffee_nerd]

Nice video. I’m in Florida and some of our major theme parks have some nice perks when you stay at their hotels (but you’re definitely paying a premium!). The first time I learned about this park hotel was watching a video posted by the Forgetful Dad, who posted a video of himself & family staying there. Definitely looks like a neat place to visit! Yet again, another fun video by you!

Please can you go to what used to be the Chocolate boutique hotel in Bournemouth? It’s had new owners in the last few years so it would be intriguing to see how they have changed it

[@itzswifty3635]

Some of the Shark Cabins now have turned to Swarm Cabin which is all themed around The Swarm. Stayed at Shark Cabins last year what you get with the stay is good for the price but in the evening is kinda doll as can't do nothing just sit out side or play some arcade games

[@gemmalyons7744]

Great video, I’m not sure I would stay here though as I’d find it too small. We are staying at Alton towers hotel next month for my son’s birthday.

[@redcoatryan3079]

I haven't been to Thorpe Park for a long time.

[@Bungle2010]

Neither have I. I remember going once or twice with my primary school, and then later with my brothers when I was (I think) 21. I was 21 in 1994......

[@pav504]

Hotel looks amazing such a cosy room and fantastic they got AC cos most hotels they don't and thats ridiculous during summer. I would stay there for sure hygiene looked great. Ummm but only thing is for one night 1 person £159 for me is a little on the pricey side but I mean thorpe park is lovely even when it's empty still looked cool. Also yeah if the music was playing in an empty theme park like that then I would have found it creepy lol. Thanks for sharing Tim 👍

[@rebelalliance1074]

I'd like to see what cheap 5-star hotels are like. As an example, the Hotel Ickale in Ankara claims to have rooms for 55 Euros.

I might get cabin fever in those containers and just a bit too cosy even with family members. Only good for a family of 4 too unless they have bigger ones! Perfect for young single people visiting the park for a few days though!!

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Tim,for the money it looks good,the container is big enough for a family but for myself I have the double bed lol.maybe it would be noisy wehn the park is open.

[@christophergoff36]

Apart from the glass panel on the door, with no window, it seemed very claustrophobic, I got prison vibes with it and not the luxury one you stayed in. A shame you didn't get to sample the rides in the day.

[@smokeybeats]

looks a lot like a HMP , the blue is almost the exact blue they use in the cells lol

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yikes

[@deancrouch5267]

We stayed there last week and booked breakfast at 8.00. Overall it was very good, you can eat as much as you want. The only thing was the sausages could have been better as not much flavour. The staff were friendly and showed us in and asked us where we want to sit, oh and the coffee was very good had a cappuccino and a latte. For our experience I have to give it 4 out of 5. It was much better than I was expecting.😊

[@emmaharris4036]

Hi Tim, we as a family of four stayed at the shark hotel when it first opened. Hotel was lovely and we stayed when it was a late summer night opening at the theme park. So by the time we had finished at the park, eaten and showered we went straight to bed. If it wasn’t for the late night opening of the theme park I agree nothing to do on the evening. Breakfast was included for the morning but we didn’t really rate it. Overall very good but food not so good. Thanks

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks for watching Emma

[@donnap8889]

Not a bad little room Tim and price is good with the park tickets x

[@JKGuitar]

Stayed in one of these a couple of years ago. Really they only 'fit' 2 people. We had 3 adults and it was a tight squeeze. 2 adults and 2 children would be manic.

[@tanjamaleckilubbersen]

[@MrGreatplum]

£159 is not bad with the two days of tickets etc. It’s basic, but it does the job! Have you thought about one of the “safari” type places you can stay at a zoo such as the ones at Port Lympne in Kent? That would be amazing with the family :)

[@phil1980a]

I don't see the appeal of staying in a room with no window and not much to do in what looked like a very claustrophobic box. Price though didn't seem too bad with entry tickets and breakfast included but not somewhere I could stay. Perhaps the room would have been better without the bunk beds being made as looked like the top one was on a gas strut so foldable when not needed.

[@pcradiopresenter]

Hey Tim. In this video, you need to take a still of the skyline at 1min 27sec, as this shows just SAW and no Hyperia. Then you can superimpose the two together with before and after shots

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Awesome video! I did a review & video about a year back on it! As a theme park enthusiast i was very honest! If you get a deal id say its pretty good for a night! Sometimes they do night quizes which is fun! I gotta say I enjoyed it there & are now there are themed ones for the rides! Id stay again although its a bit claustrophobic😊
