[@Thatclimbingirl]

@@LiftHillsandThrills So annoying, I want the opening date along with information on ride access for hyperia.

[@carmenparker1880]

Cool ❤

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Very!

[@Stuntman707]

Park is looking great. Great toilet review, love the theming, the lighting, the immersion. I’m sure it will be great when you can hear the acoustics on opening day too!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

hahaha pride myself on my toilet reviews

[@coasterswithmwah]

Great vlog! Definitely warming to the logo now that its up with all of it's different colour schemes, big easy looks fun too great to see they've finally put some investment into the park, been along yime coming!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Agreed!

[@chrisbaete5842]

I did the afternoon tour and like you said it was excellent and worth the price. It was great seeing some long overdue TLC to the park and I am really excited for the 2024 season. Huge well done to Russ, Sam and the team for an excellent tour and all who have worked hard during the closed period, especially with such poor weather.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Absolutely spot on!

[@themeparkawesome3401]

Glad you had a good day at Thorpe. I was there yesterday for work business. Got to see a few bits myself very exciting. Hyperia looks massive up close inperson. Cant wait to see the Hyperia themed rooms when they get realised. Theres also Colossus rooms now. Big Easy Boulevard I cant wait to see very soon. The film in Sunset Cinema im really excited about now. Bring on the season.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Roll on 2024 season!

[@mattprimmer6042]

Was an awesome event Sean, and it was great to meet you and have a chat through out the day.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

And you Matt! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RideAndReelStudios]

Thorpe park is doing amazing this season!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They are!

[@jlhp]

Really exited to see all of the results of the Sparkle project, and of course Hyperia in just a few weeks!! Also cant wait for the Ready Player One Experience!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Same!!

[@SergieRachmaninoff]

Haven't really been into theme parks for a decade but man does it make me happy to see Merlin put some theme back into their theme parks. Hoping this is a sign of a brighter future.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I have high hopes it will be!

[@knightrider2738]

The new sparkle project at Thorpe park looks fantastic and a lot better than before

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Agreed!

[@pyrobundy]

Did they over order on the colossus paint colour as they’ve used it all over the entrance areas? It’s all looking really nice and fresh. Love the refreshed stealth area. It’s a few big steps in the right direction for Thorpe.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It's really coming along wonderfully

[@CatsnCoasters]

Parks looking fresh from what you were able to capture. Stealth Station & Colossus especially. 👌

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Absolutely!

[@daveelphick2485]

Great blog mate did they have swarm and stealth huddies 👍👍🙂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They did!

[@daveelphick2485]

Aww great did they look good 👍

[@daveelphick2485]

I am going on 20 th April can’t wait 😛

[@COPPERCATZ]

Great vid dude loved all the updates !!!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks for checking it out

[@thisisjustanchannel]

Dude I literally saw the colossus sign. I honestly wasn't expecting those colours.( it does still look good.)

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

haha it's an eye-catcher!

[@thisisjustanchannel]

It sure is to say the least.

[@ThorpeJack]

so sad i couldnt get tickets, hope you had an awesome time, thanks for the awesome shots of the sparkle project

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

My absolute pleasure

[@InversionAndImmersion]

Love the way stealth is looking! Gutted I couldn’t get a ticket

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They sold out ever so quick!

[@InversionAndImmersion]

@@LiftHillsandThrills yeah I saw would of met you aswell extra bonus ha hopefully catch you in the park this season

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@InversionAndImmersion That's NEVER worth the price of admission haha hopefully so!

[@TobysTrains]

Am I the only one worried that Big East Boulevard and Samurai won’t be ready for opening day?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Big Easy will be, Samurai just needs a lick of paint but depends how long something like that takes, the ground etc has all been painted

[@sampenny1199]

It does seem to be rather tight with timings! I hope it’s ready

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@sampenny1199 It will be very tight!

[@pervinmervin]

[@attractionshubno1]

Great video Sean

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@attractionshubno1]

@@LiftHillsandThrills I sure did enjoy it

[@PenandpaperFinlay]

Did they say if the advert panels on the que to stealth will be continued to be added? and colossus looks good but definitely incomplete especially the little things like the axis being painted but not on the side that you saw walking up so it just still looks run down until you walk past them

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They're aiming to do more work on it this winter but no confirmation just hopeful thinking at this stage

[@carlrobinson4843]

Looks like they have really made a big effort ,hopefully the yobs don’t damage the place

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Hopefully not! They said their reporting system for graffiti etc came in handy last season and they were able to tackle issues quicker, let's hope they can clamp down on it as there are some absolute idiots around

[@matt64allison]

I love the fact Thorpe park are always replacing their menus & food units, I wish Alton towers would do that more often

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I'm sure they will over time

[@InsaneCoaster]

I wasn't aware until very recently these tours were happening! I can remember operating Swarm the other day and just seeing a massive crowd of people descend on the island (presumably one of these tours) on one of the CCTV monitors and wondering what was happening 😭

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

First day of the VIP tours today that’ll be a certain website or two who posted about the park but it didn’t really get much engagement 😔

[@InsaneCoaster]

@LiftHillsandThrills Ah yeah must've been a different group to these tours then (I think I'm remembering Attraction Source)! It's pretty cool having these tours, perhaps in the future they'll have events like Cedar Point's Winter Chillout.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@InsaneCoaster That would be great!

[@LLLLLLLLLucas]

Did they clean the restraints on Nemi Inferno?? They were revolting when i rode last year...

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Didn’t see the trains it started testing when we were miles away

[@GarryWilliams555]

Now that Colossus looks so good, it's time to get new trains so 6 footers like me can ride comfortably lol

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Oooo yes haha

[@SuperZabat]

Should deffo have split the toilet tour out into a separate vlog. Would've gone viral

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

haha for sure! Top quality content

[@TheAttractionHub]

Nice V-log for a rainy Sunday afternoon 👍 , also did they base that sweet shop on the wonka experience 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

At the moment... yes... yes they did aha

[@Leftpeg8379]

That poor lad on top of detonator, gone too soon. He got launched into orbit as soon as it dropped!!

[@ThorpeParkResortClubRoblox]

Has the mural changed by ghost train and will it change also what’s the staff uniform like?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Staff uniform is smart and I know we walked near it but I can't recall if it was still there I'm sorry

[@ThorpeParkResortClubRoblox]

I feel that you need to start doing theme park toilet review vlogs from now on🤣🤣

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

First and last time I'll be wandering into a girls toilet haha

[@thephantomfantasia]

Stealth and hyperia are now tallest in the park

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

🤘

[@andyhanson7963]

Maybe they could replace the Black Mirror Labyrinth with the Unknown.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Or a flat? Either/or is fine

They went SO quick!

@@Skilzee31 haha yessss

[@themepark_united]

Great video mate! Still think the project should be called Project half a job

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

haha not at all, they're doing a good job at sprucing the place up, Hyperia (for me) feels a little like that but knowing its a Varney project makes complete sense. Hopefully it''ll change in future and the trains are set to be damn sleek!

[@themepark_united]

@LiftHillsandThrills I can't agree personally if this is a sparkle project the bar is very low indeed for UK parks 😂 the video was great none the less. More toliet reviews please haha

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@themepark_united They're sprucing the park up that's all that matters :) they can't go to Europa Park levels and dig everything up and replace from scratch... what they do is absolutely insane but hats off to them... their park is beautiful

[@panavexx8144]

Who looking forward to the film in the cinema (never would think they would have this film in Thorpe park lol) vr anyone?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

A small snippet of the film but it'll be an immersive experience for sure!

I feel like they really overdid Big East with the concept art. In person it looks a lot more basic which is a shame.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Concept art is better than the real thing, I agree
