You better keep up to speed with what is happening in the Middle East young man. You may not find yourself welcome in Turkey if war breaks out. Which seems HIGHLY likely. The Turkish president is extremely angry at the Israeli's for what they have done to the Palestinians as it is. And provoking the Iranians is only going to further his animosity.

An American Jew (whose country has enabled a gen ocide?) may find himself in a heap of trouble just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@JorenDeCoster-t1u]

Maybe a recommendation: Pairi Daiza. It's a big zoo in between Plopsaland and Walibi Belgium. It is very beautiful

[@maxaaron5618]

It's great to see enthusiasts from overseas who are as excited about visiting my local park as you are. It's a nice park, and it really fell behind in the years following The Swarm's installation. Up until now, Thorpe Park has only really been a park with support coasters. Finally with the introduction of Hyperia, Thorpe and the UK finally has its signature coaster.

[@BlueZirnitra]

Spot on. I always felt like its missing the main ingredient. All the rides are good but leave you wanting something that makes you go WOW. I mean, Detonator makes me go wow, Tidal wave makes me go wow and crack into hysterics, but thats not the same as a world class coaster that blows your jaded mind.

[@Tasouz]

Totally agree another local here 😅

[@TheKnexMaker]

its so cool to see americans saying so much good stuff about thorpe park. its my local and I love it

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Hyperia does have some of the best elements of any coaster. I’ll watch this in full when I can, and I’m super excited for your Alton Towers videos.

[@RJE48]

ONE TIP FOR ALTON TOWERS: The park is massive! Plan your day, if your not careful you can spend all of your time walking around the park rather than being on the rides. I also believe the sky ride is closed which is a transportation ride around the park. Also try not to get lost in the gardens within the valley on the way from the one side to the other! Also because Alton towers is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Alton towers cannot build any rides above the treeline. This makes for some very unique roller coasters that are low down but world class.

[@al81yoo]

2 days for Alton Towers 😊

[@airesjr11]

That ride op sending you guys again is unironically the best advertisement ever, Thorpe park is officially at the top of my bucket list because of that lol

[@Awrybobiman-f4l]

ngl the new inro music goes HARD. I mean it did already, but i love this one so much too! Your vlogs are so good, and your my favorite coaster youtuber

[@CoasterDash]

I appreciate the comment 🙌🏻

[@rideexpedition]

As a brit, Thorpe has definitely become our best park within the past few years. Theyre operations are incredible, the maintenance team are arguably the best in any park, the coasters are great and the park really improved on everything. Towers used to be our #1 but Thorpe is hitting different recently. Glad to see you enjoyed Thorpe, waiting to see what your thoughts on Towers are now 😅

[@louie9305]

Sorry but I cannot understand how anyone can say Thorpe park is better than towers. Unless you a fat sh*t and hate walking or care more for flat rides, Towers wipes the floor in every other way. Maybe because I’ve been to Thorpe park more times than I have towers (still been to towers around 10 times) my opinion is swayed but I don’t know, personally it makes no sense.

[@Shane44]

I think you are now the 4th American vloggger (I might of missed more) that have come over here since Hyperia has opened. Never had that many American vlogggers in a whole season let alone a few months before. Hyperia is drawing in the world. LLLFFFGGG

[@xzqrut]

New Intro for Europe 24!! So excited these VLOGS are rolling out!!

[@coasterconfusion305]

That last train experience on hyperia looks unreal

[@chazgames3690]

I got the golden seat ( back row, right seat ) and the lateral forces and weightlessness is absurd

[@AirtimeProductions]

Those Hyperia reactions are priceless! It motivates me that much more to ride it right now

@@AirtimeProductions It’s really worth it!

[@kayleycox4191]

I went to Carowinds for the very first time back in March (2024) and we got 17 laps on Fury, 5 of them being at the end of the night, back to back to back to back, not even having to leave the train, got the very last ride of the night. It was awesome! The ride ops there were absolutely amazing and had so much energy! Absolutely enhanced the ride experience for us! It was a crazy experience!!

[@Themeparkthrills1995]

I’m glad you guys loved Hyperia great to see theme park enthusiasts from overseas coming over to try this incredible ride

[@beneditsx]

This Europe trip is looking insane

[@morganmcmahon3021]

This intro🙌🏻 Dang Hyperia looks absolutely incredible, the hangtime stall or it almost looks like a zero g stall is probably my favorite element from just watching the POVs and I’m sure the lap bar accentuates each element even more. And 이 롤러 코스터 는 진 짜 빨라요 ! (This roller coaster is really fast!) Very nice of them to let you ride it again! Glad everyone is enjoying the UK so far😄🇬🇧🫰🏻

[@Treasurehuntingwithtomandmarie]

Honestly this video made me smile so much. I worked at Thorpe park for 2 seasons and this really brought me some happy memories! We always used to let people have another ride if they wanted on the last train or cycle! It definitely adds to the experience and what is an extra 2 minutes to your day! I’m so glad you loved this park so much. I was on the original team that worked on stealth so she is always going to be my favourite. Great video guys, I will be checking out all your others!

[@CaptainAtria]

New intro music goes crazy! So excited for this journey

I went on hyperia a couple weeks ago and left the park at 6 for an 1hr 30mins drive home and yet, I still couldn’t sleep from the amount of adrenaline. This ride is crazy!

When I took my daughter and her friend to Thorpe Park I bought them fast passes and they let them use them over and over instead of just once for each ride. Pretty cool park overall

[@michael7054]

Great video! I didnt expect a European Vlog this soon! Hyperia looked awesome! I liked the theming on Swarm and Saw the Ride a lot as well as their names. Stealth reminded me of Kingda Ka or Top Thrill Dragster with the short layout! I really enjoyed watching this! Im looking forward to the Vlogs coming up!

You're so lucky having done Hyperia!! Personally I travelled all the way to the UK to ride Hyperia only to see it closed because it rollbacked that day and now I'm not sure if I can even get back to this place at one point in my life😭😭

[@laurenh6668]

Such a shame you couldn't get on Colossus! It's my fave along with Swarm... sure its rough, but that corkscrew is fiiiire. I haven't been since Hyperia opened, but I can't wait to try it now! Also great customer service from the park, even when I was a kid I remember them sending us round multiple times on a ride just before the park closed. Amazing experience! 👏 Loved this vid

Thorpe Park has a great collection of thrill rides, even before Hyperia opened. Back then Swarm had the last row facing backwards which was unbelievably intense.

[@danielward4868]

Hyperia ran SO fast on that POV! I don't remember it running that fast when I rode it

[@Troy-jc2ko]

Easily the best ops I’ve seen. Not only did they try getting Colossus up and running all day, but that dude who was running Hyperia is a true legend. Every other place, would have called it a night. Man, I have got to get over to the UK. On a side note, I hate Steakth simply because it replaced Model World and it doesn’t help that it’s a Kingda Ka clone.

[@ElliotConnolly-dt5li]

It’s not a king da is clone if it was built first.

Europa Park has the best operations of any park for sure

[@ThrillsandForces]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the park! Not being able to get on Colossus gives you a good reason to come back. In my opinion, it’s a great coaster on the front row!

[@Naygoesmoo]

Colossus is a walking headache. I loved it but hated the aftermath. Definitely a end of the day coaster :)

[@alexlove280]

I just KNEW you would find The Swarm a standout B+M wing coaster. I'd only ever been on Gatekeeper and I was like, meh. But The Swarm was like WOW, and I rode it over and over and over when I was there back in 2018. Now with Hyperia I have to get my butt back back across the pond from Toronto to ride it one day soon. Maybe next summer! Thanks for this trip report.

[@christopherjones8096]

I’ve been getting excited about rollercoasters after not really going for a long while and this whole video of you experiencing my home park for the first time gave me a great feeling! I’m going back to Thorpe to ride Hyperia for the first time at the end of the month (I skipped the POVs, sorry!), and you got me so excited for this experience. Enjoy the rest of your Europe trip! 😁

[@christopherjones8096]

Bit of an update to anyone who reads this, went to Thorpe yesterday and Hyperia really is that good. I cannot believe that the UK now has a coaster like this, it’s damn near perfect. The drop is phenomenal and the outer bank, well I’ve never experienced anything like it it’s just joyous.

[@smaz9]

Marc you made it! Hope you had a fantastic time, the UK now has a stand out ride for once!

[@MatthewRambles]

I’ve only discovered your channel recently, I love your laid back style. Thorpe Park is great, I’ve only been twice but absolutely love Stealth. Will be back in October to do Hyperia, I guess it’s pretty good 😬

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks for watching! Hyperia is INSANE.

[@deborahgodfrey6171]

I love watching you guys! I’m so glad you’re so enthusiastic about our brilliant Thorpe Park. So happy you got to ride Hyperia “ONE MORE TIME!” 😂. I wish I did, I had to queue up for 90 mins but it was so worth it dude! Shame you didn’t get to experience Colossus. It’s a great ride, a bit rough but the air time fab and the corkscrew is so much fun. My first ride of the park was Stealth OMG! It was just phenomenal! Unfortunately, due to queuing times, I didn’t get to ride Saw 😭and so wish I had😢. Maybe next time. Keep making your videos, I love watching you all and hearing them screams 😂. Thank you guys ❤❤

We have Shocktoberfest and some other scare fest events around the country that is quite intense. Also, Thorpe Park’s Fright Nights are awesome too, but nowadays it is too expensive to get tickets that include all the mazes, still an amazing Halloween event.

[@chrissyboi88b]

I used to go to school just down the road so I got a season pass, I used go in for a couple of hours almost everyday after school, I can't tell you how many times I rode colosos, it is pretty good so I don't understand the negativity surrounding it. It's been years since I've been there so I'm looking forward to trying the new rides. I'd never experienced a ride that was closed in all my times going. When I finished school I worked literally across the road from it on the marina (the biggest inland marina in Europe) and all day long I could hear the screams and click clacking of the coasters.

Colossus is the world’s first 10 inversion rollercoaster. When you go up to Alton towers. The smiler has 14, the current record holder. You also didn’t go, from what I saw. On the walking dead ride. Back in the day an indoor in the dark backwards Vekoma. It’s still mostly in the dark in this, its third iteration. The second iteration changed it to front facing.

[@nataliehoughton1909]

Thorpe park are amazing for letting you ride twice! I remember going for halloween fright night and when I was on Nemesis they made us go round again we had no choice! 😂 It was great!

[@Rollercoaster_Madness]

Wow i was there the same day lol, glad you enjoyed Hyperia, definitely the best ride in the country

[@CoasterEverything]

The shortest thrill invert (by height) is actually Nemesis at Alton Towers in England, too, followed by Black Mamba at Phantasialand in Germany, Nemesis Inferno is 98ft tall 👌

[@dhevbhogal7059]

By height yes nemesis is the shortest at around 40ft, but from the top of the lift hill to the base of the loop it’s around 104ft I believe, making it slightly taller than inferno

[@CoasterEverything]

@@dhevbhogal7059 yes but regardless I’m talking about height of lift hill

[@WizardTSM]

Dw you missed nothing with colossus. It’s all bark no bite and is unbearably rough in the back. Glad you loved Hyperia though it’s such a shock to have it so close to home!

[@StepsOfStPhilips]

You’re my favourite coaster blogger because you don’t go with the hive mind and have genuine, personal reactions to coasters - including some coasters that don’t have a great reputation. Went on Hyperia for the first time today. Rode in row 6, 8, 6 again and then 7. First ride in the morning was best. The other three rides were uncomfortably rattly. Despite the height and the speed, it didn’t feel a transcendent experience in the way The Ride to Happiness was (and I’m off to Plopsa again later this month).

[@calvinpetty343]

After being in Blackpool for the first time in 10 years and not being able to get on much i am so pumped to save some cash and go round the UK amusement parks.

I do think that Thorpe park lacks on theming. If it had more theming, the park would be much more enjoyable. They should take tips from Alton towers theming.

Fire intro 🔥

[@DJWezzyK]

The reason Stealth has smoke, is to cool down the Hydraulic launch cable. And you got Lucky Stealth did operate. That ride is more SBNO. When it rains it closes or when the wind is too hard, it also closes. When I was there Stealth only operated for 3 hours each day and the rest of the day it was closed. So consider yourself lucky.

[@teddysmastervideos5270]

I hope you had a great time👍!

[@EmeraldIV]

theyve been known to send the final train of the day up to 3 times back to back lol - when i went around a month ago i just missed out on getting the last train experience since they closed the queue late however it certainly did not disappoint!

[@benjaminalston8884]

Can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a coaster KZbin channel where someone is genuinely enjoying themselves and not coming off rides to then dissect the coaster to the nth degree. Coaster thoosies can be truly terrible for their nitpicking, so it’s nice to see someone come off Saw and just say “yeah it’s rough, great layout though” (it is rough lmao) and that be it, none of this “the RESTRAINTS on there. TERRIBLE ride. It’s not aged well!” blah blah blah. Most regular coaster riders wouldn’t even care. Keep it up 👍🏼

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

As someone who did get on Colossus, I found the heartline rolls to be uncomfortable and while they’re fun to laugh at, they’re just objectively bad elements. It’s probably the weakest of the 6 main coasters (I didn’t get on the B&Ms), so I’m happy that’s the one you missed if their had to be one.

[@DylanJThelwell]

The best seat on Saw is generally back row in one of the middle seats, as it is least rough there. Back row is always better than front on Saw, less rough.

[@kymscates2892]

I did back middle to the left side and got squirted with water from the fake dead body 😂 hit me right in the eye like someone squirted a bottle at me in one spot 😂 I was so confused because no one else got hit so I asked when I got off the ride just incase it was something else other than water haha

[@Nickevans1234]

8:38 I’m so happy that someone else agrees that Hyperion is short but sweet. I don’t think it’s the full package but it looks very promising

[@ThemeParkLuke]

Back row on Hyperia is literally 10x crazier on the first drop than the middle or front so it's a shame you didn't get to experience that but cool video man, so glad to see you enjoying one of the best parks we have here in the UK... You'll prefer Alton Towers though, no doubt!

[@CoasterDash]

@@ThemeParkLuke I actually got to try Hyperia in the back off camera. That drop is no joke!

Am going to Thorpe, Alton and Plopsaland next month. Quick questions: 1) Staines station to Thorpe. Best to take an Uber from the station to the park? 2) Alton Towers - Stoke On Kent station. Uber to park as well? 3) Do all the parks operate their rides in the rain? (I know winds and lightning could shut them down) Thanks for your great great videos.
