THORPE PARK New Coaster PLANS!

[@Thrillz_vr-4]

Quite cool looking back today, the fact how we thought it wasn’t going to get built back then and seeing track and supports in Old Town today. Goosebumps

[@acidalex420]

has so much potential. that drop would easily be the best in the world. but the length just ruins this rides appeal. it seems like it ends halfway through a full layout :( but at least its something lol.

[@BigBrainLeeB]

So cool to hear about Thorpe’s next coaster, hope it comes true

[@olibrown2182]

Looks way to short, I think Thorpe could I done a lot better. If they used more of the area behind swarm island. And then start to develop the loggers leap site with, some more flat rides as well. Or if they still use the loggers leap slight, they should be using more of the loggers route, as they have mostly taken over the most of Old Town, as their is so much more space they could of used to make a bigger coaster in my opinion. The space would of been a perfect RMC route, in regards to going around the trees, and to theme it to possible the creek freel saw mill.

[@scruffylooker]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@altonalex1235]

I agree 100% looks too short at the minute, all they do is record height and then dont worry about the ride

[@KosmikGamer]

It seems to be very space constrained. It seems a waste though considering how short it will be especially considering the height with the 10+ year wait by the time it arrives, was expecting a much longer track. It feels like a gimmick tick box - new coaster, tallest in UK, done.

[@mr.intamin1081]

100%

[@JAXXNCREATED]

this 100% wont be the final design

[@HarryBoSweets]

It opened up at 10:00 am, going in only knowing they were planning the tallest. Was not disappointed! Also, the length doesn’t mean it can’t be a good ride. Look at Stealth and Oblivion, I always find them worth the wait.

[@bellax5377]

oh yeah same

[@williambullock82]

wayyyyyy too short.... not pleased at all right now. Trust thorpe to have such a great opportunity to make an awesome coaster and yet again ruin it because of how short it is. The swarm is a great example of this it could have been a lot better if the ride was extended past the in-line twist.

[@jameskean8489]

I live in Staines it's always fun watching the building process on the way to and from work

[@CoasterB]

I don’t know how I feel about this. Where’s the length and the airtime? I was expecting a UK Hyperion. This looks cool but it’s just so short, and that’s my problem with the swarm and stealth

[@jacobjimenez-perry8631]

Loving the daily updates!🙌

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

Great video and coverage Jack! Looking forward to your rendering of this coaster and more videos on the progress of Project Exodus (and all of your other theme park related content). Awesome job as always, keep up the good work!!

[@Vinylbasher]

Great video as always. The layout is giving me Sheikra at Busch Gardens vibe but with a twisted first drop.

[@lancehutch]

NL2 recreation in the works :)

[@goblinwoblin7820]

mad to see how everyone was calling this layout disappointing before we came to grips with how insane the elements are.

[@itsnotreuben9381]

kinda not too exited anymore. idk. looks a bit to short 😔

[@Hangtimecentral295]

not short at all

[@RyanGriffLauren]

Amazing

[@MONEY_MINDSET15]

Creek Freek has had such a short time in the park if it gets thrown away I will be very sad as it’s my favourite maze ever😰

[@JarJarBlue25]

Share a lot of the opinions of everyone else rather disapointed about the coasters length. Looks like it would have the speed to go on for much longer which is annoying. However, from those artist images I think the overbank isn't an overbank and is instead an outerbank. If this is the case it could be a hell of an element especially with the speed it could be taking it at.

[@ehsbe1056]

It is definitely an outer bank, you can see how it banks and twists out on the birds-eye plan, if the drop twists halfway down the drop it would basically be expedition GeForce on steroids, I’m excited about it. (Up the spurs btw)

[@tomitankengine]

It looks VERY short. The length is one of the things I didn't like about the swarm and this looks even shorter than that. I'm a bit disappointed tbh. I wonder if they might consider making it longer if a lot of people mention it on their 'Have Your Say' section of the website.

[@Hangtimecentral295]

best ride out there

[@pollutingpenguin2146]

I am so underwhelmed. This is such a cop out to get the height title. Another coaster with MORE inversions? Seriously? Whoever runs this park should be fired.

[@Hangtimecentral295]

this ride defo dont dissapoint bro if ur still alive

[@CoasterChallYT]

Gets better everyday we know a coaster is coming... I'm banking on this being a Mack Hyper in my opinion but could be Intamin

[@bigredvlogs1928]

To me, it reminds me of mumbo jumbo at flamingo land with the curves. Maybe where platform was, maybe creak freak can go there

[@chanelclothes]

We need to keep in mind, this is only an idea that Thorpe have put through. This layout could change because of community views. I’m sure this won’t be the final Layout

[@DNTLKDWN]

well well well

[@dylancunliffe9736]

Also when and if that paramount park is built you know they are going to take the record straight off them

[@ehsbe1056]

That twisted drop and outer banked turnaround, depending on shaping, could be two of the best elements on any coaster worldwide

[@mr.intamin1081]

LOOOIL this coaster ain’t even top 50 hahhaha

[@ehsbe1056]

@@mr.intamin1081 never said it was, just said some of the elements look like they could be absolutely nuts, come on a 90° outerbanked hammerhead turnaround with an inversion pull-out would be simply sensational to ride

[@millynewman693]

I went to my first ever fright nights this year and i loved it. Platform was very good and i am quite sad i'll never ride it again however, the ended platform and not creak freak. This may be me just getting excited but could they potentially use platforms old route (sort of) for an outdoor version of creak freak..? You mentioned that the route well mainly the beginning wasn't used for the rollercoaster, and they didn't end creak freak. Either way i'm very excited for the future!

[@liamhall-hicks3079]

Yes mate

[@petermc7098]

Hello There, this looks like a great investment, thank you for going into Depth, hopefully they may revise their plans with regards to the length of the Ride. Cheers Peter :-) p.s. if they go for 4 seater row trains it could have a really decent throughout.

[@86wellacre]

The Big One at Blackpool would still be pulling its weight after all these years. Because it’s a longer ride, that’s too short.

[@Kyle-Russell]

I can’t wait to find out more about the theming as I think it will be good by to old town and it’s theme

[@Benlovescheese]

Well they confirmed the name of Exodus (10:53)

[@BenRhysWilliams]

I live about 5 mins away from Thorpe I cannot wait for this new ride 😝

[@markusfreestyle7837]

Obviously the length is a letdown but it does seem to be a very unique hyper coaster (which it wouldn’t be if it was a b&m hyper) also the elements look crazy, this ride will pack a punch.

[@taycol362]

A few KZbinrs have made a no limits already

[@kieranminihane8355]

Looking at the layout, it looks to be right-side embarking, with left-side exit, meaning that the thick path separated is exit leading into photo kiosk. From the three vertical paths connecting to the plaza, it looks like the left one is the main queue, leaving two more. The central one links with the left hand one just before climbing the stairs to the station so is probably fast-track, with the right one having no stairs (must be a ramp) indicating disabled queue. That's my interpretation at least!

[@stevencoole9511]

The images look similar to KÄRNAN at hansa park in Germany

[@fishbowlman1460]

It looks too short but apart from that I’m insanely hyped

[@callumrymer3046]

Really quite disappointed. Merlin once again building the bare minimum to keep parks ticking over. I have no problem having a shorter coaster if the layout/type demands it, but Thorpe really needs that one stand-out/must ride attraction and not another B-ranked coaster, especially when doing a Hyper. We already have one of the worst hypers in the world...we really don’t need 2! If they focus more on making the best coaster possible word of mouth will not just increase attendance for a few years but keep people coming back beyond that. No coaster in the UK has had that effect successfully since Nemesis, a short ride but still arguably the best in the country, and that’s embarrassing!

[@hacwoolls5467]

This will be a great ride likely best at the park maybe UK. Although you cannot deny it’s short need another lap around the structure which would keep small footprint and offer more airtime moments/ inversions

[@callumrymer3046]

I think it’s also important to remember that if the London Resort is built and opens at a similar time that this current mock-up of the layout is simply not impressive enough to poach visitors from further afield visiting the resort to take a trip to ride it. This is a go big or go home scenario.

[@andrewbarrett42]

I agree everything you said there,I,m very disapointed too,I wanted A Hyper coaster too something like Shambhala or Fury 305.Nemesis is the only world class coaster here the UK,I take it you were refering to the big one blackpool as the worst hyper.

[@callumrymer3046]

Absolutely! Whilst I wasn’t expecting a Fury or an Intimidator I did think a longer ride was on the cards. This just looks like a taller hybrid version of a coaster Thorpe already has (Saw and Stealth). Yeah The Big One has an above average first drop and then monorails the rest. This looks to be doing barely much more than that😬

[@liamhall-hicks3079]

Really good mate yes mate do more videos update

[@willshimmons6516]

it looks alright

[@kieranminihane8355]

5 key points after collecting my thoughts: 1. Looks like fast-track queue (middle path connecting to the plaza) merges REALLY close to the station. Not good news for queue-equity if they keep merging fast-tracks that close to the ride, unlike something like Colossus/Saw/Nemesis where they still have to queue. Thorpe Park is terrible at selling way too many fast-tracks 2. I was debating whether the third entrance is disabled or single-rider, and the deliberate lack of stairs where the others have them implies disabled queue. Awesome that people with disabilities get their own dedicated queue-line rather than being forced to go through the exit, looks like back-row will be for disabled 3. Sucks there's no single-rider queue though, I imagine it could cut a lot off the main queue and they had a completely blank canvas to work with :( 4. Long brake-run means hopefully we can get three trains running! 5. However, I don't know if this would really speed things up. It looks like the runtime is shorter than we could expect loadtime to be, so doesn't seem to warrant having another train sitting around waiting but not sure

[@djdeanomc]

Imagine if this is an AXIS Coaster! 😲

[@Thesmokercoaster]

I'm just waiting for the planco recreations to flood my recommended. Also ngl looks a bit short. I know it's just an initial design and that but still.

[@AdamHickman78]

I'd rather they scrap that idea and come up with something that looks world class, even if we have to wait another 2-3 years to get to this stage again. Whoever is in charge of ride hardware/additions in this park are not up to par or aware of what's on offer in other parks outside of the UK. Ghost Train (with a hard to market VR offering), Bouncilla, I'm a Celebrity, Black Mirror, Angry Birds Land are all very lacking. I still don't get the hype that Black Mirror seemed to have got. Possibly due to everybody getting a free night out. And now we have this....Thorpe was the only option in this country to go high and long and we get this? This will be a one and done ride at the park and will not attract sustained worldwide attention that they could have had. Put a world class coaster in your park and you basically get free advertising for years to come, look at Shambahla, Taron, Zadra etc. I was hoping for a large scale hyper, out and back and an airtime machine or an RMC, again an airtime machine. The UK needs airtime, not more compact coasters with inversions where half of the train at the end are struggling to keep their stomach in. Look at rides like Shambahla, in the brake run most of the people in the train are smiling and clapping because they really enjoyed it and their body hasn't been spun and gone upside down countless times. Coaster enthusiasts know what makes a good ride, the UK public don't because they don't know any different. We need to build it and they will come. Rant over! So frustrated that this opportunity has been wasted.

[@royalrecordings4307]

What is this thing? 😳

[@smith9808]

Disappointingly short. Very strange after those massive elements it hits the break run and not a block section.

[@Zelos2k]

Gutted really, I was hoping for a B&M hyper or a GCI like Wodan. Thorpe needed an airtime coaster which many have said already on here. This looks like a tall Gerstlauer layout. I'm still excited for it though. 😆

[@MikeBrackencov01]

Bit dissapointed in it to be honest i'm exited but the hype was built up to much.

[@MilitaryEditz12345]

OMMMG

[@freddiebond6395]

the picture seem like its gonna last 2 minutes they could add a little bit more in my opinion consider how tall its going to be

[@alexwashere6660]

does this mean something will happen with the slammer 🤭

[@jazzterry-short7998]

It looks to me the elements go, Steep twisted drop, Immelmann, High otter banked turn, dive loop, slash down, outter banked turn, air time hill.

[@beangibson4676]

I mean I’m like 60/40 it looks really good but obviously looks quite short but I think the drop and the huge elements in the ride could pick this ride up if it went ahead

[@matthewrobertson95]

Anyone else getting Steel Curtain vibes from the concept images?

[@thorpeparkroblox]

Looks great fun, but not worth the space as it's too short and you only get one airtime moment on there. Waste of space and doesn't look nice to look at - Adam

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Like you said it just looks to short probably a 30 second ride but they think it being tall is enough and extra length is extra cost to them

[@stevedurrell]

Do we know who the manufacturer is or will be or is this proposition from Thorpe Park themselves .... Odd to see them having concept art of a coaster completed.... Usually the manufacturer will do the Conceptual work... Looks very gerst-y or Mack 🤔 That said with the amount of intamin attractions at the park and looking at the support structures in the concept art..... Which is very similar to colossus' think intamin are involved!

[@twistedcoasters1533]

I think it will be 2023 as it’s not too long and some of the track is supported by the same structure so it wouldn’t take too long to build. I mean look at aireforce 1, a massive RMC hybrid opening next year and construction hasn’t begun yet

[@Benlovescheese]

Actually yeah that’s fair, if they do go for an RMC Hybrid like they did there, chances are they could get it done within a few months and open it for park vibes 2023.

[@markusfreestyle7837]

They could, but it’s unlikely, I wouldn’t go expecting 2023

[@dylancunliffe9736]

Looks way to short for a coaster with a lift hill that big should run round very fast

[@markymark-r]

Well all the hype about B&M hyper looks like time well spent. I think Merlin have missed an opportunity here. A B&M hyper similar to Mako or Shambhala would’ve been better. This looks a tad disappointing and too short. It’ll probably be brilliant. 😁

[@scruffylooker]

Is it me? Or does it look very short and bland??? Not what I was hoping for. And I really wanted a B&M hyper (or RMC).

[@harpy5677]

I’m slightly disappointed With the short layout, I really thought this ride would’ve put Thorpe on the map especially after the long wait however I’m still super excited and I really hope the theming makes up for the duration

[@coasterfest]

What do you mean 'woken up to see?' I was up hitting refresh for 3 hours before they dropped... You lazy sod haha

[@tomcroucher]

Majorly disappointed tbh. It looks so short! The UK is sooooo far behind the US in terms of ride quality

[@AdamHickman78]

Not just the US but Europe as well. Which is another reason why attendances are down because we just go elsewhere and will have to continue to do so.

[@liamhall-hicks3079]

Ok then

[@another_day4783]

look like a bit of a let down

[@danwhitaker8279]

Thorpe really had the opportunity to make a bigger and better Kondaa and came up with this hot mess

[@mr.intamin1081]

Short, not gonna be B&M …. Rip doesn’t look like the UK will get an ELITE ride. Zzzzzzzz…

[@mrhxrty]

Jack check your DMs My G

[@thegamingmonkey6405]

This is pggers

[@Ryanjeal]

Way to short

[@MarkMcCann1888]

Looks absolutely crap in my opinion. Another Merlin gimmick rather than actually building a quality coaster that would stand the test of time. Very disappointed….

[@cowpie2915]

Looks rather disappointing, basically Steel Curtain which opened in 2019...

[@tblkldg]

eh

[@Dannyjones1]

Please stop starting the videos like that... Please.

[@ThemeParkLuke]

Too short.
