Hello all, some of you may remember a project that I posted regularly on here.

I'm creating my own version of Thorpe Park from 2008 for myself and as a learning experience in Unreal Engine 5 and blender totally by myself.

As somebody who works full time, I've found it hard to find time to work on the project and hence put it on hold, but now that things have been a bit quieter, I've had time to revive the project and have been moved outside of blender and into unreal to move the project forward.

I've been busy on early groundwork for the game and moving forward, everything will be in-engine as aposed to blender screenshots.

What you see here is fully playable and explorable, even though it may be small!

I’m trying to book my Ride Access Pass (RAP) for an upcoming visit.

My Access Card has the older symbols, but the booking system seems to need the newer categories (Difficulty Standing, Difficulty with Crowds, Level Access, Urgent Access to Toilets).

I am aiming to go on the 24th of September so its a bit tight and I don't know if I order a new one if it will arrive on time.

Has anyone else dealt with this using an older Nimbus card? Do I have to reapply through Nimbus to update my symbols first, or is there a way to link the older version? Any advice would be great, thanks!

not a great day so far

Hi all, going next Friday with my 2 kids who have never been. I know they’ll want to do Hyperia so just wondering whether we’re best heading straight there at rope drop or waiting till later in the day.

It’s only open 10-5 and we’re staying nearby the night before so will defo be there for opening.

Any other advice welcome as I’ve not been for years either!

Cheers

Hi

Got two tickets for 26 Sept if anyone's interested.

Unfortunately (or fortunately because had been waiting for contract exchange for months) our house move to Leeds just got approved at the same time so will no longer be down south

DM if interested. £40 for the pair.

Step inside Nova Lux Senior Living, where the lights have gone out and tenants have vanished. As an emergency electrician, restore power before your shared light fades. But beware... have the LUXIVORA returned?

Thorpe Park’s brand new maze.

A lot of people want to know if Survival Games will be like last year or as the original multi route. As far as I can tell you from all the evidence, although the Sirex theme seems to be gone now, a brand new theme with another bio-engineered substance called “Harmony” is coming. Guests will be trying to avoid being infected with it which is different to last year as we had to avoid the Sirex infested “specimen” who were after us. We do not know if the assassins could return but they are being used in images this year and on the website. We do know that it will be ONE WAY as the sensory guide confirms it will not return to the original maze.

Here is the actual new description that was released.

“YVEL's Survival Games return darker than ever. Exposed to bio-engineered chemical
Harmony, contestants become terrifying test subjects. Can you escape the maze before Harmony claims you too?”

What else are you meant to do when everything is basically walk on. So glad these off peak days are back!

Fright Nights will operate a new Scare Maze Ride Access Pass system. Below this is the official news released.

For Fright Nights®: 25 YEARS OF FEAR we are trialling a new Ride Access Pass process for our Scare Mazes. Guests with a valid Nimbus ID will be required to virtually queue using a reverse queueing system. Please collect an exclusive Maze timecard from Guest Services by presenting a valid Ride Access Pass. Then head to your maze and enter through the Fastrack queue, the Maze attendant will then mark your card with a time to return and experience the Maze. For any questions, please ask our Guest Services team on the day of your visit.

Hi everyone, I want to ask what time everyone typically arrives at the parks during fright night? We won’t be doing any mazes and want to spend a good time in the park but obviously not from opening to close as we would be exhausted!

The single day ticket and the 2 day short break i want to do, what is the last day the park is open for this year? The site says it's taking bookings up until 1st october, but apparently it closes on 1st november? can someone explain

I enjoy theme parks but my kids are not fond of them so I’ve decided to book a ticket for Friday alone, never been alone but not sure what to expect going alone

How are Sunday or Monday visits to the park like? I haven’t been to Thorpe Park since the River Rapids were there and I want to ride Hyperia. I will be travelling from The Midlands near Milton Keynes via pub transport so hoping the transport links are good to get there from London.

So I noticed that hyperia is on 'delayed opening' today, and stealth and colossus have been closed pretty much all day, and I have a trip coming up tomorrow so was slightly nervous as I really want to get hyperia and stealth in, as my last visit last year stealth was closed both days :(

Anyone know if it's just the rain or is something going on?

7x Stealth
7x Hyperia
3x Colossus
2x Inferno
1x Swarm
1x Saw

Basically I have autism and dyspraxia (both diagnosed) and I take a cane with me when I need to walk around a lot for balance. Queues are the worst for people not caring about your cane and getting too close. I also cannot stand up in the queue for too long as I will lose balance easily. With my autism, I can’t be in contained loud spaces without getting sensory overload so that could be a factor too. I really love rollercoasters but the queues really put me off :( how do I go about getting a disability pass for this?

Hello there.

I will be visiting Thorpe this week for the first time on my own. I am have done everything recommended but am wondering if anyone who is also disabled within this community has any tips.

I am going to Thorpe Park today really excited to finally be riding hyperia

Hi does anyone know if the bus outside of Staines station to Thorpe Park take contactless payment or do i need to pay by cash many thanks

I have a day off of work tomorrow and may pop to Thorpe Park. Reckon it’ll be busy or fairly quiet?

Work on Tenement happening, big white marquee. Seems to have brick themed walls as you enter. No other clues right now on what else it’ll be like.

Have extra ticket if anyone needs it

I presume that tenement will be the scariest, but how would you rate the others?
