A New Era for Thorpe Park Beach
Sunday 9th November 2025
As the 2025 theme park season at Thorpe Park draws to a close, the side of the beach set to become a brand-new events space remains untouched—for now. Rumours are already circulating that during this year’s closed season, the area will be transformed as part of Project Pivot, complete with a newly built stage. Since the removal of Wet Wet Wet a few years ago, this section of the beach has remained largely undeveloped, making this long-awaited transformation an exciting prospect.
Thorpe Park Project Pivot Plans Approved
Friday 23rd May 2025
Exciting developments are underway at Thorpe Park as plans for Project Pivot have officially been approved. This ambitious project involves the transformation of the park's beach area, starting with the removal of one side of the beach to make way for future attractions.
During the closed season, the smaller side of the beach received a fresh makeover and is set to open for the 2025 season, offering guests a newly revitalised space to relax and enjoy.
With the green light now given, attention turns to the larger side of the beach, where Project Pivot promises to bring dramatic changes. While full details are yet to be revealed, fans are already speculating about what thrilling new experiences could be coming to the area.

Launch Pad at Thorpe Park is progressing well, with brick paving now being installed towards the far end of the site. More lighting poles are being added into the concrete footings, while benches are also starting to appear around the area.
It looks as though the new food and beverage units are nearing completion, and could soon be ready for kitchen equipment and final fit-out to be installed.
Thorpe Park Beach Update Potential Changes with Project Pivot
Tuesday 18th March 2025
There’s been some buzz around Thorpe Park regarding a potential redevelopment of the beach area, codenamed Project Pivot. While still awaiting official approval, the plan involves removing the larger side of the beach to make room for a stage and new food stands, which would provide visitors with more entertainment and dining options. As a result, the smaller side of the beach is expected to reopen.
This summer, Thorpe Park has been making some early improvements in preparation, with the pool on the smaller beach getting a fresh coat of paint and the surrounding rocks being refurbished. Meanwhile, work is also underway on the larger side, where pumps are being rerouted as part of the planned changes.
Additionally, new fences have been installed around the bridge that crosses over the beach, and there are ongoing efforts to brick up the tunnel underneath.
While Project Pivot is still in the proposal stage, it’s clear that Thorpe Park is already taking steps to refresh and improve the beach area in anticipation of what could be a major upgrade. Keep an eye out for updates as the park moves forward with these changes, and stay tuned for more information once the project gets the green light!
