Following Thorpe Park’s announcement that Rumba Rapids will be leaving the park, visible signs of its removal have already begun to take shape.

Work on Project Pivot at Thorpe Park is now well underway, bringing major changes to the beach area. The larger section of the beach has already been removed, dramatically opening up the space and making it almost unrecognisable compared to before.

Thorpe Park has officially confirmed that Rumba Rapids will not be returning and has now closed permanently. After weeks of rumours sparked by the ride’s pumps being removed and boats being moved into storage on one of the islands the park today confirmed the news on social media.

Thorpe Park has officially announced the future of the larger section of the area formerly known as Amity Beach. This space is set to be transformed into a brand-new chill-out zone, giving visitors the perfect place to relax during a busy day at the park.

It’s official, Project Pivot is happening. Construction firm Webb has confirmed the development with a LinkedIn update, sharing an image of a digger ready to enter the beach and begin work.

The closed season at Thorpe Park is officially halfway done, and it won’t be long until we’re back riding the attractions once again. Thorpe Park reopens in 76 days, on Friday 27th March 2026, and from what we can see, there is already plenty happening behind the scenes.
