**Thorpe Park Fright Nights 2024 Construction Update** Excitement is building as preparations for Thorpe Park's Fright Nights 2024 continue to ramp up! Here's a sneak peek at what's been happening around the park:
For the start of the 2024 season, Thorpe Park has revitalized the theming for its iconic Tidal Wave ride. The bridge has been completely rebuilt, with the original Pier 13 theming making a long-awaited return.
Construction for Thorpe Park's Fright Nights 2024 is well underway, with exciting developments happening across the park. Legacy Plaza has been packed up, and in its place, the tent for the "Stitches" maze has been installed, with props and walls delivered and ready to be set up.
In celebration of National Rollercoaster Day, Thorpe Park has delighted thrill-seekers with the release of a special time-lapse video showcasing the construction of its newest ride, Hyperia.
Has Tomb Blaster lost some of its magic? Sadly we we think so.
Scorpion Express at Chessington World of Adventures closed back in July 2022 due to technical issues. Despite some reports of a fire in the front car of the rollercoaster, no official reason around the reason why the ride was closed in the first place has surfaced.
Alton Towers Resort has unveiled plans for its thrilliant autumn events calendar, including Oktoberfest, Scarefest and Fireworks running from September to November 2024.
Construction work on Thorpe Park's newest Fright Nights maze has begun! Delivery of materials to the site and the installation of site offices in the old Slammer queue line has marked the beginning of the new maze being built.
A few weeks ago we reported that new wooden posts had been installed in the Saw The Ride queue line. People were left wondering whether they were for new theming or if the park finally added shade to this section of the queue line.
Thorpe Park and Chessington are two of the only Merlin parks that used to have electric car charging points. These have now been upgraded to new car charging systems and their capacity has tripled!
Could Drayton Manor’s next big project be reopening a classic Drayton Manor dark ride? Pirate Adventure closed in 2015 as a believed cost-cutting measure. Signs and props for the old Pirate theme boat ride were sold in an auction back in 2020 when the park was still family-owned.
