New Thorpe Park Site

Thorpe park have had a total revamp of the site giving it a more modern look imo.

Quite a few people at TTF dont like it much but I think its pretty good, I love the features such as upload your own photo of rides. The on ride videos they have of some rides are great as well.

What do you think about the new look site?

I really like the new site, looks really good and has a real modern feel about it. I think it was inevitable they would end up with a new site since Alton changed theres. I would not be suprised if Chessy followed suit in the near future.

I like the rides Currently Unavailable box, it says they are all available! Lets all go to Thorpe  Laughing

Yeah sound good to me  Laughing

Lets just hope that the rides unavailable box stays empty more than not through the season.

This was the first section of the website that my eyes homed in on !!

I always admire Thorpe Park for displaying unavailable rides on their website.  Drayton Manor is also excellent at displaying this information, but i have found that Alton Towers and Chessington World Of Adventures seem to only display information for rides that will be down for a considerable amount of time, with the occasional exception.

Now that Thorpe have introduced this boxed section to display the rides that are unavailable it will be more effective than having the information displayed in the scrolling news bar they used to have at the top of the page.

I really like the new website and agree that it now has a much more modern twist to it.

Agree that Thorpe's new web site is a vast improvement

It is a vast improventment as it is a lot more modern and has more useful information displayed on the home page like rides currently unavaliable which is much better than using those scroll bars and that the various opening times are high lighted in different colours so you don't get mixed up when the park is open.

Kind of related to the new site. The new disability guide for this year includes the rides and the access points for disabled riders. Check out the list and look under Calypso Quay:

Time Voyagers? According to Thorpe Park guide this is likely to be the replacement for Pirates and is the show at Gardaland?

Here is a link to the press release for when Time Voyagers was added to Gardaland last year.

If this is true, then what will they do with the building. Its all round very piratey!

I don't think it needs that much of a retheme. Ditch the parrot and a few of the static bits and slap up a few heads of historic figures. Most of the scenery is fairly generic.
