now this is something i like to see, too many companies are falling short and filming these kind of things on phones, just getting the office 20 y/o to do it but this feels intentional, full of effort, and professional
I was lucky enough to go and visit a few days ago before the park opened, and I can say from personal experience that the repaints and rethemes are all looking INSANE!!!
So glad to see colossus getting some love. Now i'd love to see her with new trains, restored fountains and blue water under the track again..and she'll be back to her former glory 😍 Then all we'd need is new trains to really keep her running well!!
We are all supposed to be grateful and get excited that they have painted their rundown park. It was way overdue, all these years? Think of their profits a year and we have to wait for "Project Sparkles" and then they use it as an advertisement.
Glad to see that the park had a revamp. This is set to overtake Alton Towers, becoming the Six Flags of the UK. Thank you for all the hard work and countless hours of testing.
Not really a fan of the new mint branding on the entrance, it seems a bit artificial and a little too bright, but maybe thats just because it's fresh paint. The logo is also suffering the oversimplification that every other brand is going through, it doesn't really scream "theme park" any more. The refurbished rides look good though at least, and they're the most important parts. Hyperia looks cool too, I hadn't heard anything about it but its about time for a new huge roller coaster and this seems worth the wait
Get in! We can start to make the new staff uniform now! Absolutely loved following all sparkle project updates and can’t wait to go for Hyperia’s opening! Edit: Kinda late lol but we made it and it is slaying
I hope this amazing lady joins my first ride front row in Thorpe Park! You're doing an amazing job! My Thorpe park bucket list! Front row in Stealth with this really nice lady!
I love that you’ve re painted EVERYTHING. The re theming of stealth is tip top, I was in the queue a year ago and thought I’d love to be on the squad to go round repainting the amity raceway area, and the new boulevard is amazing too and ties in with amity cove very well. Still wanna work there and definitely coming to visit soon
Looks amazing! And super happy to see all gender toilets! Will make it a lot more comfortable for me and my fellow trans* folks to go do our business! 😁
most entertainment industries just fix stuff... not ask for a pat on the back after leaving it to rot for 10 years prior. Hope the wasps situation has improved as well.
"a safer space to go" what about the safety of young daughters who have to share a bathroom with a 6ft muscular bearded man? You're a hypocrite and ignorant af 🙄
New floor throughout the park would massively improve the appearance more than anything else. Also maybe more subtle music that doesn’t get annoying because it’s on 10min loop. Maybe make the tracks over an hour long so it isn’t so annoying.
When will Colossus open this year? Im visiting in July and i really hope its open as it was closed last year when i had my first visit to the park in April and i don't want to miss it again!
I went their yesterday with my school and went on all the rides at least 2 times me and my friends were so sad bc hyperia wasn’t open but we had too much fun!!!
Well, on the strength of this video, we went last weekend (Sunday April 7th) and it was a TOTAL DISASTER. 75% of the rides were closed. Four times a ride broke down while we were in the queue, after having queued for 45 mins. Total waste of time and money! It is no good offering us a free return when we came all the way from Germany as we won't be coming back any time soon, that's for sure. Thorpe Park clearly has some excellent rides but it is poorly managed and does not have the engineer resources to fix problems on-the-fly. Never have we seen rides closed all day in German theme parks such as Europa Park, Holiday Park and Heide Park (an hour or two at most, sure). There was a bit of wind, but nothing that could be labelled "adverse weather". The entire day was a shambles!
I mean, Hyperia is the weakest name they could have chosen. Hyperion is another ride in Poland at Energylandia (of course). But surely, you’re bound to get confused!
Glad Merlin has finally done something about the neglect, lord knows Thorpe park had seen better years.
Such an exciting season ahead. Bring on Hyperia!
yoooo
Hello :)
Omg I love your channel! So excited to go back to thorpe ❤
Hi theme park worldwide love your channel
now this is something i like to see, too many companies are falling short and filming these kind of things on phones, just getting the office 20 y/o to do it

Yeah production value is good, everything is shot on a gimbal with a mirrorless camera and low aperture for sure
@@Chow0012 correct.
'We've left no stone unturned'
Inferno:.....
Maybe they'll get around to that next year
@@adamknight7041 they better
I was lucky enough to go and visit a few days ago before the park opened, and I can say from personal experience that the repaints and rethemes are all looking INSANE!!!
So true lol
3:22 that had to be deliberate.. 😂😅
.....
Not rubbing it i Blackpool's face at all!
@@davehedgehog9795 "The big one" was the UKs tallest ride
If you turn on the subtitles "the big one" is in quotation marks haha
😂🤣😅
So glad to see colossus getting some love. Now i'd love to see her with new trains, restored fountains and blue water under the track again..and she'll be back to her former glory 😍 Then all we'd need is new trains to really keep her running well!!
3:21 That one hit hard 🤣
I'm sure Blackpool's tears will be salty 😂
99% of this video is just "we repainted stuff lol"
because they needed it badly.
Looool until 1 winter hits and algae starts lol
@@tayo0404Ikr lol 😂

I only wish all parks would keep things looking fresh and clean.
So glad that Merlin has finally put some love into my home park. It was getting very run down.
The park looks splendid. Well done!
thorpe park has now def overtaken alton towers
For real
100%
Nah in my opinion Alton Towers is better, the rides are more fun
@@aleeshacampbell129 nah, not after this beast
@@aleeshacampbell129 ontop of that, thorpe parks flat rides cant be beaten. Samurai, vortex etc
Glad to see that the park had a revamp. This is set to overtake Alton Towers, becoming the Six Flags of the UK. Thank you for all the hard work and countless hours of testing.
Cant wait to visit this summer from The Netherlands
3:22 What a pisstake. I love you Thorpe Park. 😂
Absolutely awesome, honestly can’t wait to see Thorpe looking fresh again!
It is great to see the park getting the love it deserves!
YESS THORPE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN 🥳🥳
She’s cool. We like her. Thorpe Queen.
YES!!!!!!!!!!! flying fish is the best roller coaster in the WORLD so can't wait to meet it!🤩🤩
flying fish is #1 and mad underrated!!! :D

I could not agree more with the logo.
Brilliant video. I really enjoyed this!
I went to Thorpe Park right before the rebrand, and WOW! It's amazing how much has changed!! Can't wait to go back this year.
Looking good Thorpe Park!
Thorpe Park is back! Can’t wait to get back on The Swarm.
3:32 so funny comparing Saw 😂
Cant wait to visit!
They really are rubbing in the 'fastest accelerating rollercoaster in the word' aren't they
So they should, its a unique selling point!
They said it once 😂
way better than raw speed, more acceleration is more force over less time! weeeeee!
Its a tie between maxx force and stealth so technically they're correct
It has the record after the closure of Do-Dodonpa.
Thorp Park looks great 👍 👌
HYPERIA ... sounds like a 1998 jungle drum and bass tape pack ! love it
Yay thorpe park is open!
God bless and have an amazing season, y'all! ❤❤
3:22 as a northerner that cut DEEP
Can't wait to be back ❤
Omg, Colossus looks so bright!!
The golden season is here
Coming this Friday ❤
I swear ive been there before!!!
❤ Great video
Get in! We can start to make the new staff uniform now! Absolutely loved following all sparkle project updates and can’t wait to go for Hyperia’s opening!
Edit: Kinda late lol but we made it and it is slaying
Omg…
Of course
I’m so exited for the summer I love stealth and swarm can’t wait for Hyperia and sparkled colossus
I literally cannot believe how good this park looks now😮

the maxx force slight is crazy
hopefully the toilets near tidal wave aren't a slip and slide anymore!
Great video
First like of the 2024 seasons 😊
I hope this amazing lady joins my first ride front row in Thorpe Park! You're doing an amazing job! My Thorpe park bucket list! Front row in Stealth with this really nice lady!
Thorpe park cant Wait to see you guys tomorrow I couldn’t got today

Ally lad😂
I'm sure the most exciting thing about the park will be the new toilets and they will be very popular with people traveling miles to see them
Definitely hitting up TP again!
I can't wait to see what's in store for seasonal events like Fright Nights....
Nice work Merlin/TP!
I love that you’ve re painted EVERYTHING. The re theming of stealth is tip top, I was in the queue a year ago and thought I’d love to be on the squad to go round repainting the amity raceway area, and the new boulevard is amazing too and ties in with amity cove very well.

I’m coming in the summer!
I really love following all the Sparkle Project updates and can't wait for Hyperia to open!
Love the new look but I wish u could change the restraints on colossus because that really dose your shoulders in 😂😂
Why are most rides closed?
Hi There, this is great to see. Cheers Peter :-)
Is the drop not beyond vertical?
Loved the first day of being open and I even stuck the park map on my wall
2: 05 Thanks for the explicitly "All Gender" bathrooms as well as the spaces for people who prefer a safer space to go. It helps a lot
“All gender” 😂😂😂
@@j_c2225for male and female 😁
"a safer space to go" what about the safety of young daughters who have to share a bathroom with a 6ft muscular bearded man? You're a hypocrite and ignorant af 🙄
Hyperia looks mad
cant wait to go in august and get on hyperia
cant wait for tommorow
I love the American theming woow
3:22 wonder what that was refering to 😂
might have to re-visit thorpe park
I haven’t been Thorpe park in years dayum
2:09 THE INCLUSIVITY YASSS

damn thats crazy
Went on friends and family day on the 15th cant wait to get on colossus again once it reopens
not a Massive fan of mack rides, usually their trains, but I'm hyped for this I have to say
damn bring hyperia
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVe the park one of the best
"Now for the big one hyperia"
I get it hyperia beat the big one in height that's funny that
I mean, Hyperia is the weakest name they could have chosen. Hyperion is another ride in Poland at Energylandia (of course). But surely, you’re bound to get confused!
I literally thought this when heard the name.😂 Trying to steal Hyperion's name and the big one's height.
2:37 It's spelt "centre"
During those subtitles she was talking about the American themed area so maybe it was intentional haha
I'll let the keen people test hyperia out first. See if there's any loose screws.
