Join us for an overview for the history of Thorpe Park!

Back in 1979 Thorpe Park opened to the public, and has come a long way since that day. In this video we will outline some of the key rides and attractions which have come and gone over the past 45 years of being open. Right the way up to the 45th anniversary of the park, and the opening of the UK's tallest coaster, Hyperia.

All the media we use in this video is mainly ours, with the exceptions of official publications/adverts/brochures/maps. No images have been used from other sources which does mean, some key attractions early on we weren't fortunately enough to ride and document.

We have been visiting the park since the 80's, and have attended every Fright Nights as well! We will also bring the history of Fright Nights (or Nites as it was from 20022004) in each year. From the groundbreaking Colossus, to the even more groundbreaking Hyperia a huge set of rides have graced the park.

The park have come along way in 45 years, and now sits as one of, if not the UK's number one theme parks. What are you memories of Thorpe Park in the last 45 years? When was your first visit to the park? Which ride do you miss the most?
