I’ve watched a few different channels covering the 2024 opening weekends of different parks, and TPW are absolutely head and shoulders above the rest…100%! Detailed information, very informative and friendly delivery and great footage throughout! Excellent channel!!
Awesome day! Shame about the weather and ride availability though. It was amazing to meet you at the end of the day and thank you so much for the photo! :)
With or without Hyperia, I definitely look forward to going to Thorpe Park: Stealth, Colossus, Saw: The Ride, The Walking Dead: The Ride, so many great rides.
I was rowing on Thorpe lakes during opening day! It was so nice to see people in the park and seeing it alive again. Great vlog as ever Shaun and Charlotte :)
I'm so lucky to be only 30 minutes away from a world class theme park! Over the years I've been continuously disappointed by Alton Towers, it used to be my favourite but now thorpe is. I wish for Alton towers to up their game! I miss it being my favourite park. But for now thorpe takes the cake!!
I'm with you on that. Was at Thorpe Park last Tuesday then at Alton Towers today and I definitely now prefer Thorpe Park. In fact I also think Towers is a disappointment like Blackpool Pleasure definitely is!
I also love colossus for the amazing airtime on the final heartline rolls and I agree about keeping your head forward, but I did still notice my shoulder hurting a bit after the second ride. Still my favourite at the park but I’ll also look forward to the day they finally listen to the thousands of comments begging for Sik’s lap bars
Shawn didn’t know if you knew but stealth is the worlds fastest launch coaster again as the one what beat it has been permanent closed! Just a cool fact is you didn’t hear as it happened the day before Thorpe opened for this season
Did my 2nd Saturday of the year at Alton yesterday and definitely saw some of that weather there too! Made operations pretty brutal, not helped by other non wind affected rides being down, but we stuck it out and got some good rides in late in the day. Went to Thorpe today and got glorious sunshine and low winds, pretty successful day doing all coasters but Colossus in a 5hr trip. Added 4 credits too (aiming to get from 110 to 200 this year) after an awful visit around 15 years ago. As a first time AP I can't wait to get back for Hyperia!
The only UK wing coaster thing. Just thought I'd 'help Shawn out' with that one and assume he meant the classic full-circuit type, as technically, B&M may consider the shuttle-type a separate model. Everyone knows Shawn is well aware of Mandril Mayhem, but we can all slip up of course, whatever Shawn meant, his rider count means a lot more than any internet based research, so I listen to him with respect, despite my decades of internet research of coasters going back to 2001. Great Vlog, looks like a lot of bad luck mainly for opening day with the weather.
We were down at Alton Towers the same day, so we weren't at Thorpe Park opening day, but we had the same windy problem at Alton Towers. In fact, they decided to put the rainy policy in places.
It was a pleasure to meet you both. Lovely to see how much time you have for people. Thank you for all you do in your videos and off screen. Scott was extremely happy to see him self in the background of your video! I was saying to Scott yesterday, I don't understand how you both don't have loads of awards for your work!! Anyway, was a pleasure. Adventure with the mcleods (The giant in the stealth queue and the lady who was dancing and being annoying)
Finally in a Theme Park Worldwide video lol twice, once with my friend while filming my own video with my friend at 10:16 and the other time outside Nemesis Inferno at 33:44. Really good video, yeah day was not good with weather, this is why they need 100% more indoor attractions, rides, coasters and even lands? Be open all year aswell very useful weather related. Got evacuated off the Tidal Wave in station a few times due to weather and hail stones to the point was considering just walking away and trying another ride, but then weather was ok & we went up the hill & down the drop, got drenched. Can see what Charlotte now means with water going over your head lol. Absolutely drenched lol, 100% in the cold, don't go on Tidal Wave, it was freezing, keep it for summer and emergency cool down lol. Ghost Train went on, was good, acting was good, effects were good, story everything really enjoyed. Wasn't sure about it at first, but more story unraveled, really enjoyed 100%. Didn't ride & experience many rides, coasters, but apart from weather, had a good day, filmed a lot of footage for my own channel DJS Official UK. Also, meeting you both and getting a picture outside Stealth made my day, cheers for that, both were really nice. Sad for what happened with Stealth going down, but good moment came out of it. Cheers for that moment and cheers for vlog, look forward to Drayton Manor vlog tomorrow & more vlogs in future. 😀👍
Hyperia looks great, and it will be the ride that finally gets me to make the trip back to Thorpe park. I hope they have rows to accommodate larger riders, similar to the back row of Icon! The only issue I can see with Hyperia is its total track length and ride time being too short. Hopefully each of the elements pack enough of a punch to make up for it!
as soon as the park opened it was so funny watching everyone run to stealth when it hadnt even opened yet! i headed straight over to the walking dead ride as its my favourtie experience and it always meets my expectations, though i tried saw for the first time and left like i was absolutely being thrown around 😭
Great video Shawn and Charlotte from the first day of the 2024 season at Thorpe Park, keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😀👍👍
really enjoying the opening day vlogs you and charlotte are the best! the wind was the same at towers i went on the 23rd and lots of the rides closed witch lead to big waits we managed to get on 6 rides witch was pretty good 2 of them was nemesis reborn witch didn’t seem to close at all. But everyone in park did get a free ticket to come back witch was really good. loving the vlogs
17:52 Im visiting Thorpe tommorow and Sunday for obly my second visit and we cannot wait to get on Hyperia and Colossus for our first time as well as getting nack on The Swarm, Stealth, Nemesis Inferni and Saw - The Ride!
Wow Hyperia's drop looks insane cannot wait to ride it. I went in September 23 to Thorpe it's looks a lot better since the sparkle money as been spent. I will be going when Hyperia opens . Sorry the weather was bad for you guys.
The Park is looking really good, lovely and clean and fresh. Loving the logo and entrance. Hyperia does look awesome doesn't it, you can feel the excitement in your voices for when it's going to open later in the season. What a good idea to give priority passes out if a ride has to close and you've been queuing for ages, these would be good at Alton Towers ! Good job you used it on Saw before the weather turned nasty - it looked awful, you poor things😢 Glad the sun came out later, pity about the Swarm ride. I've never actually been to Thorpe Park but it looks very well set out, my son will be visiting in the summer. Charlotte's reaction when you mentioned Tidal Wave was hilarious 😂 I knew she would be checking the pick n mix out too lol. Just love your vlogs on the Parks they are very professional, fun and informative with very good, honest coverage. Keep up the good work both ❤
Im so happy hyperia finaly came tö thrope park they desperatly needed a New "star" attraction And what better ride to make that title than the uk's tallest and likely most intense roller coaster Also great vlog ❤
Well, I can safely say I made it into a video 😂i'm the guy in the wheelchair at around the 19:50 mark... can't believe i was so CLOSE to you and had no idea!
Hi Guys, a great Video and thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :-) p.s. hopefully you have a better visit next time you go.
It's a shame that the weather wasn't great, but the park is looking very fresh this year. I'm glad the original Colossus music has returned for another year
Love your videos on both channels ❤ been on stealth with a sudden down pour before. Felt like hailstones hitting me in the face lol. Going to the park tomorrow. Fingers crossed for good weather and ride availability.
DJ John Britain's got talent TV show says you deserve a medal for all your hard work respect DJ John says let's see you waving those hands in the air like you just don't care DJ John says let's get the party started dj john got a heart of gold he got his letter of the late queen for his charity work dj john from Britain's got talent TV show a big respect everyone in the world hip hip hooray. Geordie DJ John in the mix Geordie legend thanks everyone for your hard work respect 😅😅😅😅
I really hope that once Hyperia is open due to the hight that they give people notice on the website if it will be open on the day due to the weather or if too windy. So you don’t waste your time going all the way down there and it’s closed because it’s too windy
45:17 I totally agree with Shawn that they should put in place some sort of voucher for merlin passes when they put the free return policy in place due to ride down time.
Diaaspointing news yesterday, Merlin is to introduce Surge Pricing across all of its UK attractions. As if times are not hard enough for families. With all the extra money though maybe they can finally build a real huge beast of a coaster packed with airtime (RMC 🙏) at one of it's UK parks instead of the constant stream of 40 Second mid size ones!
Great Vlog from the first day of the 2024 season at Thorpe Park Shawn and Charlotte, it’s a shame that the hail and the wind stopped operations at the park at certain points during the day but there wasn’t a lot that the park could do about it so it’s not their fault

Awesome day! Shame about the weather and ride availability though. It was amazing to meet you at the end of the day and thank you so much for the photo! :)
The weather was crazy! Great to see you!
Thank you for taking a picture with me! It was a great day!
Great to see you!
With or without Hyperia, I definitely look forward to going to Thorpe Park: Stealth, Colossus, Saw: The Ride, The Walking Dead: The Ride, so many great rides.
Great to see thope park just touching up those little deatils that really make a difference! Really looking foward to riding hyperia!!
It’s great to see!
I was rowing on Thorpe lakes during opening day! It was so nice to see people in the park and seeing it alive again. Great vlog as ever Shaun and Charlotte :)

thankyou for giving justace to nemissis inferno! that was so sweet. this is what the coaster comunity need to hear atm.
It was a great day and good to see you after colossus I was on the row ahead of you on colossus thanks for the photo
It was a great day!
I can’t wait to see what Thorpe looks like!
On opening
17:10 It came from the sky 🥁
Crazy weather down south! So excited to get on Hyperia, I'll probably wait a few weeks after opening though & go on a nice off-peak day.
TP is looking great, loads of work gone in to upkeep! Hyperia dwarfing everything in sight, cant wait!
It needed it to be honest as back in 2020 the park was looking very rundown and dirty!
Loving that view of colossus saw and hyperia looks amazing all three of those beauties!
They all look so good together!
I also love colossus for the amazing airtime on the final heartline rolls and I agree about keeping your head forward, but I did still notice my shoulder hurting a bit after the second ride. Still my favourite at the park but I’ll also look forward to the day they finally listen to the thousands of comments begging for Sik’s lap bars
It’s such a great ride if you know how to ride it!
It was great to meet the both of you the day before at Chessington and get a photo! :) (I was the kid in the grey B&M coaster t shirt)
Great to see you!
Shawn didn’t know if you knew but stealth is the worlds fastest launch coaster again as the one what beat it has been permanent closed! Just a cool fact is you didn’t hear as it happened the day before Thorpe opened for this season
RIP Do-dodonpa
Wouldn't Red Force be faster?
18:08 one of only two wing rollercoasters in the uk because of mandrill mayhem.
I definitely meant to say the UK’s only thrilling wing coaster 😂
Top Tip For Colossus When You Next Ride:
Queue For Front Row, It’s A Longer Wait, But A Smoother Ride!
You made me want to go now but it’s just such a looooong drive 😂
Did my 2nd Saturday of the year at Alton yesterday and definitely saw some of that weather there too! Made operations pretty brutal, not helped by other non wind affected rides being down, but we stuck it out and got some good rides in late in the day.

Awesome to see you down by stealth and colossus….its frustrating it was on 1 train towards the end as it was on 2 earlier in the day

What a random mix of a day for you both, shame about some details yet you made the best of it.
Saw the ride is amazing and it was funny when you came off the ride and the weather took a turn for the worst 😂

Nice to see the Blades moving round on saw the ride and stealth now has the correct stats about the speed 👏👏
Looking good!
Great blog guys ❤
We saw you in the stealth queue line it was taking a long time to get going again!
Can’t wait to go at some point this year 🤩
I was also there! I saw you guys as i was walking through Old Town 😂
Hyperia looks great on the skyline of the park. Ready to see it testing now!
It looks epic!
Can't wait for Hyperia
It's a shame that the weather wasn't great, but the park is looking very fresh this year. I'm glad the original Colossus music has returned for another year
Love your videos on both channels ❤ been on stealth with a sudden down pour before. Felt like hailstones hitting me in the face lol. Going to the park tomorrow. Fingers crossed for good weather and ride availability.
Thank you!
Thorpe is back 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was on rush and hail hit me in the eye! 😂 The ride op said the ride may be a bit more painful than usual 😂
Having funny ops is the best though especially on detonator 😂
THORPE PARK🎢Is gonna have a good 2024
You know you love tidal wave Charlotte lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m at Thorpe park today. Apparently there will be testing!! Might be able to catch some videos and il put them on my channel 🥰
Can't wait to go next Thursday, big fan of your videos.
Have a great time!
Thanks
I liked this park I have been there in summer 2023 it was perfect🎉

Definitely
Great video sorry ride availability wasn't the best. Def. heading down Thorpe Park this year for Hyperia but probably not opening day
I think that was a hard NO from Charlotte on Tidal Wave … Hyperia looks insane
Great vlog
I’ll be travelling to Thorpe to ride hyperia but I won’t be going as soon as it opens I don’t fancy queueing for 5 hours lol x
Have a great time!
Bring on Hyperia!
Your everywhere
I will be heading to Thorpepark looking forward to it
Diaaspointing news yesterday, Merlin is to introduce Surge Pricing across all of its UK attractions. As if times are not hard enough for families. With all the extra money though maybe they can finally build a real huge beast of a coaster packed with airtime (RMC 🙏) at one of it's UK parks instead of the constant stream of 40 Second mid size ones!
Another great vlog guys. Not feeling the new logo. But nice to see the other inprovements
Thank you!
Can’t wait to go to Thorpe park on the 16th of April
The Swarm is Awesome and it was the UK'S only wing Roller coaster
Mandrill Mayhem at Chessington is also a wing coaster, however designed for families!
Great Vlog from the first day of the 2024 season at Thorpe Park Shawn and Charlotte, it’s a shame that the hail and the wind stopped operations at the park at certain points during the day but there wasn’t a lot that the park could do about it so it’s not their fault
