Dark Ride at Thorpe Park

Thorpe Park has applied for planning permission to build a 2438sqm building to house a unique indoor fully themed atttraction ready to open for Summer 2016.

The new attraction will be located on the site of the Arena and Chief Ranger’s Carousel, between Nemesis Inferno and X.

It is rumoured that the attraction will be based on a major intellectual property such as the BBC's Doctor Who, whom Merlin Entertainments, the owners of Thorpe Park, have recently worked with on Cbeebies Land at Alton Towers.

The building will have a warehouse appearance (similar to SAW - The Ride) and contain the main dark ride experience, a pre-show and shop. The plans also include a welcome plaza with themed structures and a covered queue line. The building will be 10m in height, in accordance with the restrictions of the Medium Term Development Plan.

Our edited plan above shows some internal features but details of the ride system and layout remain a closely guarded secret.
