I suspect we'll see a bit more than that open. Otherwise it's a very disappointing line up.

Would seem late to announce anything else, less then a week to go!
However, I am disappointed that X isn't open. It's a great coaster and it's indoors.

I saw this too, lots of people putting there input in some thinking roller coaster (ridiculous) others suggesting indoor ride on old arena site (cant be done already) so that's leaves little possibilities :/ possibly a show or something somewhere ?

I have to agree with you. Chances are it won't be anything major. It would be cool if they put in a new thrill ride. I guess only time will tell and we will have to look out for the clues.

As many may know Thorpe Park earlier announced that they will be adding a new attraction for 2015.

So what do you think it will be? Will it open in May or March? What do you think?

I'll have a look for clues on Saturday.
Probably a relocated Carousel

Swimming - fish
Choking - danger
Rocking baby - sleep possibly?
What is behind him in that video?
Thorpe Shark Hotel.

How does it relate to an attraction though? :-k

I think it won't be anything major. I mean, if they are doing a huge expensive ride next year, surely this will be quite small.

Look at Alton Towers - they added a whole area last year and now this year they are adding a new accommodation, adventure course and a little coaster.
However I only see something small in terms of ride - top spin or something along that price range for a thrill, although I'm not sure it will be a thrill ride myself.

This will probably be a filler flat, nothing too big, possibly a family thrill :) as people have said, they won't be spending a massive amount this year with what is to come :)

Swinging ride? Rush, pirate ships, what could they get that swings?

Where does it say it's a ride? Attraction is just something that would attract people to the resort...

I really hope they don't bring in Sea Life. That would be such a let down after all this. Maybe they are bringing in a swim with sharks thing :lol In all seriousness, i have no idea what that clue is but it will be great to see more clues.

actually, yes, kirsty is right! looking at this now remembering what kirsty said, this could be something that uses some already existing facilities (not too familiar with Thorpe as a whole, so don't know what could be used for this) and easily create an experience based attraction :) (I say already existing due to the lack of any planning app as far as I know regarding anything new at Thorpe :))
