Artist Impressions

Often before a ride is built Thorpe Park will produce concept art on what the ride will look like to give an idea of the theme. This can be used in the production stage to come up with the theme or sometimes it is used to advertise the ride before the real thing is ready. Here is our collection of artist impressions from Thorpe Park.

Canada Creek Coaster

This is the artist impression for the new Canada Creek Coaster due to open in 2009.

Colossus

Colossus was the first coaster at Thorpe Park to feature inversions so it made sense to make it the ride in the world to have the most inversions. The artist impressions created certainly point out that it is a ride that will feature loops, even though the actual layout shown is completely different.

Nemesis Inferno

Nemesis Infernos impression without showing much of the ride clearly states the theme of a volcano withe the use of hot lava in the background. The focus of on the train also clearly shows that the ride is a coaster.

Samurai

Samurai was a ride already known by the general public as it started off at Chessington World of Adventures where it had the same name and had already proved to be popular. The impression shows that the ride was to be re-themed and promotes the fact that it will now be at Thorpe Park.

Slammer

While fairly simple Slammers impression clearly shows what it is Slammer is going to do and does a good job to illustrate the sheer size of the ride.

Tidal Wave

Amity Cove was the first area of the park to be properly developed after Tussauds bought the park in 1998. The drawings show that a lot of work was put in to coming up with the idea on how to theme the area. As demonstrated in the photo's when the area opened there was a water tower the periodically let out water and a gas take that would occasionally send out a flame. Sadly after a couple of years these features had a tendency to be out of action.
