@rt199b Yes there did used to be a land train that took guests to and from Thorpe Farm before Canada Creek Railway opened. Do you remember when you could also walk to the farm? It was a bit of a walk but was always nice to take a break from the rest of the park.
Of all the times I have been to Thorpe Park, I have never been on this. But a part of history will be removed from future generations. It will be missed!
I suppose it was inevitable: all it was offering of late was a very short round trip and the park's focus has moved on to a very different market since 1989...although it's still a shame to see it leave.
I do remember some kind of nature trail, was that the walk to the farm you mentioned?

@rt199b There was a nature area to the left of the farm, looking at it from the main park.

A great tribute to a great ride. I still remember when it was nice - wasn't there a land train that went along the back road to the farm before it?

@MadCrazyCoaster Thorpe Park's target audience is starting to sway, this was made certain when they removed the octopus gardens...
