Canada Creek Railway at Thorpe Park 1989-2011

[rt199b]

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.

Gaaa, Merlin you suck. Everyone loves the railway.

I remember going to the farm on the old CCR. Going to miss it. :(

[rt199b]

I meant to say I remember when it was NEW!

[rt199b]

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?

[MemoriesofThorpePark]

@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!

Sad news indeed, 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.

Goodbye....

Thorpe Park are starting to lack in young thrill seeker rides.

[superwiko]

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

iv never been on it but it is always sad to see them closing a ride.

A very nice video James, great to see some of your older photos in there.
