The attraction was sadly destroyed by a fire in the year leading to the permanent closure and demolition of the attraction.
Detonator now stands in this location. A powered figure-8 style roller coaster, the attraction was set inside and in the dark, featuring spaceship inspired theming. Guests would board log shaped boats and take a whirling and whooshing journey along a turbulent river before plunging multiple drops including a 20ft drop into darkness inside a tunnel and a 50ft double-down style drop into the final soaking splash. The ride took its final plunge at the end of the season after 26 years of splashtastic fun and remains a favourite today for nostalgic Thorpe Park fans.
When it opened in the early 90s, Calgary Stampede was one of the most intense and thrilling attractions at Thorpe Park Resort.
The attraction operated for ten years before leaving the park at the end of the season to make way for Samurai, a Topscan style attraction that remains a thrillseeker favourite at the park today. Giving a Thorpe Park twist to the classic carousel ride, this family favourite was well-themed and included all eight of the Thorpe Park Ranger characters wearing their iconic yellow and blue uniforms as well as miniature ride vehicles based on other Thorpe Park rides such as the Flying Fish, Loggers Leap, Thunder River and Wicked Witches Haunt.
For the season, the attraction reopened as part of Ranger County with a brand new theme. The classic vintage cars were reworked to resemble safari-style jeeps and the track took guests on a fun adventure into dense jungle with Miss Hippo. The ride operated for thirteen years before closing in the season. This remained in place until the end of the season where the coaster closed for its extensive re-theme to become The Walking Dead: The Ride.
The attraction took riders on a turbulent and soaking voyage down a rapid river through many drenching elements such as waterfalls and tunnels. The ride was marketed as one of the most intense and thrilling attractions in the park until a rebrand in in conjunction with Ribena where it was renamed Ribena Rumba Rapids and was transformed into a more family friendly ride. For the season Thorpe Park Resort debuted Pirates 4D — a short comedic pirate adventure movie brought to life using 3D screen effects and live special effects including vibrating seats, water squirts and air blasts.
After nine years of screening, Pirates 4D was retired and replaced with a new 4D movie called Time Voyagers which showed in the cinema until when it closed as part of a wider rebrand of the area to Angry Birds Land which opened in Slammer opened at Thorpe Park Resort in and was a huge Sky Swatter style attraction that would flip riders through a full degree inversion at heights of over ft.
The attraction was a very intense experience both for riders experiencing intense forces as their blood rushed to their head and onlookers who could stand and watch the giant fly swat ride flipping riders upside-down.
