As someone for whom 'X' at Thorpe Park was the first roller coaster experience, this issue holds a special significance. Best described as the gateway to the world of thrilling assignments, ‘X’ has been instrumental in creating countless unforgettable memories for many youngsters, myself included. Unfortunately, this iconic attraction has been removed, depriving future riders and thrill-seekers of the joy it once brought.

Statistics from IAAPA show that roller coasters are more than just fun—they're pivotal social experiences, with 82% of young people regarding their first roller coaster ride as a significant moment in their lives. Thorpe Park, home to 'X', has the potential to create such memorable experiences for millions, given that it attracts around 1.9 million visitors annually per data from Blooloop.

By reinstating 'X', Thorpe Park won't just be restoring an attraction; they would be restoring the joyous memories and the adrenaline-pumping anticipation that accompanied countless park-goers on their very first roller coaster ride.

Let's rally together to bring back 'X' and keep the tradition alive for future generations of thrill-seekers. Please sign this petition and help us reclaim this important piece of our collective roller coaster history.
