The Ultimate Heatwave Cool Down - Ice Cream Snow Showers - Ice-Scream Weekend: Friday July 26 And Saturday July 27
THORPE PARK Resort



THORPE PARK'S Ice-Scream Weekend is an insanely fun way to cool down in a heatwave - under edible ice cream snow showers.  On Friday July 26 and Saturday July 27 in a weird weather, crazy culinary first it will literally snow delicious vanilla ice cream and visitors can lap up as much as they want.

 

A Miss Cakehead concept, the Nation’s Thrill Capital will be serving up the world’s first edible ice cream snow which will rain down from the heavens at regular intervals.

 

Showers will be localised a stone’s throw away from the awesome 0-80 mph Stealth and guests will be alerted to an imminent flurry courtesy of a distinctive ice cream van jingle broadcast across the Park. In contrast to the rollercoaster’s rapid fire speed, gentle snow will descend slowly as guests grab a spoon or take shelter under giant waffle umbrellas.
