Today Thorpe Park released a new video, in what appears to be the first of many to come.

The video is titled "Discovery" and starts with a wide shot of the park skyline, before sharply flicking to what appears to be a man covered in blood stains. The video then proceeds to construction site workers going about there day, until one of them discovers a red box buried in the ground, with 13 scratched into the lid. The construction worker opens the box, only to yelp and jump back, which the screen then cuts out. The date 13.09.08 appears, whilst in the background screams can be heard "Jim!", etc.

To see the video yourself check it out below, or head over to the official Thorpe Park YouTube.
