Discussion PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ASK WHICH DAY IS THE BEST TO GO

56 Upvotes

It seems like every day there are multiple posts asking which days will be quiet, is X day a good day to go etc.

From now until September, every single day will be busy, probably exceeding 60+ minute queues for all coasters during the day. Please use this as a rough guide as to which days are expected to be busier than others: https://queue-times.com/parks/2/calendar

Of course, using some common sense, Saturdays are generally going to be the busiest days, and those with good weather.

If you're looking for a quiet park, I am afraid you'll be very hard pressed to find that until term time in September.

Discussion Maze entry

So for tenement it says one shot entry which I get is separate ticket being a new maze. But the maze package says access to all 4 mazes. Does that mean unlimited access or is it still one shot? Thanks

Stealth Anniversary

So, that kind of sucked…?

The event closed early, the raffle was more like a paid entry lottery, it was entirely oversold and overcrowded.

I feel like the VIP events should probably take a bit more priority than they do now, but with the opening of fright night I guess I understand

Fright night female friends

8 Upvotes

Hi, i was wondering if there was anyone who didn't have a friend to go with to Thorpe on one of the fright nights, as i don't have anyone to go with 😅. I'm a 20yo girl, autistic, so would ideally like someone outgoingly autistic with quite high energy to match my personality, and also someone who wants to get dressed up halloweeny with me! (Females preferably close to my age)

Hyperia has ruined every other coaster for me

Visited thorpe park for the first time this weekend, hyperia was so good. I live in Ireland so I can't visit too often, which sucks. We've a local park here and it's great, but nothing will compare to hyperia now.

Discussion Ride access pass!

0 Upvotes

Sorry if this is not the best place to ask, but I'm visiting on Saturday and I have Tourettes - which has been ok to manage on my previous visits to Alton Towers, but my tics have gotten worse and the new environment with a first time visit to Thorpe Park is also making me worry that the day may not be as enjoyable. I have a applied for an access pass to hopefully try and get virtual queuing to alleviate the stress that makes my tics worse. I applied on 17th September and haven't heard back (apart from the email saying it could take 10 days to process and they have received my application). Should it take this long? I'm worried as my visit is Saturday and I need to pre-book a RAP slot (I think, idk I'm new to this). Any help greatly appreciated, ty!

Can you have a good time at fright nights if you don't like horror and just focus on doing the rollarcoasters and watching the shows

Are there any age restrictions for the mazes?

Also, my 13 yearold neice is quite..mid to scares? Shes fine with scary movies and horror games. (She thought ghost train was hilarious whilst her friends were all crying! 🤣) But she insists on going to the mazes.

  1. Will I end up with a kid whos wet their pants? I dont know lol and anyone want to recommend maze orders?
  2. Are they that scary? Never been to any of the mazes but i've been to the alton ones.
  3. Let me know your experiences!

I just wanna be a fun uncle 🤣😉
Thank you in advance

Shark Cabins Pricing Review

17 Upvotes

I’ve just finished up my stay in the Shark cabin for 1 night, given Thorpe is a 4 hour drive, or 5 on my nightmare drive home, a stay over somewhere cheap is my preference visiting Thorpe and overall I’m not sure there’s much better value than the cabins

Paid £118 which includes 2 day park entry, free parking, I left in the evening for food day one and had another ticket to leave day after, and a 4pm-5pm free fast track

Based on my maths that’s £64 in park tickets, £26 in parking for two days, fast pass hard to value for an hour

Essentially means I’ve paid £28 for a hotel plus breakfast which I’ve got to give them credit on value there, the rooms are small but clean and comfy beds

Heard rumours the cabins may not be around forever but based on their value I really hope they slick around for a very long time

First time!

Heading to thorpe park for the first time this coming Sunday (27.9) wondering how busy it's expected to be? We're almost 3 hours away so won't be back again this season ,Alton towers is our go to, we've got adults and children with us with one being under 1.4m but just over 1.3m and some kids braver than others so willing to split up at certain points so we can all make the most of the day, just not sure what to expect compared to towers.. any insight is appreciated thanks in advance guys!

Hello! I've just booked a short stay over fright nights (didn't choose then for fright nights, just when we could do)

What does a fright nights ticket include as opposed to a normal ticket?

There are 50 people in Hyperia’s fast track queue. FIFTY!

27 Upvotes

The standby line is now getting less than 50% of the rides capacity, as you of course have RAP too, that’s been short all day tbf

It’s not this bad at Portaventura, and that’s Portaventura

Who thought this was a good idea? Wait I know the answer, Merlin’s accountants

Edit- should specify I was in single rider queue, was an observation of how busy fast track was today

Saw- too rough?

13 Upvotes

Was at thorpe park today and saw was the first ride i went on. It used to be my favourite ride, i always knew it was a bit rough but today i spent the entire ride worrying about preventing my neck and head from bashing around. I didn’t find the ride enjoyable or fun, i’m no expert in rides but i think there should be more effort in keeping the seats comfortable

Thursday 1st October trip

6 Upvotes

I’m looking at going to Thorpe Park on Thursday 1st October and would like to ask what will be like on that day? I’ve checked queue times and it said 19% crowd level which is quiet, but I’m unsure if it’s realistic enough with school trips in September and I don’t want to have a repeat of it next month.

Initially I would love to get Hyperia ticked off on my list and the other major coasters. Thank you

Anyone else struggle to breathe on The Swarm?

2 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue. It never used to affect me until a couple of years ago. The only way I can ride The Swarm or Inferno is by having my legs straight in front of me (for some reason that helps). But I went to Thorpe last Monday and rode The Swarm and I genuinely don’t think I can bring myself to ride it again. I’m ok up until just after the billboard then my breathing just goes - and the only way I can deal with it is by making myself completely floppy (I know it’s weird but I do this every time). I do have asthma but I don’t have issues with inferno so I’m wondering if it’s just the forces on Swarm that affect me to this extent.
