Quick Questions

Right, so instead of endless topics asking us how busy the park is going to be, instead here is a rough guide to the kind of business the park/s should be expecting this season. It's not set in stone and remember business can be effected by weather, ride reliability, mount of trains/cars on the rollercoasters, amount of staff working on things, fastrack etc etc etc!10am - 5pm Weekday. Likely to be very empty, particularly in term time. Queue time should be minimal (Unless your name is Stealth and you have a stupid system where you can only load 4 in the first, 8 in the second and then you end up rolling back anyway etc etc) 10am-5pm Weekend. Will be emptyish, however lik…

Hi all, I was just having a look at the thorpe website and I've noticed a feature on it. https://www.thorpepark.com/tickets-passes/ticket-information/ When you click on tickets the options come up, RESERVE N RIDE, is the last on the list however risk still there. However, when you click on it, it comes up with an error message! My question is mainly aimed at thorpe however it takes a while to do a direct message to them so I was wondering if anyone knew if they had plans to bring back the system? Many thanks.

Welcome to the Fastrack topic. Discuss anything relating to Fastrack here...To start of, Will Rush, Slammer and Samurai be having Fastrack this season? And will Unlimited Fastrack be on sale?

Whilst no actual leaflet with all this year's info has been produced, it seems new rulings are on the website:http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/disabled-guide.aspxNear the bottom, where it's got 'Helpers / Companions', we've got this:"Only one helper per disabled guest can use the access pass on any of our THORPE PARK rides and attractions."The entire section seems to be written as if there can only be 1 helper on a ride as well. Under Ride Access higher up, it says something about for safety reasons about the number of disabled guests, blah blah blah, you may have to divide into smaller groups - which is impossible if there's only 2 people, which could mean that…

I've seen many example of bad guests at Thorpe Park, but who do you hate/dislike the most? Examples could be chavs, queue jumpers, queue smokers, ect. Any good storys would be fun to read

I went on the 20th July and was looking up at detonator taking a picture , then about 2m from me a man's coins flew out of his pocket and almost hit me on the head.(from the nemmie lift hill) I wondered whether I should tell anyone but didn't, and I got 2p out of it as well.I just wondered if anyone had experienced something like this

I know most travel from all over the place and majority pay on day... But does anyone think Annual Pass holders, should be allowed on the Thorpe Park bus for free?

HiI really want to apply to Thorpe Park, and I notice that applications are currently open. I am 15 at the moment although I will be 16 in June. Am I allowed to apply now and then if I get an interview would I be permitted to specify that I'd be able to work part-time during the summer period (I'll be 16 then)?

When I say all to yourself, I mean literally the only person on the ride.So far I've had:SlammerTidal WaveSAW - The RideSamuraiYou have to visit on a quiet day for this!

I have an enquiry which requires attachments on an email to send to the park, which their website does not offer - Does anyone know the customer services email?

Just wanted to get an idea of how many of us are going... I'm defo going and have booked my tickets!

Hi there everyone, I am planning to write a letter to Thorpe Park & Merlin in hope of Storm Surge's top frame to be themed. I think we can all agree it would improve the look of the ride & help it blend in with Amity Cove.After recent petitions on TowersTimes to remove the Fanta sponsership being so succesful I think it is worth a try. The frame currently looks very bare & sticks out like a sore thumb. Let's try and help the ride blend in better beccause I myself feel it lets the rest of the park down.http://www.fotowhizz.com/thorpe/stormsurge003/023.htmhttp://www.fotowhizz.com/thorpe/stormsurge003/015.htmPlease State your name and a comment including suggesti…

We have taken our love for the place by joining this forum more than most guests they go to THORPE PARK, enjoy there day then move on with their lives however for me I have so much fun there that I have to get my THORPE PARK fix a few times a year and love looking at THORPE PARK videos, pics and listening to the audio even though I have been to the park 5 times this year dispite living nearly 3 hours away but all I can say is its a big part of my life I live for fun! What about you guys?

Have Thorpe Park announced anything about a 2013 Annual Pass Preview day? I know you can buy the merlin passes on the day at a discounted price, but what month is the preview day usually around? Thanks.

From my first visits to fright nights this year and discussions with employees the normal level of security has been decreased around the mazes and particullary the rear of the park. ( Monks Walk ) Now dont get me wrong from literally 100's of visits over the years I'm not saying that we all risk death! lol but the invasion of the chavs and rude boys that we always see to increase this time of the year ultimatly will ruin things for those true customers like ourselves! I saw no visible security like in previous years ( normally blokes in black jackets etc ) around the entrances of the mazes, just 17 year old girls in high viz! Now what on earth could they do if / when it …

GOOD POINTS: - The rides and themeing of course! The best in the UK IMO- The view from the entrance is breathtaking being able to see almost all the rides in there glory is amazing!- The staff are very friendly and make the day out even more enjoyable - The fact that the park is on an island it makes it very different and is more magical IMO than a park such as Alton Towers that is set in huge woodland. BAD POINTS: - The park can get VERY busy I think THORPE PARK should allow less numbers in on peak days.- Ride breakdowns are very common at the park however this improved ALOT in 2009! So hopefully 2010 will be even better!- Colossus REALLY needs a re-paint!Despite its ba…

Okay, the reason why I am asking this is because I had a sketchy experience regarding queue jumpers at the queue in saw the ride at Thorpe park.... So I got really annoyed at these people who where pushing past saying that their 'friends were just over there'. I confronted them telling them they couldnt go past because you werent allowed to do such thing and that she was with her friends and they werent ahead. So she pushed ahead and waited until their was a fence between us until she threatened me that if I didn't shut up she would slap me and 'do me in'.. So I called a member of staff and by then I couldnt spot her in the queue. Then I spotted her at the end of the ride…

Are the morning checks random? I saw a man protesting because he couldn't run to stealth

I've only ever used single rider queues at Alton Towers and I think they're great! I never went to Thorpe park at the time when they were using the single rider ques for some of the rides. Every time I've seen or asked why they got rid of it they've always said people misused it. I just saw this on Facebook replying to someone. How were people misusing the system? The system is for people who are willing to ride alone, I don't see how it can be misused? Also how did this lead to slowing down the queue for everyone else?

Hi Everyone Just been got back from Thorpe Park today, and the car parking is now £4!!! every year it goes up another pound Just thought id let you know

Was just wondering if anyone knew about the floods regarding their effect on THORPE PARK, it looks pretty bad in that are and I'm surprised it hasn't already seen some damage but there's more on the way :/ that lake must be awful high by now :/

Hi everyone, I was planning to visit thorpe in the busiest week of summer when they are trailing reserve and ride. I was also looking forward to the sunscream event as I went last year and there was some nice entertainment on but it appears that it isn't returning? Can anyone confirm this as it would be a shame to have no entertainment in the busiest week of the year! Thanks to all.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a TV advert for 2014 and if there is already is there a link
