Quick Questions

Hi guys and gals, Have been lurking on these forums for a good while. I have just received confirmation on an audition and interview for fright-nights actor. Has anyone ever been to one of these or annother interview run by TP? Could anyone tell me some tips and or what to expect for one of these. If all goes well hopefully ill be there making your nightmares real!

So I went to Thorpe yesterday and found the queue times to be massively unreliable - some queue times showed 30 minutes but we queued for 10 minutes and some rides said 30 minutes and we queued for over an hour, I don't think there was a single ride with accurate an accurate queue time which made it really difficult to plan our day. Is this a normal occurrence or was I just unlucky on that particular day?

Hi, I'm going to Thorpe tomorrow with my brother. We've been to Alton Towers a fair few times but he's bored of there so wanted to go to Thorpe. We're going on a Sunday because I read in a few places that it's generally quieter than Saturdays. However with the weather and school holidays I expect it to be busy so looking for any tips to get as many rides as possible! Am I right that there are no SRQs and they push fastrack quite hard? We object to the idea of fastrack so will avoid it. At Alton it's fairly predictable which rides will be busy early morning/quiet late in the day etc. Are there any rides at Thorpe which stay busy all day? Recommendations for rides to get…

Hi all, Just wondering, if entering with a Merlin Annual Pass do you have to queue in a special queue to enter the park instead of the usual makeshift zig-zag queue set up at the beginning of the day. Also, can my non annual pass holder friends enter the same way as me with their regular tickets as I don't really want to split up from them. Many Thanks

When you are in Thorpe Park, can you but next day tickets at a reduced rate like you can at Alton Towers?

Hello, first of all I am Spanish, so sorry for my bad English I'm planning to visit Thorpe park on June, I can go from the 6th of june to the 11th, I don't matter when, but I have read that maybe in june, in week days there are a lot of school trips... is it true? Maybe it's better to go on Sunday, for example? I want to wait the less ques as possible. Thank you very much.

Hi I'm a manual wheelchair user planning to visit Thorpe Park for the first time in a couple of weeks. What is the access like around the site? I.e. how hilly is it? are the rides far apart? I've been to Alton Towers a couple of times and I think their ride access passes are the same aren't they? The website says that the ride access pass is issued to anyone with medical evidence of why they can't queue. Are any of the queue line areas wheelchair accessible? Because I can queue like anyone else if I can fit in the place where you're meant to queue, and it doesn't take me up steps etc... If the queue areas aren't accessible then presumably evidence that I have to use a…

Hi all, Was wondering how much the model of the Swarm Ride car is and which stores on park it's available from. (The Model in Question) Thanks

Does any one know how to claim the prize from thorpe I came sixth which won me two tickets

hi guys - how are the fright nights at thorpe? thinking of attending the one later this year. I guess there busy - but how are the ride queues? really want to do a halloween event at either alton or thorpe - thorpe is generally easier for me to travel to

Hi, I went to Thorpe park a couple of weeks ago and I had heard that the queue boards had been moved or something? As we went around the park I kept an eye out for them but I couldn't see any of them. Not sure where they are. Maybe I'm just blind or something. Thanks.

Bit of a long shot, but does any member on here happen to know the best phone number for Thorpe Park to get through quickly? I'd be very grateful if someone could PM it to me, should they know it. Thanks.

This is actually to do with my chessie trip on the 15th but it also applies to the thorpe bounceback aswell so I thought I would post it here: If you buy a bounceback ticket(anytime) can your friend use it instead if you or is it named etc? Thanks James

Theme Park Guide are claiming that Thorpe will receive park wide WiFi this year and this is not an April fools joke. Has anyone else heard this or is there an official press release on this?

So Thorpe park are advertising that the Mend are playing tonight 8pm in the dome, I don't know who they are but I am more interested in seeing whether or not anyone can go to this entertainment. Even those not staying at the crash pad...and if there is a cost. Who's excited about watching The Mend play live tonight at THORPE PARK? Like · · Share 54 people like this. Ravey Davey What time?? Can I get in on my Merlin pass?? Like · Reply · 1 · 22 minutes ago via mobile THORPE PARK Official Hi Ravey, last Admission is 7pm tonight. Merlin passes are accepted. Interesting.....

Can annual pass holders now get into the park early because they have the crash pad now like you can at Alton Towers?

Hi guys - how easy is it to travel to and from Thorpe from London in terms of public transport? I'm heading to London to do all the touristy stuff later this year and would love to throw a nice trip in. Would any of you have any advice how to get from London to Staines, then to thorpe? Also in terms of accommodation - if we wanted to stay 2 days at Thorpe would you recommend we stay in london and travel each day or stay within Staines itself. The new thorpe hotel box things are a option as well - but fairly expensive! Thanks for your help!

How much is the ORP pass this year if anyone knows? and how many photos/keyrings/magnets do you get for it this year? last year it was £20 for 5 which I think was pretty good! thank you to anyone who replys

Hi everyone, I am planning on visiting this weekend with a 2 hour journey and was wondering what rides are usually affected by cold temperatures as the forecast is predicting temperatures of 1 -3 degrees throughout the day? Do any rides not open at all or does Thorpe usually manage to open all rides by the end of the 8 hour day? I've never been to Thorpe in the cold before so am anxious about my friends getting to ride everything. Many Thanks

I'm really wary of leaving my bag in theme parks whilst on ride. It's okay when they have wristbands and lockers to pickup your stuff at the end, but for some rides, you just chuck your possessions in a box. If I wore a bum bag (The fitted ones round the hip) would I still be asked to take it off on rides or would I be able to get away with it?

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.

Hey guys as some of you know I contribute to another online forum Pleasure beach experience that's dedicated to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and what comes up a lot on there recently is that supposedly Thorpe Park had a bad year in 2012 and that The Swarm was a failure? http://www.pleasurebeachexperience.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=58409#p58409 Having not heard anything official if there anything about a bad year? I just wondered your thoughts and if someone could maybe give me any insight into what there claiming?

Was anyone else held up by Liam and his "chums" on opening day? Although there were no queues for anything, the only waiting around was when him and his mates wanted to ride alone and stop the ride a few times to go maybe twice in a row... The park was so empty he basically had free reign with no hassle from any fans! although towards the afternoon people realised he was there and he was getting hounded a bit. It just seemed that every bloody ride we went on, he had already got there first holding up the ride for 15/20 mins! All in all had a great day though, never seen Thorpe so empty! went on everything far too many times!

I will be going tomorrow and can't wait! Bit gutted that X isn't open, as I always go on that first, I'll have to re-think my strategy! ha ha ! Hopefully the rides will all be open first thing and its not too cold! suppose to be up to 10 degrees and sunny tomorrow! Em x

Hi, I'm quite a large female, but also on the shorter side and was wondering about the chest/thigh restrictions on Thorpe Park Rides. I've been to Flamingo Land in Yorkshire many times and had no worries about fitting in rides at all and not even needed help from the workers. But there seems to be a lot about size restrictions and people being turned down in Thorpe Park, even if they are below the restriction of 51 inches stated on the website. So was just wondering if anyone has been on any rides in Flamingo Land (as this is my most recent experience; and I went on them all - Kumali, Mumbo Jumbo etc) with no problems at all. Don't know if I'm just worrying for no reaso…
