    I'm thinking of getting an premium annual pass next year and I see it says you can take 3 guests for £10? How would I take advantage of that offer?

    Hey all, I'm planning a trip to go this friday, which obviously comes under their "Advanced booking only" policy and I had a few questions.First off, if I have an annual pass will I still have to book in advanced? It would come in handy anyway because I won't have to queue to pay the £5. If so how do I go about doing this?Secondly, does anyone know if I can still get the Family & Friends discount on these days? I know pretty much every other 241 of half price ticket is invalid that day, so I was wondering if this was also the caseThanks in advanced.

    I bought a Annual Pass today online and I have two questions. is a bus pass an acceptable form of ID to pick it up (it has my photo on) and also When I collect it at the park can I get it on the day I pick it up and start using it or do I have to fill out forms and have my photo taken on the day and then get my pass a few weeks later??

    Sooo, whilst I appreciate the Great British Weather (or should I say, the Great British Weather Forecast People) is/are forever changing their minds; the forecast for this weekend is looking pretty abysmal. Phone app was predicting high winds, MetOffice is predicting snow showers... I've been on park before when the bad weather policy has been in place, and literally nothing was running (quantum was the only open ride I could be bothered with, and we already know that will not be running this weekend, weather permitting or not). If the weather is that bad this weekend, what will they do? Just activate the policy, reschedule etc.? Something tells m…

    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.

  8. Hi, I am very much new to these forums so sorry if I miss anything, I purchased three thorpe park annual passes at around the start of january (which the thorpe park shop website said would be delivered in 2 weeks) , I have been constantly emailing asking about the location, with each reply having some automated “passes will be sent out before the 23rd” reply. I am just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if it is just me, I wouldn’t want to miss out on the start of the season thanks

    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

    Hi all, Is there any way to guarantee my entry tomorrow if I have an annual pass? I think I remember it not guaranteeing entry. Thanks.

    I have decided to start with a monthly annual pass as think this is a great idea to help split the cost over the year. I remember them running a similar scheme before but sadly it stopped very suddenly. Anyway my question for you guys is is there anybody who had a monthly one before and did they let you continue this even after it was no longer publicly available or were you then sent back to buy full priced ones?

    Hi, just a quick question here. I will be visiting the AP preview on thursday and have a booked place and ticket. I was wondering if they look at both your ticket and your pass or just your ticket. My reason being that I dont want loads of non ap holders turning up on the night who have tickets(as you didn't need your pass number to book), therefore increasing wait times. If anyone went last year and could tell me roughly how the event ran as a whole it would be really appreciated.

    So I'm 16 and was planning on buying an annual pass on Saturday online for a visit on Tuesday. Is there a designated area you're supposed to go and collect it? Also, what will I need to bring? I am buying it using my own card. My friend is buying a normal ticket online, will I still be able to queue with him? Final question lol, how long will it take to get the pass sorted with getting my picture etc, I assume once they take a pic, they print out the pass straight away? thanks

    Me being the silly goose I am have only just realised that my Merlin Pass runs out on Thursday. I'm going to Fright Nights on Saturday and have a pre-booked ticket but I need to bring a valid Merlin Pass along with me for entry. Does anybody know if the AP office opens 10:00 at Thorpe just like the gates because I was planning to arrive there for about half 9 and it would be great if I could pick up my renewed pass at about that time. I know it's not the appropriated place, but to save me making a new topic does anybody also know if the office at The London Eye is open on Sundays because I could actually renew it online now and pick it up there tomorrow instead if that i…

    I should be getting a Thorpe Annual Pass in a few weeks but the renewal seems to cost more than buying the pass brand new, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Merlin Annual Passes. Does anyone know why this is? The answer is probably blindingly obvious but it's always confused me haha.

  19. Hi all, My annual pass will be expiring in less than a months time and I was wondering what the best and cheapest way would be to renew it. I currently hold a premium pass, but due to greater expenses this year may have to downgrade to a standard which is something I don't really wish to do because it would mean paying for parking and £5 every time I visit a fright night. I wish to pay at least 30% less than full price, what's the best way to get pass reductions at this time of year?

    Got a while yet til it needs renewing (January) but I've just had a thought and out of interest would like to know... so basically we got the Premium annual passes in the january sale which as a family of 3 adults allowed us to get them what worked out £99each... So if one of us wants to renew, does that mean all 3 of us have to, or is the renewal price quite expensive, and you just buy a pass in the january sale? I'm a bit confused really as it's the first merlin pass I've had.. any help would be appreciated

    Annoyingly I left my annual pass at uni and do plan on going to TP during the holidays. When getting your pass reprinted, do you need to know your pass ID? Because I have no idea what it is. Also I purchased mine online around November last year and don't remember if I assigned it to an attraction (it would've probably been TP if I had assigned it) and the confirmation email doesn't suggest anything. So will I be able to get my pass reprinted at TP?
