Hi all, I'm going on Saturday and wanted to know some stuff. First off, any tips? I'm going early so thats sorted, but anything about eating etc would be helpful. Second, how busy do you think it will be, like in queue times, and will I need fast track? Also, will there be actors in the SAW queue, or is this rarely done? And finally, wil Stealth be back up by then and what other rides will be closed? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, I went to Thorpe park with a friend in the Easter holidays, and because it was so cold we get to go again! When we went, he went on some rides, but not on others. I know that he will love it if he goes on, but I'm not sure how to persuade him... Thanks

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, I'm going to the annual pass day on Sunday and, just to get myself into the mood for the first day of the season, I started to browse through Thorpe Park's website.After looking on the 'Ride Photography' section I noticed that Detonator is now on the list. I don't ever recall being able to get photos on Detonator, and seeing it's now on the website, I've gathered you must be able to for the new season. Does anybody know any information/details about this?Thanks, Jack

I know it's very early days, but my friend told me at Annual Pass day yesterday (Sunday 13th March 2011), that one of the new flat rides was to open this year. I highly doubt this is true because of Storm Surge and LC12 but it got me thinking, does anybody know/have any ideas about what the flat rides will be and when they will open? They don't have to be entirely true by the way, just what you would like to see.Thanks, Jack

I know cameras are not allowed on rides but I know if you ask sometimes you can film. Who would I have to ask regarding filming the ride? I have a strap that locks onto my wrist so my camera could not fall off!

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how the annual UFT works? I assume you are provided with a separate pass to show at the FT booth to pick up the wrist band for the day? Hilarious and disturbing you still have to queue after spending £400.....

This might sound like a stupid question but tomorrow I am going to Thorpe with a friend and therefore won't have a parent to hold my bag/ phone. This means that I will have to hold my bag at all times in the park. However, on some rides like inferno and Colossus, there isn't any bag drop. What would you recommend I do with my phone (and bag) when I do rides because I really don't want my phone to be stolen?

Hi guys/girls. I have actually been thinking about getting a Thorpe Park annual pass for some time now but am really not sure weather it would be worth it. I have been researching all the various annual passes to find the prices and the best benefits, unfortunately most sources seem to say different things. So my question to you guys is, do you think it is worth getting an average Thorpe Park pass for the new year? I visit approximately three times a year though I could try and make it more if I were to have a pass. I live about an hour away so getting their is not easy. It could be difficult for me to find people to go with. Am unaware of the actual price for one a…

As I am visiting very soon in the Easter Holidays and I don't visit very often, what order of rides would you recommend?Would it be best to do the opposite side of the park to The Swarm first and then do The Swarm later in the day, or go to The Swarm first, or something completely different?Help is greatly appreciated.

I know that the majority of the major rides have bag storage areas where you hand your bag to the ride attendant in exchange for a wrist band, or you put them in a lockable cabinet (with Colossus). However, I was curious as to whether the water rides have this option? Last time I went, Loggers Leap never had a storage section. Is X also a problem as I haven't been since the refurb and haven't been on it in a LONG time.
