Quick Questions

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

Does anyone know what other Resin models there are other than the Stealth and THE SWARM ones? if there are any others,does anyone have any pictures and how much are the other resin models? Thanks

Where is the best place to stay near to Thorpe?

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

Quick recap: I am honeymooning to Ireland and England in May and I am a roller coaster fan, and my fiance is a Harry Potter fan. We have a crazy idea for May 9th (Tuesday) and I am wondering if anyone can help us figure out if this idea is possible. I know it isn't the best (more time can be spent at each place), but we are limited on time. Anyway... 08:45am: Land in Heathrow (from Cork, Ireland) 12:00pm: Thorpe Park 04:00pm: Warner Brothers Studio Tour (Harry Potter) 1.) Is is possible to get to Thorpe Park by noon? We land at 8:45 am at Heathrow, but I saw online where passport control isn't necessary when coming from Ireland. We p…

Heya,I really want to become a ride-host for THORPE PARK.I have a few questions:How do you become one?How old do you have to be?What qualifications do you need?Thanks

I also want to buy my ride photos but don't really want the physical copy. I know you can get the download with a print but it costs like £6. I wish they sold digital downloads for like £3 odd quid as I'm sure most people would buy this and they would make money of it... Sorry if there is something like this already couldn't find anything

I've just been given a barcode with no printing option. Do I take a picture of it? Print screen and print it?

Now it's summer and the queues are getting so much longer, what can you do in the queue while it#s a long boring wait? and what should Thorpe park do for guests waiting?

Hi all, The response I've gotten from Thorpe park via facebook message has been a bit mixed on this question, at first they said yes and also said 'should be ok' but that's not really enough certainty to travel down on! We have tickets online brought using the Kellogg's 241 code thing. The T&Cs are below, would you say that the 8th October as a fright night date would be ok? The part that worries me is the 'and any events across all attractions' despite them not stating this date in the exclusions. "Offer EXCLUDES: 21st October – 31st October 2016 at THORPE PARK Resort, every Friday and Monday until Sunday 27th March 2016 and 29th –…

Hi everyone, I'm aware of how height restrictions work and I know you need to be 1.4 for extreme thrills etc, but is there a point where you are too tall to get on certain rides? I remember reading somewhere that Stealth has a height limit of 1.9 (and I'm rapidly aproaching that) but I wasn't too sure if this was true... Thanks in advance, and hopefully there isn't a point where I will be too tall to go on certain rides and Thorpe

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

Are Thorpe continuing with the guarantee this year? They have a page on the website but all the dates refer to last year..... I ask because I'm going this Monday and the forecast isn't great :/

During my last visit I noticed some new 'pathway' by stealth and I was wondering what it was.... Your ideas?

Hi all I'm either going to thorpe park alone or if someone will allow me to hangout with them as I haven't got any friends or family that will go , I'm hoping someone will allow me to hang with them I'm 33 and bubbly female

I know this is a stupid question.... as I already know the answer but just wanted to clarify with everyone elseI'm quite a big broad guy 6 foot 2 with a 46inch chest and my waist is about the same, will I have any struggles getting on the rides?

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?

Might sound like an odd question but I was wondering if anybody knows how much Thorpe Park engineers get paid. I am looking to do a career with mechanical engineering in the future and was wondering if Thorpe was a good idea or not. I know I'll enjoy it because working with machines and rides is what I enjoy doing, but I don't want to set my goal as an engineer there just to find out I'll be payed a fraction of minimum wage, which I expect Merlin get away with . Any info as to other wages there might help as well so I can get an idea of how much they pay generally for work. Thanks.

Greetings all! So I've been a long time lurker on these forums and am currently planning some theme park trips in the Summer for next year and was wondering whether an annual pass would be efficient for my situation. Not really a quick question but from lurking on these forums for so long and from what I've seen you guys are pretty good with questions and I wasn't sure of where else I would post this Okay to the point! Myself and 2 others all above 18 at this point want to visit Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and possibly various other Merlin attractions like the dungeons, legoland, Tussauds etc in the end of June start of July time period and probably various other visits…

Is there no single rider for anything in 2012 except Stealth ?Am planning to go Sunday again yet only if there is single riders, I did not notice the other week when I went

I am going to Thorpe Park tomorrow, yay!I had just convinced myself to go on the SAW ride (I hate horror films) and plucked the up the courage when I found out that because of the SAW ALIVE fire, actors had moved to the queue of the coaster.This has completely put me off, I hate the idea of SAW ALIVE because of gory make up, pigmasks and people jumping out at you, so now to have this on the ride has completely freaked me out.So my question is..Will they were there tomorrow? Will they be there only at the peak times of the day? I am guessing the park won't be too busy tomorrow so I am more likely to get picked on by the actors. This is really worrying me!Also, what do they…

Here's an interesting question, not that I'd expect anyone to actually ever know the answer to it (!), I'm visiting with a friend on Friday who I last visited Thorpe with last August who suffers from migraines. On our last visit, she had a severe migraine come on around half way through the day and had to go home. At the start of the day we'd managed TWD, Stealth, Swarm and Vortex. Around halfway through the day, we rode Saw, Rush and then Zodiac in very quick succession. I suspect Zodiac may have pushed her over the edge. We're giving it another shot this Friday, I've been thinking what order we could do the rides in to go from least-migr…

Just wondering how many times you've been Thorpe Park this year so far... and your favourite ride! I've been 8 times since May been trying to go at least once/twice a month as its "me" time since having a baby last year, and being back to work and my daughter in nursery I take the opportunity to book a day's holiday and leave my daughter at nursery and then come to Thorpe Park for the day! Its my hobby I guess ha ha ha ! I decided I should really get an AP (as I was finding it difficult to find the 2 for 1 all the time!)so I did with my 18,000 nectar points I'd had saved so am going even more since having this last month! My favourite ride still has to be stealth even…

Hey guys, so I have a premium annual pass (merlin) and I am taking 2 friends to thorpe park on the second of september. I booked tickets through the family and friends passholder perk, and we bought fastpasses. I wasnt aware that chessington had early ride times, but they bought it up. I now know that both chessington and Alton towrs have ERT, but I was wondering if thorpe park does, and if (through the way I booked the tickets) my friends can have it too? Thanks!
