Quick Questions

Anyone know why swarm island was just evacuated?

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!

Hi, I'm going to Thorpe Park this Sunday with my best mate for his birthday, but he is unsure on whether or not to go because there is a chance of rain. Are there any rides that are likely to become unavailable because of this?Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question but its deciding whether we go on Sunday or not.

I didn't really know where to post this question, but I really want to know when these Mania's will be up and running.

Where is it exactly?

Does anyone know what font Thorpes logo is in. Thanks in advance.

Do Thorpe do the above? Going on free Sun Tickets in November with family, but we have tickets for 3rd, other family have tickets for 2nd. Will they be able to get return tomorrow tickets from the Sun free tickets? Newbie member, long time lurker. Cheers in advance for any info.

Hey guys, Does anyone know what these tunnels are? I know they're slightly obscured when riding and haven't a clue why they're there or what they're used for? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d1095!2d-0.5113938!3d51.4008537!2m1!1e3&fid=7

This may be pointless to some, however in the past few days I have purchased and received my McLaren t-shirts for the 2012 F1 season, and when I got the shirts I looked at them and felt the shirts (with little tweaks) would really suit Thorpe Park staff, is not all the Merlin Theme parks! If you look at the shirt you can see its 100% polyester, so it’s comfortable and cool (summer obliviously) I was thinking that the Wight shirt would be perfect for ride staff and general staff. It may seem crazy, but let me give you a run down;http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=mclaren+shirts+2012+front+and+back&hl=en&gbv=2&biw=1024&bih=571&tbm=isch&tbnid=zOiKrErYAm…

Hi guys How many people have got these? I'm going on Sat 2 Nov with a group of us (6) and I'm worried about the 2 hour long queues being half term and the last Saturday fright nights is running. Has anyone been after Halloween is it generally quieter or is it manic? I'm happy to get the directors cut fast track but does it really have to be from 3pm? Was hoping to get there a little later because of getting the fast track lol Also anyone who has had these on a busy night how long did you wait maximum to get on the maze? X Thanks!

Hi, relatively new here so if this is in the wrong place, sorry! I should be visiting Alton Towers this weekend and am hoping to ride The Smiler for the first time. I am aware of Single Rider, is this the quickest way to get on? As it is a summer weekend, I suppose it will be rather busy so the main queue could be quite long. Thank you!

We will be visiting soon on a 1 day ticket, just wondering if we can leave stuff in the car (picnic / dry clothes etc) and then go back to car park to bring in when required? Previously I have had annual passes so wasn't an issue! thanks

I was just wondering how the park can justify only discounting concession prices on a 1 day online ticket by £2 to £22.99, that seems a bit steep considering MOST elderly people who go there aren't going for the rides, they are usually with a family and are there for people too young as company or just to spend a day with grand-kids etc. Does anyone else think they should offer a highly discounted ticket for people who will not be going on the rides such as the elderly or others and make them them wear something like a wristband so they cannot get on the rides? Seems like it would be fairer for those people.

I wasn't sure where to put this so, I put it in quick questions. Here are 17 pictures of rides that have been closely zoomed in. (I took these myself) Guess what ride it is and respond below!! 1) ------------------------------------------ 2) ----------------------------------- 3) ---------------------------------- 4) ---------------------------------- 5) ------------------------------- 6) ----------------------------------- 7) ------------------------------------------- 8) -------------------------------- 9) -------------------------------- 10) -------------------------------- 11) -------------…

Hey. I'am currently trying to purchase either a Thorpe Park/Alton Tower T shirt or hoodie for someone, but was wondering if there was any way I could get one online. I would usually try and get one from the park itself but I doubt I am going there until later this year and by then, it would be too late. I know this is very unlikely, but I thought it may at least be worth a shot. Thanks.

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

We've just bought two annual passes and were thinking about going to the Fright Nights for the first time. 1. Can we just turn up on the nights or is there some special way to get annual pass tickets for them? 2. How much do they cost, or are they free?

I was wondering if there are group annual passes for Thorpe or merlin ones for all attractions , I'm looking for one for 4 adults so that I can show one pass. Is there any passes like this that I can purchase instead of me and my friends purchasing all single annual passes because it seems a expensive way .And do they run from season to season ie march till November or loop over to next year .

Received this in the post today!I think it's a great move by them, plenty of news on the new attractions and what you can get with your pass!Good read aswell!

Hello,I have questions about platinium vip package. What Is The "Dedicated VIP host" and "Unlimited front of the line Ride and maze access"

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.

Does Stealth or Ghost Train have set opening days or times? I live 350 miles away from Thorpe Park so it's an expensive trip out for us with hotel stay needed. We have been three times now and each time Stealth was closed and on the last visit Ghost Train was closed too.

So I'm hoping to visit Thorpe park mid July. I'm: 5ft5 42G (bra size) 18 stone Would I fit on some/most rides? I'm a manual wheelchair user, have been for years, and currently having chemo which means I'm on steroids which means they put on weight. ALOT of weight. I hate it, but in this weather I really want to visit Thorpe park. So, would I fit? Quick replies would be hugely appreciated!

I know that Stealth, Slammer and Zodiac is run by one team of staff, does anyone know all the others?

Hi guys I'm looking for things to do, shopping, restraunts, other nice things around Thorpe Park so that my mum can go off and do her own thing whilst I'm at Thorpe. If anyone knows anything I'd love to hear. Thanks THORPELAW
