It does it to most of my friends on iPhones no idea why!

My phone does it

Towers fastrack Is the same as THORPE nowadays over sold and over priced, queues were similar to be fair... Didn't notice any difference between them on Sunday anyway apart from the 2 hours extra at tp

I thought that on Sunday when a reasonably busy Alton was closing its rides at 5 and I heard THORPE had extended theirs till 7. THORPE don't only spoil their guests with marketing!

Thorpe are not going to pay £1000's to create an advert which is a fairly big part of the ride experience to change it to adverts a few months later, ive no doubt there will be a reason for this and it will change back.

They also extended coasters to 5:30 to compensate for this, nice gesture

No, just closed off the last section by the looks of it, people can still queue under it, I hope they dont build anything like that either! To be fair, I dont see how thorpe can avoid it as the first part of the queue pretty much does the whole length of the launch!

Theyve replaced it before so I dont see why they wouldnt again

Its been like that since Ritas cable snapped.... even though you walk straight past the launch track in the queue and then queue under it.

For sure there is potential! But lets get 2012 fright nights over and done with first!!

It wont be as bad as it sounds, no doubt it reopened!

I dont see where else on park Se7en could go, the Time Voyagers building will still have all the seats and may well be used for a show, I cant see them ripping them all out for a maze.

From Thorpes FB I guess Se7ens gone then.....

Thorpe extend theirs quite often, but I guess in general like across the board hours are worse than last year so even if extending hours by 30 mins / hour its only the same as it was last year / slightly worse Hopefully next year will be abit better with budgets, but not too sure if I can see it being the case! Edit: Today (The first planned 5PM day has been extended till 6PM )

I guess the same reason as Alton? Thankfully thorpes open till 6, and they can extend open hours, even if its just a little bit when needed for the moment.

Ride and rave was only a one day concert event, is strange how as soon as times go from 7pm till 6pm the parks suddenly packed.

The biggest problem with fastrack being oversold is the fastrack queue gets so long, the staff are then left with the impossible task when they have a busting fastrack queue of people who have paid a fair amount for the privalage, making it impossible to give a fair fastrack / main queue ratio. The only real answer to it is to sell less, and by the looks of it far less.

Capacity?! No where near, fireworks were very quiet!

We're planning to send over some questions to the park regarding this development, so if you have any questions you would love to know the answers to please PM them to me and we will send them over to the park

Seems more a Merlin thing surely? The fact that people got excited the "UK's Number One theme park" will open past 4PM during September / October says alot. Agree its frustrating they close the ride for filming, maybe these comments are best passed on to the park, if enough people complain they will look at it.

Last year the annual pass preview wasnt really a preview day as such, it was just the only day of the event where standard / thorpe annual pass holders were let in for free, the park was still open as normal to guests. Thing is your friend would have to pay full price to get in!

I know that water has been switched back on now and seems to work fine, I'm not sure if they've fixed the problem with the fire lighting yet

Water and fire are working?

They are very different parks, but walking out the dome seeing some of the UK's tallest, fastest and most intense coasters from every corner of the eye is also pretty neat
