Wouldn't read anything atall into the theme - it's just a place holder of how it could look - I imagine we will see more plans maybe at later date!

I never got bored of riding things like Escape from Gringotts and Transformers at Universal - dark rides can be a truly amazing experence - feel this is exactly the type of attraction the park are crying out for.

Really exciting times - we've cried out for a decent dark ride for years and I've every confidence that Thorpe will be able to deliver this. The building is pretty huge so who knows what could be inside. I'm sure some will be glad to know the plans detail a Single Rider queue too!

Of the many thousand of visitors , the complaints on Facebook are quite a small percentage.

Looking at queue-times website isn't really a good indication on what rides are down and how long for, it depends on how often the queue-times website updates its data and of course how often thorpe park update the queue boards.

Thats an idea if its valid on these dates. If not can only recommend you turn up as early as possible and keep an eye on the parks social media for updates.

As the park will say, id make sure you pre-book if your not planning to get there for opening.

Gates are closed again for today - Only Pre-Booked tickets will be aloud entry.

The argument of those who pay more get a better service has been gone over and over again, and in some respects your right, those who are happy to part with more cash are going to get a better service, but this is hardly exclusive to Thorpe Park or even the Theme Park industry as a whole. Whilst you are right, £5 per ride is a fair amount of money, the packages offer much better value for money, if anything its the packages prices they could do with increasing IMO.

I don't think they are telling people they need fastrack, certainly they promote it more than other parks though. I guess its about your perception of what fastrack is - if the fastrack queue is an hour but the main queue is 2 hours plus, to me I see the value of fastrack its its more than halved my wait time - and again they haven't said its NEEDED for a good day. Your right though - fastrack wont ever go unless theres a dramatic change in the way the GP visit the parks, to people like us who visit regular fastrack is something we dont see the value in, for a guest visiting on their only trip of the year I expect the perception is quite different.

A business promoting its product on-line?! What ever next!

Yesterday was very busy - was there for around 3 hours and got on X, Slammer, Rumba and Depth Charge , waited around 30 min max Sure it's busy - but it's certainly not as bad as people on fb saying they only got on 2 rides all day!

THORPE PARK Resort has now reached capacity for Fright Nights today - only prebooked tickets will be permitted entry to the Resort. Due to high demand, we strongly advise booking online to guarantee your entry to Fright Nights for the remainder of the week. http://bit.ly/fright-nights From Thorpes FB.

Why would buying fastrack make guests idiots?

It's on 2 trains - just a very busy day!

If it's annoying for you imagine what its like for the park! To be fair the rides what, 15+ now, been ran way more than its ever designed to be , I can't see them buying a new topscan just to have all the same issues.

The work started is pretty minimal- I'm sure Thorpe have a fairly good idea what they could install without issue before applying for permission.

Yep it is

Can we keep discussion on topic please and away from who's right and wrong

Feedback from guests using the system is much more valuable than Somone sat at home moaning about it

Arena+ Fungle + X?? and you could easily add Slammer to that list is a massive part of the park if they are really thinking of removing X.

Why would you want to reserve rides from home? I'm sure idiots sat at their computers with nothing better to do booking rides from home are a large part of the issue!

I guess thate the million dollar question - with everyone using it you would expect the virtual queues to be longer - but on the flip side the allocations would be significantly higher than they can be with a standby queue. Personally if I was Thorpe after these trials I'd stick it on one maze and make it the only way to get on that attraction - do fastrack through it too, then they will get a true idea of how it will work.

Whilst you was sat at home slagging them off I sss at the park using the system you keep saying Is a failure, If it wasn't for the system I wouldn't have got on half the mazes I would have done - I don't see how you can argue with that?

When you login and activate your reserve n ride for the day you tell the system how many are in your group
