I went to thorpe park a few weeks ago and was expecting long queues- they were shorter than I expected! It was a Sunday and I didn't expect it to be like when I went in April and everything was 0 mins! I got quite annoyed when waiting to buy tickets because they only let us buy tickets at 10:30, we got into the park at 10:45 and went straight to saw! Saw said it had a queue time of 15 mins which we were impressed with and the wait turned about to be about 10 mins! I was disappointed because I sat on the back row and it was nowhere near as good as on the front row! We then went to nemesis, it said 15 mins but it was walk on so that was great! I love nemesis and it goes really fast at the front or the back and it makes you really dizzy afterwards! We then went to Colossus, the queue time was meant to be 20 mins but we had to wait 40 mins which annoyed us! This ride is getting rickety but I love it all the same! By this time it was something like 12:00 so we decided to head to vortex! Vortex was showing a 15 min queue but it was actually 30 mins! I like getting the highest point of the swings we then went to loggers leap which was a 10 min queue and got wet on that I love the air time on the bump! It was now about 1:00 so we ate lunch and then headed off for some more rides! If I remember rightly we did rumba rapids next which said 5 mins but was a 15 min wait and then went to rush! Rush was really fun as it was my first time on and we had to wait 30'mins for it though! We then went to X:/wtf I hate this ride as the Themeing is so poor and we had the lights on! We had to wait 30 mins for it! We then went to the fastrack kiosk and bought fastrack for swarm at 3:00 and stealth at 4:00! So it was almost 3:00 so we went to swarm and we used our fastrack! I had experience of the swarm being quite boring on the right in the middle but we sat left back and it was great- felt really fast! We then tackled the flying fish and a few other kiddy rides including the rocky express and quantum which was great and then it was time for stealth! We got to stealth and it was experiencing technical faults so he said we could use it up till when the queues closed at 5:00pm we went back to stealth at 4:30 after a ride on the teacups and it was in operation! We got on and had a great ride and as soon as we got off it broke again! We felt so lucky! We then went over to nemesis inferno and had a walk on ride and then went again as soon as we got on it broke down so we had to wait a good 15 mins for a ride operator to fix it! The lady said queues were open to 5:30 so we were hoping to get a ride on tidal wave! We had another good ride on the nemmy inferno and went to tidal wave, unfortunately all the rides queues had closed! We had a great day and queues weren't too bad! Ride count: Stealth- 1 Saw- 1 Swarm-1 Nemesis inferno-3 Colossus-1 Loggers leap- 1 Vortex- 1 Rush-1 Quantum-1 Rocky express-1 Flying fish-1 Teacups-1 Rumba rapids-1 X:/thingy-1 And maybe a few other which I forgot Slammer and samurai were closed and Colossus, stealth, nemesis and vortex broke down during the day

What do you think of the new carriages compared to the classic suspended swinging coaster car which vampire used to have?

1. Stealth 2. Nemesis 3. Saw the ride 4. The swarm 5. Oblivion 6. Colossus 7. Rush 8. Rameses revenge 9. Slammer 10. Nemesis inferno I think I've missed some out :/ like infusion

Left at the back is best I went on right in the middle and it bored me to death :/

Me either the swarms harnesses are fine also I love Colossus I wouldn't mind riding it for a while!

I would love to ride stealth for that long it would be amazing!

I would like to buy an annual pass on the day :/ but if it requires pre-booking I'm sure I could get around it! I hope it's not as busy as 2011!

I like ur thinking it's mine too loads of people said Valhalla is but I wanna see what the majority actually feel it is

I will get an annual pass next year! I am hoping for an empty annual pass day And for thorpe park to introduce ERT and I will be happy!

I get so freaked at the top- you cat hear the countdown and when it launches you down, you fly out of your seat!

Splashdown,Poole is the best water park I have been to in the UK, however I think alton towers could expand their water park to make it awesome and thorpe could build one too!

Hi guys what do you think the best water ride in the UK is?? Vote in the poll or comment below if you think it is none of the options in the poll! Thanks guys!

Thorpe park are bringing a temporary hotel, the crash pad next year- http://www.thorpepark.com/crashpad/?launch=1 This could mean ERT but I hope it's for annual pass holders too- I will be getting an annual pass probably!

Ok my advice, get an annual pass, they are like £150 pounds but the price of the theme parks of merlin these days are extremely high! If you are planning to visit the attractions 4-5+ then yes get one, if not then don't bother or you will end out losing money! Hope this helps! I will be getting an annual pass next year because thorpe parks entry has gone up to £45! It's so expensive!
