It's a good way of selecting a small group of people without having to sort out tickets. Plus people might book in a night just to try it, which is a plus for TP.

Regarding the 50 steps unaided, it doesn't mean that there won't be more walking, it just means that if there is an emergency, you will be up to 50 steps away from an emergency exit, to which you might have to get to unaided.

Am I the only one that feels that CITW is terribly executed? Giving the choice of way, and having so many doors (many which people try to open, yet can't as they are one way doors) just spoils the fun and fear, as it just clots the flow. Throughout the first half of the maze, the main concern of the people is to go to the control room, or to get out of the crouded corridors, and hope that you can do most of the remainder of the maze only in your small group, and that just distracts too much from the scare factor. Having said that, this year, the second half was mental, and had me screaming like a little girl. On another note, I reckon that if we push hard enough on it, Thorpe Belle might float away and end SA's days.

No one can resist to not opening spoiler tags. For example: Tbh, if you miss the control room, you aren't missing much. It either doesn't work, or there are about 30 people crammed in there.

RnR yesterday was pathetic! For the first few hours, and while it was working, all the rides were 'Ride now', despite then having to queue 45 minutes, which is ridiculous, the whole point of RnR is to not queue physically! RnR wasn't available on BWP, which was good! As the queue was only 25 minutes long! Apart from that, massive improvements in CITW and in BWP which were so much better than last year!

Just passed round the Arena, there seems to be a cover over some of MBV's containers. Will take a picture later. Apart from that, Samurai is dead, no train on Flying Fish, and most rides on 5 min queues, apart from Stealth and Swarm, at 45 and 35 minutes.

Which maze would you say is best for a backstage tour? Really don't know which one to book for...

Next weekend, 17th, 18th and 18th...What's stopping Thorpe Park from over-shooting with RnR? They could well alocate 150 people to a time slot, making the wait long for RnR, Fastrack AND normal queue... Hoping they don't...

They didn't. The owner of TPC is the guy on Instagram who posted the Studio 13 picture (****yofamz). I know/knew him well, and he happens to be quite a big liar. He does have a ride op friend at TP though, who probably sent him the picture.Trust me, I know him well.

I won't be appearing till about 13:00, so its not a problem! Would you mind me tagging along?

Hey, first post here! I was wondering if anyone would be interested on going to TP the 17th? I know there is a meeting the 19th, however I can't make it that day, and I have literally no one to go with! (my friend had to drop out of it) Can anyone make it? Really don't fancy spending the whole day alone! Cheers!

What a shame! I'm going the 17th! Do you know of anyone going? (my friend has had to ditch me on it) Cheers!

Hey, I'm new here! My name is Al, and my favourite theme park is Alton Towers. However I love Thorpe Park, too. I have been an enthusiast for nearly a decade! I particularly love the technical/backstage of rides!
