[Annual pass questions]

So I'm 16 and was planning on buying an annual pass on Saturday online for a visit on Tuesday. Is there a designated area you're supposed to go and collect it? Also, what will I need to bring? I am buying it using my own card. My friend is buying a normal ticket online, will I still be able to queue with him? Final question lol, how long will it take to get the pass sorted with getting my picture etc, I assume once they take a pic, they print out the pass straight away?

 

thanks

thank you very much guys

 

 

oh and one last question, how exactly does reserve n' ride work? I understand the overall concept. Do you queue through the exit or is there a special queue?

Have a giggle to yourself about all the unfortunate losers who are stuck at school and work while you're at Thorpe Park. That should give you some happy feels. 

 

haha yeah, very happy feels

 

another question I have is, has anyone been on detonator? It doesn't look too thrilling to me, is it worth waiting ages for?

It really does depend it has been changing so much recently in the space of one week they have taken elements out and added some in

 

I would say at the moment though it is a really great attraction and is good fun! Definitely massivly improved from the first month of opening

 

But all of that is only valid if you don't queue for it .. I share the same view with this as I do with Storm Surge, If you queue it is the worst and pointless if you don't it is good fun

 

haha I gt

On thursday I aimed to do Stealth then Inferno followed by IAC in the morning when there was no queues. It works well for IAC as you won't queue for it and actors should be on top form as it is the beginining of the day!

 

After this I would go for Colossus but bare in mind the path at the back of Thorpe is shut meaning it is a longer walk from Inferno to Colosusususussussss

thanks, only just heard about this IAC thing, love the show though, is it any good?

I'd normally recommend going to Colossus then Saw, but seeing as Saw is closed it may be better to go for Stealth and Inferno first and get a couple of rides on them. Try and get there for 9:30 as they aim to get the gates open for then so you'll get on a few things without queueing.

 

Try and make use of reserve and ride in the morning as well as not many people will know about it early, so queues will be minimal. 

 

thanks for speedy reply, I'll do as you say, cheers

School trips are in full flow at the moment, I counted at least 40 coaches in the car park on Friday but a Monday might be quieter?

 

just the thought of that makes me wanna smash my head on the wall. Hopefully it'll be quieter, don't wanna be dashing kids too far across the park

[When do school trips start?]

If they haven't already, I'm going this Monday and expect it to be busy, but how busy will it be? I'm gonna try get there early and I'm pretty sure the reserve n' ride system wil be being tested out then so I'll use that.

 

What's the best ride order to go on excluding saw

 

Also in queues for rides I'm terrified even though I enjoy it, anyway to get around from shi**ing myself in the queue?

 

thanks, think this is in the right section
