Thanks JoshC!

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know when the annual ultimate fastrack will go on sale for 2020?
-
I was on park yesterday. Stealth has been closed since last week and is not going to be back up any time soon due to new parts required.
Apparently Thorpe have recently fired the AM engineer for Swarm, as such they can not operate it until the PM engineer is on site at 16:00 (whom lives far away).
Make of it what you will, but sure enough Swarm opened bang on 16:00, with only one car and an immediate 2 hour queue line.

I came to ask the same question @Ivsetti!! I remember she opened late last season... hopefully she will be back next month!

I believe you collect the pass and you just simply show the pass at each Fastrack ride. Given they've moved towards scanning Fastrack tickets, it would make the most sense.
One would hope that the Fastrack pass has your name / photo on it so you don't need to collect a wristband every time. Or at the absolute most you have to show it along with your Annual Pass..
It's probably best to message the park directly to confirm though. I imagine it's a very niche product so they're probably tweaking the rules to suit the few who go for it.
Thank you JoshC, appreciated.

Thorpe better than Europa Park and Disney?
I personally think the idea of an Annual fastrack ticket is pretty ridiculous, but if people will buy it then Thorpe will sell it!
Why yes, you're right, instead of spending £400 at Thorpe, that's just down the road; I'll buy a pass so that I can go to Germany every weekend and queue up. That's actually pretty great value... ?

If you visit often enough and don’t want to queue £400 is a good price for ultimate fastrack all season to be fair!
Thank you Mark, I clearly agree.

Because I get 30+ rides in a visit without sacrificing precious annual leave

If people want to spend £400 to queue at Thorpes Fastrack booth on busy days instead, then that's their choice I guess.
IMO? Simply put; Thorpe is better and around the corner.... but thanks for apparently being the only person to answer my initial question...

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how the annual UFT works? I assume you are provided with a separate pass to show at the FT booth to pick up the wrist band for the day? Hilarious and disturbing you still have to queue after spending £400.....

So was it the Negan scene from last year.. or the Negan scene from LN Extreme?
WAYYYY preferred last year's opening scene, and last year's Negan's tbf... the ones we saw in LN Extreme were shocking (one didn't even have a beard, full on laughed out loud when he stuck Lucille in my face ffs.......)
-
Ok... I am not usually the optimistic type... however today is turning out to be a great day! Is there not any chance guys that Thorpe just want to get LIL out of the way before they start construction? Last day is September 1st.. they crack on with setting up the next event after that w&nk is finally over and done with; opposed to trying to organise two events at the same time? Think of the resource costs!
Also, isn't there more closed dates this September compared to last year.. meaning they can work around the clock to turn this all around in time?
Again, only a suggestion.. let the rampage commence
-
Awesome, thank you both so much!
-
Hi Guys, how are Thorpe enforcing the £10 charge for 6pm-10pm for LIL? There is a group of us going on Saturday (all TAP) but only 2 of us are staying for the evening. Do you have to buy the £10 ticket in advance? They can't surely go around checking who has paid and who has not at 6pm, and equally can't enforce TAP holders the charge on entry if they are not staying?

She always bruises me delightfully on the outside seat.... love her most ardently!!!!!

Well... I went on 3 times on Saturday....
The first run was awful... the worst I have ever had in the maze. Not many scares, did not enjoy the first scene as much as last year and thought there weren't that many additional actors. I'd like to point out that was in the day...
I then did an evening run and it was almost like a different maze! Still think last years opening scene was 10 times better (and with much better Negan's... I'm sorry but it is true..), but the rest of the maze was incredible! Found some extra rooms and the new scene of being forced into a chair and being interrogated by 2 of the Saviours. Loads of actors, lots of jump scares, and a really good ending! Was so good went round again!
-
So how does it work for MOS nights? We will be on park Saturday, do you just get booted out at 6:00, do your own thing for two hours then head back in?

I adore the Saw franchise as a whole, so as much as I would love this to be a Saw Legacy revamp, bit odd to do so the year after "Jigsaw" came out...
In other news, and sorry if this has already been pointed out... looks like all AP tickets for Fright Nights 2018 are set to £10 currently... just bought two for Sat 27th (almost certain this was £15 or £20 last year) at £10 a piece?

Sorry, forgot to update this. You do not get FT for TWD.. as Marc suggested there is no FT queue.
We got in the queue first thing, and the ride decided to break down. After some waiting they evacuated the queue line and were handing out 2 FT tickets for any ride on park. I politely pointed out we had UFT so these were kinda wasted on us, but thanks for the offer. Then, a lovely gentleman stopped me (I was wearing my fave Negan top) and said "this girl is a super fan too, please give her the same FT"!!!! A lovely ride attendant then reluctantly agreed, and said yes that's fine, but no more; and handed us both a FT specifically for TWD.....
So, no FT, but wear a Negan top and hope the ride breaks down and you may be in with some luck!!!!
-
Hi Guys,
Pretty certain the answer to this is "no"... but does anyone know if you can get one shot fast track for TWDTR when you purchase ultimate fastrack (like when DBGT first opened)?
Many thanks!
-
Yeah tell me about it Benin, fed up tbh! But what can they do I guess IF it really is going to be -3 to 1 degrees...

Sooo, whilst I appreciate the Great British Weather (or should I say, the Great British Weather Forecast People) is/are forever changing their minds; the forecast for this weekend is looking pretty abysmal. Phone app was predicting high winds, MetOffice is predicting snow showers...
I've been on park before when the bad weather policy has been in place, and literally nothing was running (quantum was the only open ride I could be bothered with, and we already know that will not be running this weekend, weather permitting or not).
If the weather is that bad this weekend, what will they do? Just activate the policy, reschedule etc.? Something tells me we are not all going to fit inside the Marquee...

Thorpe Park Official also posted a short video a couple of days ago from the same "marketing" day... It's pretty terrible to say the least. Glad that this time round I did not get my hopes up... I guess I finally have something to thank DBGTROTD for ...

I hope this means they will FINALLY start cleaning the headsets on DBGTROTD effectively ..... or even better just keep the darn ride closed!
