Just pointing out that fastrack has no value on a quiet day and there are better value things to spend £400 on. Compared to the Adrenaline package for example, It only starts becoming better value if you plan to go on more than 5 coasters in a day on more than 8 busy days during the season. Add the Exhilarate and it's more than 10 rides a day on 5 busy days. Or it's more than 4 busy days with Unlimited but missing the Walking Dead the ride. It's entirely your choice on how you spend your own money at the end of the day but hopefully it's a more informed and rounded decision. Feel free to ignore everyones opinions. I'm glad Europa doesn't sell fastrack. Their queues move pretty quickly being able to fill the whole trains from the main queue.

Indeed, it would be better value to buy a Blackpool Season Pass, Europa Park season pass and/or a Disney season pass if you've got £400 to dispose of. If people want to spend £400 to queue at Thorpes Fastrack booth on busy days instead, then that's their choice I guess.

Gotta see them geek updates in person. What's been painted? Any new fences? Might even spot a new sign. Can't wait to find out.

Only lord Sandbrook likeths a dry hotdog. As an equal rights amusement park, Thorpe Park Resort should not discriminate against the moisture of anyones hotdogs.

New test footage of the JoJo roll on Copperhead Strike.

I guess we won't be dressing up as politicians then.

Considering that the Gruffalo is the best "new" attraction at Chessington (seriously). If they can do Room on the Broom to a similar standard then it should be pretty good. It's also perfect for Chessington's target market.

Would I be escorted from the resort if I bring hotdogs in a flask with ketchup and buns? Considering they would probably be better quality than Thorpes. (Herta Frankfurters) ??

Sounds like BPB isn't fully ready yet but it's good there was a big crowd willing to visit at this time of year. I didn't like the way BPB dealt with breakdowns when I visited last year though. They're going to have to change their attitude in that regard.

I just think they're covering themselves though by being able to say "We objected" if new residents do move in next door and complain about noise.

So this article came up about Thorpe objecting to a nearby retirement development because the new residents would complain about the noise. I guess they are objecting to this to cover themselves legally in the future if this development went ahead? It could well interfere with Thorpes future development plans.

Thorpe don't know who they are targeting, what direction to take the park in and has pretty much been abandoned for major new investments from Merlin after DBGT.

The digipass makes it a pretty good offer.

I'm there. Wouldn't mind a bit of TGI's after.

I think they were offending the enthusiasts too much so this post is to offend everyone else. Good job Thorpe, bravo. ? ??‍♂️

Not for lols?

Stop wasting money on it and knock down the whole ride. Then put a real ghost train in the building.

Well the current social media is really trying to p off their followers. Basically saying, yeah we know what we're bad at but we're going to mess with you anyway just for lols rather than tell you what the improvements are.

I'll be at the meal. Also just to be aware, travellers have set up camp in the spectrum carpark this week. https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/travellers-move-guildford-spectrum-car-15746063 They have left the Spectrum now.

The Dr Archibald was another VR ride that felt like more of a demo. Not worth £9 a go. The best parts of it were actually the real world theming in the queue and the exit tunnel. To me its conclusive that no matter how good VR may be, it does not beat the immersion of real world, old fashioned theming, animatonics, smoke, lighting, sound effects & UV.

Yeah, there's not really much of a marketing campaign for Thorpe yet like Chessington and Towers. I have a feeling that Thorpe is going to focus on it's anniversary in a big way. Maybe have more throwback type stuff. They're certaintly targeting us as enthusiasts this year with the maintenance videos and old references. That's the problem with Thorpe though, it has an identity crisis.

This sounds great, the best parks in Europe have roaming actors. I just hope Thorpe can make it work for the whole season.

It's a bit of a slap in the face to Premium MAP holders. Making their second biggest customers pay extra for the privilege. That's power towers.

16 hours maintenance a day is ridiculous. Now we know why it always opens later.

My Meerkat runs out 2 days before ? But I'm going to renew it for £1 travel insurance after it runs out ? I've saved quite a bit with it before.
