Are the towers open at the start of season?

Just a standard TP pass now. Merlin Platinum (£299) comes with 1 free 1 shot fast pass a day. Presumably this means in any Merlin place you visit and doesn't exclude Hyperia at TP? https://www.thorpepark.com/tickets-passes/passes/

People do trust them. In fact, even the other rides eg Inferno riders leave their phones on the shelf. I find it astonishing that they trust that no one from the next ride will take their phone, and even more astonishing that seemingly no one actually does take it? Is it something about theme parks being enclosed from the outer world?

What baggage room?

Its dissappeared from the queue app a few days ago.

One of the few exclusion dates for annual pass is tonight, yet the app shows the park isn't that busy?

I've been twice this year and the pop up food stations are mostly unused, compared to the standalone all year round ones, which are busy. Is this normal?

I dont get how multi million pound rides are free and the thrown together maze is a cost

Saw a man today (looked like engineer or technician) using binoculars to watch ride go past, it was dark. Any idea what that's about? He was stood on the path outside the ride area.

Remove the signage. I don't think it used to be there anyway.

These Rapids at parks don't seem to have the same excitement they used to? Have they turned most of the jets off that created a decent ride years ago?

So whilst in Hyperia queue the ride stopped and announcement played stating something like "ride has stopped due to guest's action". Queue was closed and we waited 30 mins whilst security entered ride area. With about an hour left of the day, the queue line then evacuated not to open again. Staff confirmed that people has entered the ride area from outside the park. So my question is, presumably they would have evacuated the queue from the start, or certainly well before 30 minitues if they thought they would not be able to open again. What happened for them to not allow the ride open again? My only thought is that they needed to thoroughly search the whole ride area, when it became apparent that they couldn't be sure how many had entered vs how many they had caught? But does this take 90 minitues?

Why was the queue line extended outside of the original ride area? Makes the swcrion of path very narrow.

Any bakers in the house? Whats going wrong with the doughnuts that they fall apart when hold them up and are a yellow colour inside?

Not awkward, I have season pass, just curious. 🙂 Another option would be to ask them to open the gate, they don't have any legal authority to keep you there. Alternatively, you could just take no cash and no electronic payment with you. Again, they'd have to open up then. It's one thing to chage the earth for food and fast tracks. Paying for parking is just exploitation in my opinion.
