Summer Nights

[OldFarmerDean]

I'm not sure if anyone would know...

I got tickets for the summer nights on friday 2nd august, which gates open at 7 and rides 7.30... I am also planning to go in the day, and seen that the park closes at 7. so how do thorpe park know who to let on the rollercoasters after 7.30 etc. if I am already in the park? and as you don't have to pay for parking for the summer event, if I stay there all day and for the summer nights thing I don't have to pay for parking. so confused. any help would be grateful, thanks.

If it is like MoS you will get a wristband. I have no idea how they'll manage it as they emptied everyone from the park then opened back up for that, I don't see how that is possible in half hour! As for the parking, the barriers go up about an hour after park close anyway, so you'll just drive straight through.

thanks... I read the dome is open til 11pm, so I could stop for dinner in there between the day and night park opening - do you know what the food is like, is it dear? thanks again

For MOS they shut the dome but I can imaging that they would leave it open for summer nights, if so you get Bar 360 which does pretty good food at reasonable prices! From memory its about 6 quid a meal with annual pass, eight quid with out!!! Burger and chips, that sort of stuff

sounds decent... just trying to make a whole day out of it really, pointless coming from bristol over 2 hours away for just 3 hours in the evening. the park will be busy in the day (which put me off going), but at least you got an extra 3 hours (in the dark, well some of it, being an added bonus), which would work out cheaper than buying fast tracks in the day anyway

Would anyone who has been to summer nights recommend it?

Is it worth the £5 event fee?

And how long would I expect to queue for rides?

Cheers

Summer nights is well worth the money whether you do or do not have an annual pass. The atmosphere is a different one from the day with quite a calm one plus it should be very quiet as well. In some cases, you may even be able to re-ride on the following cycle too.

Night rides on the coasters are amazing (even on Flying Fish).

All booked in for Summer Nights on Saturday now!

Just a question - nowhere said enter annual pass number, is this right?

[Marc]

Yep you dont need to enter a number just show your pass when you collect the tickets

Ok thanks.

Looking forward to this now!
