October 4, 201014 yr comment_99692 ^Does that have an effect on how busy it gets during the weekdays?Will probably make it quieter.

Stealth I saw with a lot larger queue as well during the day, ranging around 60mins. Even Tidal Wave has a longer-than-usual Fright Night queue, even though it was 10 mins. With Loggers Leap with a 25 minutes queue. I thought that was rather weird considering it was FREEZING.
October 23, 201014 yr comment_101066 Was there Friday and the queues were horrible because so many Fastrack tickets were sold!I queued for saw for just under 2 hours (the queue time boards were wildly inaccurate) and the announcements were saying Fastrack queue was 30 minutes!
December 29, 201014 yr comment_105808 Just curious. . .I'm planning to go opening weekend, and I know it should be quite busy, because its opening weekend, but does anyone have a rough guide as to what it would be like from previous years? Thanks
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105851 It might be quite busy, but it really depends on the weather. Its normally quite drizzly at that time of year, if so, not many people will turn up I guess. Some of the rides surrounding storm surge might be less busy though, since it's new...

I'd say it's far too early to say what opening day will be like this season. Depends on the marketing prior to opening, the weather, etc. etc.
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105883 Becuase StormSurge is new wouldnt the rides around it get busier, becauses theres more people in that area?
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105888 depends on the weather. Its normally quite drizzly at that time of year, if so, not many people will turn up I guess.Hmm, People seem to be caring much less about weather recently, I went sometime this year on a reeaally miserable day and it was pretty busy
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105890 Well perhaps not surrounding it, but what I meant is that a ride such as saw, would be less busy first thing, as everyone would head for storm surge. Meh I'm probably wrong.
March 6, 201114 yr comment_109954 Hey guys,Iv got some relatives coming over to england, they are staying from 17th-20th march. I wanted to take them to Thorpe Park on the 18th, thats the only day everyone is available. But I don't want to take them there if its going to packed, it would be a waste of their day.Has anyone experienced the second day of openning before, is it normally really busy or quite quiet?Any opinions would be of much helpCheers GuysBen
March 6, 201114 yr comment_109957 It's a Friday so shouldn't be too bad , but with the online prices being cheaper now it won't help the park being not busy IMO I've been in week day in the summer on a Wednesday last year and prices were cheaper 2for 1 and manic 90 minutes of queues on all rides . I'm going on the 24 th and hoping to be quiet too

March 6, 201114 yr comment_109965 Cheers for your replies guys, think I'm gona risk it and take them their. Nowadays at thorpe, it always seems to be busy
March 7, 201114 yr comment_109974 Cheers for your replies guys, think I'm gona risk it and take them their. Nowadays at thorpe, it always seems to be busy I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's busy . When I used to go when I was younger I could go in every ride at least twice but every time apart from one I've only managed I go on each ride in the whole day . But fingers crossed XX that it's going to be fine for you
March 7, 201114 yr comment_109975 Friday 18th shouldn't be that busy at all really. Like holtjammy said a majority of people will be going on the Saturday. A lot of the typical Thorpe Park faithful will be in education/work on this day! Hope you and you relatives enjoy it!
March 10, 201114 yr comment_110299 I am looking to go on the 21st of march but with thorpe park recently just opening on the 17th I'm just interested if its going to be busy or not, It is a school day so I'm sure that should lower guest numbers but still with a new season and new ride I'm thinking it could be slightly busy.. Any ideas guys ??Thanks guys :P
March 10, 201114 yr comment_110312 Its each to there own on opinions really it's a Monday so I would say will be a little busyier than other weekdays but I'f weather is rain permited helps the queues to be less busy with other promotion offers on at mo could be busy I'm going on the thursday of that week and hoping to be empty but never is also hoping security wont stop me again but never happens I must look like a criminal and my mates etc
March 11, 201114 yr comment_110438 Cheers and what are inset days???Inset days are a day off school. Some schools call them staff development days, staff training days, ect.
March 13, 201114 yr comment_110812 Just a quick question, I collected the sun thorpe park vouchers last year which entitles you two free tickets to enter the park on any one day this year but does this mean you can just go up to the gates and use your ticket there or do you need to queue with the ticket from the sun and then get a new ticket from the kiosk, It will just save time queuing at the kiosks.. Has anyone used these tickets ?? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fun/competitions/promotions/article173863.ece

March 14, 201114 yr comment_110925 Any ideas guys, It would be a great help if you can help in any way ??Yeah, you would have to queue up to buy your tickets before entering the queue for the gates. You could book online instead which is only a bit more expensive and collect your tickets from the machines on the side and go straight to the gates
March 16, 201114 yr comment_111091 Anyone got any ideas of how busy it will be next Monday 21st March, I am guessing all the kids will be at school so that should help keep the numbers down hopefully, I dont really like the idea of queuing up for hours on end, This is why I'm looking to go on a week day, Please help guys.. Much appreciated ??
