April 6, 201114 yr comment_112589 My friends and I are planning to go to Thorpe next wednesday. Will it be likely to be busy then or ? Also, what time does the park open?
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112593 I accidentally posted a thread asking about this kind of thing, so sorry about the :SWhats it likely to be next wednesday? Is it still term time then or ?
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112594 Next week the park is open from 9.30 am — 6 pm. Being the easter holiday you can pretty much guarantee that the park won't be empty, and will be rather busy. I'm doubtful whether it'll be as busy as the weekends during the easter holidays but it'll still be pretty busy and you shouldn't expect to get on rides very quickly...

Is it still term time then or ?As I replied to your thread, I'll reply here as well It's in-fact the easter holidays next week, therefore you can be pretty sure it's going to be busy.
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112600 Half term? More like Easter holidays...[/pendatic]Who put half term
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112608 Ahhh ok... I was hoping it wouldnt be that busy. But what would a day out to a theme park be without the queues !!! Thank you
April 6, 201114 yr comment_112626 Seeing as it was pretty busy today with Stealth having an hour queue id imagine a half term day being a bit busier!

April 7, 201114 yr Author comment_112661 We thought Ap day would be quiet, we are completely the wrong people to ask Hell with it, even the park can't predict numbers correctly.THERE IS NO HOPE!
April 7, 201114 yr comment_112663 One quick question - I'm going to Thorpe tomoz (8th April); and I was wondering whether you could tell me how busy it's likely to be based on the following:- It's a Weekday- Open 9:30 - 6:00-Inset Day for alot of schools but not allThank alot!
April 7, 201114 yr comment_112700 Why don't you guestimate and use the math ... half term + long opening hours = Busy dayEASTER HOLIDAYS
April 9, 201114 yr comment_112819 How busy is the park at this time?Schools arn't off in the second week of May, (I don't think?)Also, just wondering if there are any days of the week that are busier than others? I won't be going on a weekend, that would be a lot busier I expect. Apart from that, I have the option to go any day.Also I think I will be persuaded by getting an AP soon enough, seems like a good deal!Any help would be appreciated please!Thanks!
April 9, 201114 yr comment_112820 I think generally, If a week end or half term, it will be busy all throughout the year. I think fridays will be the busiest weekday, so maybe try to go on any other days except fridays and weekends

April 9, 201114 yr comment_112831 Beginning of may for me was around 20mins for rides - thats purely because they're awful with ensuring their rides actually are running on full capacity.
