April 10, 201114 yr comment_112902 Hmm, I said that AP Day would be packed, does this therefore mean I must obviously be always right? I wish you picked my horse on the grand national yesterday my horse fell off on first jump
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113199 I went yesterday (12th April) and for an Easter holiday it was surprisingly good. I wouldn't say "quiet" or "empty" but the queues weren't as bad as I remember a few years ago.
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113223 I'm going to Thorpe Park tomorrow, and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone this week and how busy it's been. The weather's gonna be OK tomorrow so that shouldn't be too much of a factor
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113232 I went yesterday (12th) and for a school holiday it was petty good. I wouldn't call it quiet, but the queue for Colossus and Saw at peak times were about 45 minutes, and Nemesis averaged at about 35 minutes. I had a load of mates with me though so that could have helped the time fly by! I hadn't been to the park on a holiday date for a few years so was surprised how smaller the queues were, Rumba Rapids and Tidal Wave used to be 30+ mins but yesterday I waited no longer than 10 minutes!The park is MUCH more empty within the last 45 minutes. We snuck on quite a few rides including two on Nemesis before we had to leave due to risk of the bus leaving us behind! If you have a car, why not stay right up to the end. Car park charges meant it takes forever to get out, though.
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113233 Sounds good, my sister went on Monday and she said Stealth peaked at 15mins Hope there isn't an end of week rush
April 13, 201114 yr comment_113235 Sounds good, my sister went on Monday and she said Stealth peaked at 15mins Hope there isn't an end of week rush I would expect a Friday to be busier.
April 20, 201114 yr comment_113821 Does anyone know how busy it´ll be on 21st May? In case you don´t know thats the saturday before half term.. I dont want to know the queue time of Vortex at 1:24pm or anything silly just how busy it´ll be
April 20, 201114 yr comment_113830 I'm praying Sunday won't be packed but I have a feeling it will because of Thorpe's 3 for 2 offer
April 20, 201114 yr comment_113859 I'm praying Sunday won't be packed but I have a feeling it will because of Thorpe's 3 for 2 offer And the fact that it's Easter Sunday!
April 20, 201114 yr comment_113861 I think will be busy because people are off work and schools are off I'm afraid
April 21, 201114 yr comment_113882 Does anyone know if Thorpe will be busy on the day of the Royal Wedding or will it be quieter on Sunday 8th May?
April 21, 201114 yr Author comment_113893 Does anyone know if Thorpe will be busy on the day of the Royal Wedding or will it be quieter on Sunday 8th May?I'm not going to lie to you here. The last time there was a royal wedding was in the 80's Back then the biggest ride in the South was Space Station Zero. The very thought of Vampire, Bubbleworks, Colossus was a pipe dream. We can only gamble at just how empty/busy it will be on Royal Wedding day.So to play it safe, go on the 8th.
April 22, 201114 yr comment_114088 I know the park will be busy when I go, just hoping not too busy, I'll buy fast track if I have too, the main purpose is to redeem my annual pass as the coupon I got expires in May so I need to go either way!
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115321 Sorry, but what would your definition of medium be. Because mines probably different, seeing I've only been at peak time before.
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115326 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!That is your answer!But yeah it's a weekend after the easter holidays so 45 midday queue for Saw, 20 minutes for Nemesis Inferno is what you'd be looking at.
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115344 Oh, that's better than I expected. thankyou. I understand you can never know. Last time I went was AP day. So yeah, I hope it's reasonably quiet.
May 12, 201114 yr comment_115406 I'm going tomorrow (If it's not raining too hard) anyone been in the last week or two? how's it been?
May 12, 201114 yr comment_115407 Karys said on her trip report that yesterday it was pretty dead, but it's a bit later in the week so expect a few short queues, 30 minutes maximum and most smaller rides will be a walk on.
May 12, 201114 yr comment_115408 Hello! Planning a trip at the moment for the 27th of May (Friday)Was just wondering what the park should be like. Also, are the schools broken up by then? I know is gloucestershire they are still in on that date, just wondering about a bit closer to London!Thanks for any replies!
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115609 Harry, I think the schools break up that day, my daughters does anyway, but it can vary from county to county. I wouldn't be surprised if some people bunk the last day of school, it's one of the main days people bunk isn't it?I couldn't tell you how busy it will be though, I'm going on the 23rd and was wondering if anyone had any idea what mondays are like??
