July 29, 201312 yr comment_164311 Hi people, I know both day's are going to be busy but do you think Sunday or a Weekday would be less busy? I'm thinking Sunday but want some opinions
July 29, 201312 yr comment_164324 Pretty sure weekdays are less busy rather consistently right through even when the kids are off.
July 29, 201312 yr comment_164339 In theory it should be quieter in the week as typically only kids/teens get the whole summer off. I'd look at the weather, go on the day with the worst outlook.
July 30, 201312 yr comment_164376 That's true, Thanks! It doesn't matter too much because I'm a Merlin Pass holder but live about an hour and a half away. Think I'm going on Monday now.
July 30, 201312 yr comment_164417 Theoretically this (and last week) is the quiet week. Can't say for sure though as the weather is looking lovely on Thursday! I'm there tomorrow morning so shall report back on how busy it was
July 30, 201312 yr comment_164423 In my experience hot weather draws a crowd, and Thorpe has a good selection of water rides.
July 31, 201312 yr comment_164463 This morning wasn't too bad but that's just because of the way we did the park. Swarm, Inferno, and Colossus were all on one train at opening with Stealth and Saw at full capacity. At 11 Inferno was still on one car with the first extension queue nearly needed and from how frequent Swarm was going I'd say that was still on one train. Colossus was on two by 10:30 but the damage had already been done and a 45 minute queue reached. Saw was only 10 minutes at this point though a long with X, the water rides, and most flats being walk on. Storm Surge was dead a long with Slammer. Can't report on how bad it was this afternoon but I doubt queues exceeded an hour (if Swarm and Inferno finally put a second train on).
August 5, 201312 yr comment_164835 Please can someone tell me how busy it is likely to be this week. We have all week off and would like to choose a quieter day if there is one!
August 5, 201312 yr comment_164836 I think of any given week Tues/Weds/Thurs will be quietest, but it is weather dependant too. If you spot a day that is forecast to start wet and get nicer later on that could be a good day to try.
August 12, 201312 yr comment_165189 Hi I am thinking of going to Thorpe park Thursday but would like to know how long on average do you think the ques will be? Is it likely to be hours?! I am taking my 5 month old daughter and need to know I can leave her without her being hungry. I am totally breastfeeding so no one else and do it! Thanks
August 12, 201312 yr comment_165191 There's a little bit of rain predicted for Thursday and Friday, that might work in your favour. As long as you give her top-ups before you get in a queue you should be fine, and try to do the big rollercoasters as early as possible.
August 12, 201312 yr comment_165196 I normally go on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as it normally is quite but then again I mainly go when kids are at school do see some bunkers in school uniform when they meant to be at school.

How come Mondays are usually busy then? Always thought they would be the quietest week day!!!!!
August 14, 201312 yr comment_165295 I think it comes from people taking extended weekends off of work/school rather than random days between other working days. So mondays and fridays are a bit busier than the middle days.In reality the weather probably has a bigger influence than this though.
August 16, 201312 yr comment_165531 How busy do we reckon Monday the 26th will be? It's a bank holiday but is it one of the quiet bank holidays or busy ones? Thanks
August 16, 201312 yr comment_165543 Probably as busy as it get's. People back home from holidays, parents off for the bank holiday, last chance to go before schools are back, predicted great weather.
August 16, 201312 yr comment_165545 I agree with Merry go girl, it will be very busy as mosy people are back home from holidays and its like a last minute from spree before school starts again.
August 18, 201312 yr comment_165713 What do you think it will be like Monday 2nd September? My thinking is it will either be packed as last monday before schools go back or really quiet as lots of schools go back the next day. We are lucky and don't go back til the Thursday! Am hoping this will be a good day as we have been planning this, our first visit, for months and one thing after another has caused us to cancel.
August 29, 201312 yr Author comment_167226 Very busy is my best bet. Last few days of school holidays, potential of good weather. Perfect recipe for busy.
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167228 Oh dear!!! Was hoping people would be busy getting ready for going back to school and not having the same idea as us! How much are come back tomorrow tickets? Does it get quieter later in the evening?
