October 6, 201311 yr comment_170068 That's good! Definitely learnt from the days of old, when they hired it for an evening and had something ridiculous like 15k turn up.
October 6, 201311 yr comment_170069 ^^ Thank you! Its dumb that I still have to pay £20 even though I have a merlin pass (but thats no use to john lewis) But this is 3pm till 10 so cant complain. Oh and its being advitised as fright night so I guess I can get walk on, on all the mazes too! JEALOUSE?
October 6, 201311 yr comment_170073 Can anyone predict how busy it will be on sunday 13th? Thanks If anything like tonight the park will be dead but there are a lot of gypsies on a Sunday.
October 7, 201311 yr comment_170084 If anything like tonight the park will be dead but there are a lot of gypsies on a Sunday. The chavs and gypsies were horrendous yesterday! They really ruined parts of our day. For example on Storm Surge (first and last ride of the season on that thing) we got put in a raft with some and they were standing up, swearing and being generally abusive the whole time to us and the staff. Some of them also ruined our third run in Asylum - they kept pushing us into the fences as they were at the back. Also on Nemesis Inferno two chavs kept trying to get back on from the exit, and asked us to move up (even though we were a three) so that they could get on. I felt so sorry for the staff yesterday, but why didn't they just call security to escort them from the park?! Absolutely horrendous, there is no place for people like that in theme parks (or anywhere for that matter).
October 7, 201311 yr comment_170093 What would you expect the maze queue's to be like on Saturday (12th October) ?
October 7, 201311 yr comment_170099 What would you expect the maze queue's to be like on Saturday (12th October) ? Saturday so long ish second weekend so maybe a bit shorter than last weekend I would say maze queues of around an hour. And yes when in the asylum queue yesterday some kids were abusing the queue line actor and security was all over the place at the asylum. It had to be evacuated as an actor got punched.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_170226 Going on Sunday the 13th but only in the day as going with my brother, but going for fright nights on the 29th, which is a Sunday, Last year I went on a Saturday and it was packed
October 10, 201311 yr comment_170244 Gonna go with my sister next week. She's never been to the park, really looking forward to the rollercoasters. We've been planning to go on Thursday 17th if the weather is half decent. Thinking it's probably not gonna be very busy so we'd get to ride each rollercoaster at least a couple of times. However now I began thinking about Sunday 20th, as I saw some comments about Fright Night not being that busy on Sundays. Not that interested in the mazes really, but would love to see the park in the dark, plus the extended opening hours. Reckon Thursday would still be the best then to get most out of the rollercoasters or does Fright Night atmosphere/darkness make it worth it even if there's longer queues? Would they be significantly longer?

Would they be significantly longer? Sunday 19th would have short queues especially on the the rides at night as demand becomes higher for the mazes. Maze queue would still be short aswell. For the best of the best go on the Friday.
October 10, 201311 yr comment_170292 Not sure how busy Fridays will be in comparison to Saturdays & Sundays. I am going on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th. Really excited now!!!
October 16, 201311 yr comment_170735 Anyone knows how widely the schools will be closed tomorrow? Just saw Thorpe Park's "School's out" offer. I was hoping for a quieter day due to it being Thursday but now I'm afraid all the kids in the area will rush to the park? :S
October 16, 201311 yr comment_170737 Most of the schools in the area are aiming to be open but some lessons may be disrupted/cancelled so some students may be lucky enough to have no lessons. I doubt it will have a huge impact though

I was hoping for a quieter day due to it being Thursday but now I'm afraid all the kids in the area will rush to the park? :S You've got me worried now; it's my intention to be there tomorrow as it's forecast to be the best weather of my days off - gosh and I thought they were supposed to be at school.

Yeah it's because a lot of teachers are striking so some schools are closing, Thorpe are taking advantage of this and have posted an offer for schoolkids on their Facebook page which I'm sure will drum up a lot of interest. That mixed with the good weather tomorrow could be slightly busy!

I doubt it will have a huge impact though Thanks, that's somewhat reassuring I got quite worried there for a bit!

I know right... of course I hope the park keeps on having guests and all but last time I went was busy summer time so was thinking of having a less busy visit now. We actually weighted Thursday vs Fright Nights, main aim to visit the rollercoasters, not fussed about the mazes... thinking Thursday will not be busy at all. Is this strike surprise news or have people seen it coming for days? People from further away might not be that eager to travel if short notice....
October 16, 201311 yr comment_170744 My school is still on tomorrow! Anyone know how busy it will be at fright nights this Saturday? I'm predicting 90-120min queues? Am I right in estimating that?

Besides the daytime will be quiet.
October 16, 201311 yr comment_170756 GO Friday. It's quiet, ert and mazes!!! Besides the daytime will be quiet. You know I'm very tempted by this suggestion now... the weather doesn't look *that* bad for Friday. I gotta consult the other person going
October 17, 201311 yr comment_170761 How busy do people think it will be for re meet on Saturday this weekend??
October 17, 201311 yr comment_170762 How busy do people think it will be for re meet on Saturday this weekend??I'm going on saturday(unfortunately not with the meet!) but seeing as you guys will all be there, I am gonna say very busy I would probably estimate 90-120 min queues for the mazes like it was last Saturday. The rides will probably be about 60-90 mins. That's just my guessing! Could be a lot less busy or more busy! If I bump into you guys will say hi
October 17, 201311 yr comment_170780 This Sunday probably won't be too bad at Fright Nights either. Saturdays are always the busiest day at Fright Nights (apart from in school holidays).
