Something I've noticed is that 13th April- 17th April are all listed as 10-6pm days which would imply school holidays however the Surrey Schools Term Dates calendar states that schools in the Surrey area go back on the 13th April.

Anyone got any idea on why this is, and if so, do you reckon the specified week will be particularly busy?

(Also, on the busiest days during Easter, what are peak queue times, I would imagine no where near as busy as Summer or Fright nights but coaster lengths of up to around 90minutes?)

Where I am in Hertfordshire the Easter Holidays run from the 2nd April all the way through to the 19th April so I'm guessing different counties have different term dates so Thorpe are just accommodating for that I would assume

  • Just for you, (and this is a Mark9 special)! I am going to predict accurately all the rides queue times from 10am to 6pm. If I am wrong then you will have to blame the spirits, we have a bad connectio

What are you on about? Take a look for yourself...https://www.thorpepark.com/resort-information/getting-here-opening-times

No I meant someone at Thorpe looked at the 2014 surrey schools calender when deciding opening times because they were on holiday that week last year, Surrey have shifted it a week earlier this year so the kids go back round here on the 13th.

Coastercameron98's answer is more plausible though.

Surrey is meant to have this "even term length" thing but this half term is only 5 weeks long whereas the majority of counties don't break up till good Friday itself for 2 weeks. If you go to buy tickets, the 30th-2nd is actually £24.99 making it an "off peak date" but from Good Friday for two weeks it is £29.99 deeming that the peak dates. Gotta love Surrey and their silly term dates.

Following up to my previous question, when during the Easter Holidays will be the quietest period to visit?

I know the whole of the holiday period is likely to be busy, however I would like to visit when the queues are as short as possible. I can personally tolerate any queue length up to around 60 minutes, however anything less than that would be ideal(30-45minute queues for the main coasters).

Any help would be really appreciated :)

3 of them are almost guaranteed to be closed on Saturday. So don't get your hopes up for vortex, detonator or slammer. It's also likely X and Colossus will still be on reduced capacity.

 

jesus. sounds like I have a terrible day ahead of me.

 

would you expect sunday to be as busy or no???

What's the fourth ride closed at the moment? According to their Twitter, Slammer, Vortex and Detonator are closed.

There was a 4th, Samurai has been closed all day today. :(

I'm going on Sunday, and expecting it to be pretty quiet to be honest. Every Time I've been on the last day of the holidays it has been dead, so hope this Sunday is the same!
