How Busy Is It Going To Be?


Mark9

Question

Right, so instead of endless topics asking us how busy the park is going to be, instead here is a rough guide to the kind of business the park/s should be expecting this season. It's not set in stone and remember business can be effected by weather, ride reliability, mount of trains/cars on the rollercoasters, amount of staff working on things, fastrack etc etc etc!10am - 5pm Weekday. Likely to be very empty, particularly in term time. Queue time should be minimal (Unless your name is Stealth and you have a stupid system where you can only load 4 in the first, 8 in the second and then you end up rolling back anyway etc etc) 10am-5pm Weekend. Will be emptyish, however likely to be long queues for Saw, Colossus, Stealth and Nemesis Inferno.10am-6pm. Busy but not so bad. Queues for the coasters could reach 45/60 minutes, whilst the rest of the flat rides should be a max of 30 minutes. June and July are when schools start rolling in, so between 11-3 the park will be very busy.9.30am-6pm. Should be busy. Queues for the coasters could reach 60/90 minutes and the rest of the rides queues will be between 20/40 minutes. Fastrack will be in operation.9.30-7pm. Expected to be busy. Queues should be similar to 9.30-6.00 close except the last hour should be quite empty.9.30-8.00 Again should be busy. At least you have a long day to get on quite a few rides. 10.00am-10.00pm Will be busy. Last year wasn't as bad as previously however if it ever hits peak capacity, queues will be up to 2 hours for the rollercoasters and between 45/90 minutes for the flat rides.Remember guys, read this guide to help if you beat the queues without wasting money on Fastrack. Also use the park well. Head to Stealth and Inferno instead of Saw and Colossus. Do rides whilst they look empty instead of following the majority of the crowds.

When it was 10 mins before park opening the queue was only at the end of rails near main entrance ! Maximum of 500 ;) I would have said ! But might have been more by end of day but no more than 1.000You should be fine I think won't be bad at all

Hi, first post and a quick question (though I'm not sure anyone will be able to predict the answer!)Was planning on doing a Thorpe Park trip towards the end of this month and have no idea when would be best to go, non school holiday or weekend days are out as the gf is a teacher.What with the bank holiday bonanza coming up at the end of this month anyone know when might be least busy?My birthday is on the 25th which is a Monday bank holiday, but also the last day of easter hols so not sure what that day would be like. Or we could go on the Sat/Sun before the 25th or anytime the 4 day bank holiday weekend after.Alternatively we could even go sometime towards the end of easter hols if that's likely to be less busy than those long bank holiday weekends....Slightly confusing post I know,in short: Any time at the end of easter hols or those two 4 day weekends at the end of the month are possible, any ideas on when might be slightly less horrific with q times?Cheers!
