Posted May 19, 201411 yr comment_183565 Hi I'm planning to go to Thorpe park with some friends on sunday, they all have merlin passes so I was thinking about buying a season pass, do I have to go to Thorpe park to receive it if I buy it online? Need help fast!
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183566 You can get it posted to you but I don't know how many days it takes to do that. Buying online is cheaper normally and you can collect it the day you go but you will want to get there early as the queue can get quite big to collect them.
May 19, 201411 yr Author comment_183569 K thank you what do I do as all my friends have merlin passes and I'm only getting the Thorpe park season pass do I go in the same question as them, also how early?
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183572 I'm guessing you mean same queue to get in the park... All annual pass holders whether its merlin or Thorpe go through the right hand side of the turnstiles. It also does open 30 minutes before for extra ride time for the pass holders. So guessing you would need to get to the annual pass building before 9.30 as it will take a about 5 mins without queueing just to get the pass.
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183600 Another question, I lost my annual pass but still have time left on it. Instead of paying the £10 fee for the replacement I have a voucher to get a new one? Can I exchange the voucher to get a new pass but have the old time added on
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183607 You won't be able to get the value of the old one added on, it'll just be a completely new pass lasting 12 months
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183619 ^ I'm not sure actually - I'm thought you could renew like 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after your expiary date? Would contact the MAP team to confirm though.

I think it would be depend on whether Mark's got a voucher for a renewal of a Pass, or a voucher for an entirely new one. If it's a voucher for an entirely new one, I think it's unlikely that he'll be able to get the time 'added on' because it would technically be a new pass, even if it's with the same details. Would be interesting to see what Merlin say though; I've been in the position once or twice where I had to cash in my MAP voucher from the January sale (when they had expiry dates) before my old MAP ran out, and I always assumed I wouldn't be able to get the couple of weeks extra chucked on the end.
May 20, 201411 yr comment_183642 In the past even with a voucher I've had it run from the day it was issued. But then when I bought my renewal the other day at Thorpe they randomly stuck two extra weeks on it for me so I think it's pot luck. Depending how much time you have left on it, you're best way would probably be to buy the replacement if you're going to lose anything more than four weeks IMO.
May 20, 201411 yr comment_183695 I have a month left on my old one but I have lost it so basically I'm wondering if there is any chance of just handing that voucher in and get a new pass with the old time added on instead of paying the £10 for the lost pass and waiting a month
