0 jom222 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 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.

0 GeorgiaKandyB Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 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?

0 OldFarmerDean Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 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.

0 GeorgiaKandyB Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 OK thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MarkC Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tom Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marc Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 ^ 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoshC. Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 ^ 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.

0 Flipper Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 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.

0 MarkC Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
