May 22, 20241 yr comment_318185 Looking forward to my day at Legoland this Friday. Nothing else going on right?
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318189 Thorpe apparently now selling one shot Fastrack separately from the hoops you originally needed to jump through. Poor decision if true. Guess as the first few days haven't completely sold out they need to make up the expected income streams.

Guess as the first few days haven't completely sold out they need to make up the expected income streams. I think they'll make more than enough through merch and food sales anyways in those first few days. But yeah, a surprise that they've removed those hoops to get the Fastrack. Even if they're confident with the operations and everything, and even if they're limiting the numbers, it just makes sense to have as few Fastrack as physically possible, surely? Also, they're not planning to run the front row queue from opening, so it shows they do know how to make operational decisions which could have reasoning behind them. My biggest surprise is that no date is currently sold out. With Friday and Saturday apparently having a reduced capacity, and it being half term, I'd have thought one day would be sold out by now.
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318191 Presume because it IS half term it's meant that people have spread out the visits rather than the single weekend.
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318192 Dynamic ticket pricing for tomorrow now up to £52... I think the most it can get up to is £59 then it's a sell out, from memory? Similarly though, am very surprised tomorrow isn't sold out. Going to be interesting to see how the crowd management goes, hats off to Thorpe for the prep on that one. Hyperia one shot Fasttracks are priced at £20.... I wouldn't even consider that price point personally but some evidently would and will do so. But then, if that's the case, then it's priced right I suppose!
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318193 I’m a bit disappointed, but not surprised, that they’re offering Fastrack already. But I suppose no business is going to turn down anyone who is prepared to give them £20 for opening a gate 🤷♂️ A little worrying that even at this very moment the site is under construction too, just a few hours before media launch…. This is all so exciting though - can’t believe it’s actually time to open! After all this time Thorpe are opening a new coaster! Looking forward to seeing the live blogs etc tonight. Will TPM be there?
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318194 What do we think the queues are going to be like after half term? Is it going to drop to regular term time queue lengths, or stay consistent throughout the whole summer?

May 23, 20241 yr comment_318197 And a new thread, for discussion of the ride, and any 'spoilers' of the station interior, is set up here:

The dynamic pricing on the website at least gives you an idea of which days are quieter. At a wild guess - 90-120 minutes for half term, then 30-60 on weekdays start of June?
May 23, 20241 yr comment_318200 TBH if I was there tomorrow I’d probably pay the £20 fast track…. Do we expect the queue to die down seeems like ages since this has been done at Thorpe lol. I remember going for swarm after school on opening day and lapping it as the crowds dies down significantly.

I’m thinking of heading up on the 3rd and am curious to see whether they’ll be some sort of overspill from half term! The dynamic price is looking pretty par for the course as is. I’ll let you know how it goes!
