No surprises here really; Fastrack was always rumoured to be unavailable for the first month or so. But I guess if your paying up to £500 then you get the right to be above everyone else. Ugh, why can't everyone be treated equally and not go by the logic of 'more money equals better treatment'.. dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 People are discussing the tent's relevance in the general Derren Beown's Ghost Train topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 4 hours ago, Martin.C said: Seems odd if this tent is for timed tickets because Thorpe generally like seeing big queues on their rides so they can sell more Fastrack to the guests, so wouldn't this reduce Fastrack sales instead? Either that or we could be seeing something similar again to Vampire in April 2015 where it only ran a 1 train operation and unless you made it to the ride's entrance before 10:15am just after the park opens, you couldn't get on it for the day as they sold out of time slots. Hopefully that won't happen if it does open this weekend as it will annoy a lot of people who arrive later into the park. Hence why they haven't announced it opening... I think the limited timed tickets will happen. So noone can complain they're annoyed it ran out of slots. Well they will, but if it's not officially announced as open, then they haven't got a leg to stand on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 The tent is now gone again, and so this confirms it was for an after hours event only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I won't be conTENT until they reveal to us what ideas they have PITCHED about this ride! Us enthusiasts are practically CAMPING outside the ride to find out any details possible! In all seriousness though, it's probably close to opening soon right? The mysterious tent just makes me more curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Allgood Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 There's ALOT of staff milling around today... As much as I would love for them to open it today I don't see it happening. Maybe Monday or Tuesday? But I guess there just open it without saying L7123456 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 The tent is in there as well, maybe for hotel guest previews? As in a place where they can show their room keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hotel guests going on first? Oh well there's goes our hopes in trying to ride it first. Might as as well just wait until 2018 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I understand they did this during park hours which frankly I find appalling. What a huge kick in the teeth for everyone on park today to see people being let in when they've spent all that money. Thankfully I wasn't there, I've lost interest in this attraction but yet again they've completely mismanaged something which will cause annoyance and upset amongst the majority of paying customers!
