Arrive with no booking?

[JP2002]

My son (17 Y.O) is going to Thorpe Park next week with a couple of friends who have pre booked (All Merlin annual premium pass holders ) and another now wants to go but can't book online with his premium annual pass as there is no availability. He is thinking of winging it on the day and going with them - do you reckon they will let him in? Otherwise he will be stuck for hours waiting for his friends. I reckon they may just let him in. We went as a family recently and only had to scan our cards not show any tickets.

Admittedly checking of tickets at Thorpe has been rare, despite Towers actively checking. However with it being what they expect to be the busiest part of Fright Nights they may well check tickets. Its a 50/50 gamble really TBH.

If he doesn’t get in on a full day ticket, all pass holders can get in from 2 o’clock onwards. He will just have to pre book.

Not that I recommend doing so, but I have been to 3 Fright Nights so far this season and haven't been checked for a pre book once. 

 

These were quieter days so they may now be more hot on it now its half term.

As they don't even bother to check if you're pre-booked to visit, do we know if they are even bothering to cap the numbers. They say they are but they also say you need to pre-book to visit.

It would be disappointing if they bounce you back though.

I mean it's not like MAP holders can possibly EVER revisit on another day is it?
