Opening Times

[Ricky]

As have I. I too have heard THORPE holding a Annual Pass day a week before opening.

[Dan9]

For people who want to see the new 2010 opening times and be able to make sense of them, here they are on the Thorpe Park website.Don't ever click on this.What's odd is Fright Nights. There are no 10am - 8pm openings, only 10am - 10pm, with the mid-week Monday - Thursday dates only being 10am - 5pm. It seems that Fright Nights will not actually be on for these dates, only on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays from 8th October, and then all days throughout Half Term.

It also shows that THORPE BLAST has been cancelled again. :)Perhaps it's gone for good?

It was never organised for 2010, so how could it have been cancelled again?

[Jamie W]

By cancelled, I simply meant that it was not on next year.

[Ricky]

Don't you mean " I simply meant that it IS not on next year"? As WAS is indicating it WAS in the past.

The only ride that didn't open on Thrill Chill's open day was Colossus and as the event went on more rides were added to the line up (Flying Fish, Detonator and Rush). In fact on the actual open day for all rides, the only ones that were open really were the ones that had been open for over a month already.

[Ricky]

Mark Rush failed to open at all.

[Dan9]

To clarify everything, Colossus and Rush were on the original list to open for February, Colossus opened it's queue line on opening day but never sent a train as it broke down immeadiately (it was open most other days though) and Rush didn't open until after Half Term.

Colossus opened it's queue line on opening day but never sent a train as it broke down immeadiately (it was open most other days though)

Colossus did send round empty trains on the first day of the season.Then as soon as the queue opened, apparently a "major technical difficulty" had occured and we were evacuated via the Emergency Exit Door in the station. (If you were in the station obviously ) and issued with an Exit Pass.Is it still called an Exit Pass at Thorpe Park or is it a Ride Priority Pass?

[StevenVig]

I believe they're called Ride Priority Passes now, but it was most likely called a Ride Exit Pass when you were issued one during Thrill Chill

they are used for the same thing.the ride priority pass is given for an evac or breakdown while the exit pass is given at guest services for unsatified customers.the ride priority pass gives you a select few rides and you use the fastrack entrance while an exit pass gives you every ride but saw the ride and you enter via the exit.

An exit pass gives you access to every ride?

I think Sam means that you can use your Exit Pass on any ride you wish apart from SAW: The Ride. :(Please feel free to correct me Sam, 'smartguy'if I am incorrect.

[Lordcutter6]

Hence Sam why you like to join ques if the ride is broken down to see if you can get a pass

[Ricky]

I will break down the differences. As you may know there are different color slips. EACH color represents a different cause IE Blue = Fastrack Priority Pass ( I haven't the faintest idea which other colors I did get told but that was a long time ago).

[StevenVig]

Great Breakdown

[Topsyturvy15]

They are still doing the alton towers one but I can understande why thorpe arent having one

[Mark9]

Mark Rush failed to open at all.

I thought it opened 2 weeks before the official start to the season.. It was definitely open at some point because it was open on both AP day and TPM's Saw preview day.

[AstroDan]

I am a little dissapointed to learn that the advertised 7:00pm ride closes in Half Term week have now been scrapped, and it has simply reverted to 6:00pm. I was looking forward to a long, lazy day. Alas.

[Mattgwise]

That is quite annoying. I'm quite surprised actually as the park has been quite busy this year.

Thorpe Park reopen's for the 2011 season on 17th March 2011!
