No possible Thrill Chill?

No possible Thrill Chill?

So people can freeze whilst 5 rides are open?I think it's in the park's best interests not to attempt it unless they KNOW they can get as many rides as possible operating at opening throughout the day...

[Marc]

I think after last time they tried it I cant see them again any time soon, its not that the rides wernt ready, they were they just physically wouldnt work in the conditions.

Is there going to be an annual pass day?

[Ricky]

Is there going to be an annual pass day?

I'd imagine so, last year was quite a success!

[Laelda_95]

I really hope there is one, and if there is one, that it will be on a weekend.... I'd hate to miss out cuz I have school!

[Marc]

http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/opening-times.aspx - Open times already out for next year, much the same as this year although there are no more 5pm weekend closes (not that they ever did this year anyway!)

[StevenVig]

I Wonder whats happening on 29th March - 1st April for 10- 7 closes?

Also noticed that theres no November times, could this mean that the season has become even shorter for 2013!? Finishing on Halloween itself

I guess its because its still showing this years november, I'm sure it will be open for a week or so in november.

That's Easter Weekend I believe, so they'll no doubt be doing an event. Will be interesting to see if it's another Ministry of Sound event or something different; would love to see the return of Twisted Carnival personally!

[Marc]

I'm surprised theyve not put Fright nights back to 10, or atleast some of them.

Many of the dates were actually extended till 10pm anyway.

[Mitchada04]

I'm glad that each weekend is at least 10-6. Sepetember weekends were unusually busy this year so it's nice to see they take note and the whole of summer holidays is 10-7 which again is great as the last week this year was heaving and only 10-6. Like the new green for 10-5 days too. No 9:30 openings though (possible hint of ert?)

[Marc]

The park very often opened at 9:30 during the weekends / school holidays anyway. ERT would be nice though!

[Mitchada04]

The times for FN have changed, whilst it is still the same dates they are now going to be open until 10:30 pm! I really hope this actually happens

Yes! 10:30 is awesome closing time but I'm not sure how I would get home that late in the evening

This is actually going well, if thorpe could extend all their opening times by 1 hour, then we would have an awesome theme park with the longest hours in the UK! I hope one day thorpe will be like Disney, and will have the park open until about midnight!

So go on thorpe park, make all the days at least till 6:00 but most days later than that....

P.s I think we will have thorpe blast back this year but seeing as fright night has been extended, could be have that until 9:30 maybe? Also is thorpe blast generally busy? Thanks guys!

[Mattgwise]

Although this is good I never understand why Thorpe Park change things so often. Didn't they change it to 9pm as to save money as the last hour is often quiet, and now they go the opposite and open later than before?!?!?

The ideas and changes often seem so random.

[Marc]

Last year they did quite often extend open hours on fright nights and indeed throughout the year, which have been reflected in this years open times.

[pluk]

That is excellent. I might just go again!

[Ricky]

I remember in the old days FN being so busy you would be riding Stealth at gone 11 nearly 12

[Graeme]

No mention of ERT though, thought this would be the perfect time to introduce it alongside crash pad!

[JAMMYD777]

Is it just me or have the time on the Opening Times page for the website been reverted back to their previous times?

I hope not as I was looking for to the 10:30pm Fright Nights close.

[AstroDan]

Where is this mention of 10.30pm? I see it nowhere?

[JAMMYD777]

Earlier today, the website was updated which advertised that the Fright Nights day on the 'Opening Times' calendar would be 10am - 10:30pm. This has since been changed back to 10am - 9pm. I'm guessing they have made a mistake. Shame

[TPJames]

Real shame... the times were up there earlier- it might has just been an accidental change or something. But if they deliberately did it and then changed their mind, we could be seeing the times extended!

No mention of ERT though, thought this would be the perfect time to introduce it alongside crash pad!

I have been thinking that a long time but I think now that thorpe will only introduce it when their permanent hotel has arrived its a shame but you cant always have it your way Has anyone thought about LRT(late ride time) because if they introduced that it would give crash pad guests something to do for an extra hour and they wouldnt have to get up early!

I remember in the old days FN being so busy you would be riding Stealth at gone 11 nearly 12

Haha, I havent experienced something like this because I am usually out of the park 5/10 mins after closing time but it is acutally the queue which closes at the 'closing time' which is stupid because if stealth had a four hour queue, you would be there till 1:00 am on a fright night, but thorpe cannot do this system any other way becuase people would complain...

[Marc]

Seems a odd mistake to make, seeing as somone would have to go in and change it, dont see why else they would change open times.

Wouldnt atall be surprised for things to be changing just not 100% finalised yet.
