November 5, 20159 yr comment_222746 I'm surprised no-one else picked up on this, but the 2016 opening times have been released. https://www.thorpepark.com/resort-information/getting-here/ They leave a lot to be desired aside from Fright Nights with peak summer season being just a 6pm close, and for the first time in several years (I think) there are midweek closures in September and October.
November 5, 20159 yr comment_222749 No surprise - hopefully if the season starts well they can add improve them. Don't think they've closed in the week since 2004 ish?
November 5, 20159 yr comment_222758 At least Fright Nights hours haven't been cut. A shame to see the park having to close on certain days of the season, but like Marc says, it's not surprising given just how quiet those days would be. However, given they're currently planned to be quite late in the season, we can hope that if the first few months of the season are promising, they can actually end up opening on these days.
November 6, 20159 yr comment_222772 Gotta save that money somehow... That said, it's common as hell abroad that most parks don't open midweek, though usually cos these places have no budget more than anything...
November 6, 20159 yr comment_222805 so is the park open on week days next year??? there was an article somewhere which said it would ONLY be open weekends and holidays but on the sire it says from the 17th of march it will be open every day as per usual????
November 6, 20159 yr comment_222806 so is the park open on week days next year??? there was an article somewhere which said it would ONLY be open weekends and holidays but on the sire it says from the 17th of march it will be open every day as per usual???? The park is open most days next year from March 17th, until the beginning of November, bar a few weekdays in September and October.
November 7, 20159 yr comment_222822 There was a point this year where it said the park was closed throughout fright nights. I'm pretty sure it's common for them to say the park is randomly closed on certain days while they finalize opening hours. I wouldn't take that to mean definite mid-week closures, even if there is a possibility of it. If I was an investor that that just lumped a huge amount of cash into wc16, that wouldn't give me a whole lot of confidence about the success of their newest addition though...
November 7, 20159 yr comment_222826 Closing the season on a weekday too!? No final weekend besides fright nights
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223115 My friend has just told me that the park have confirmed over facebook that during September and October the park will be closed every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Cant post a link as I'm not part of facebook and wouldnt even know where to look for the comment!
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223133 yeah it says it on the website if you look at opening times, it's all on there... although this year the wednesday and thursday before first weekend of fright nights were originally open, then changed to closed and then reverted back to being open again..
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223148 That might be what's planned, but it doesn't mean that's what will happen. It's always changing this far out.
December 23, 20159 yr comment_225174 Just noticed a tweet from TP tonight Saying they will be open selected Saturdays from early 2016, not sure if they meant just the annual pass building or the actual park? Assume very limited rides would be open if it were the park
December 24, 20159 yr comment_225179 Presumably just the AP building, since that is usually open on some weekends during winter. I doubt it'd be the park itself since they're not opening for February half term.
December 24, 20159 yr comment_225185 That's what I thought but they confusingly said the park would be open selected Saturdays from beginning 2016
December 24, 20159 yr comment_225186 Hi, the park will be open on selected Saturdays at the beginning of 2016 so you can come then! Not great wording as it does make it sound like the park will be open, but I'm sure they just mean the AP building.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_225350 Jesus Christ how hard is it to get these things right first time? It must get really boring constantly having to clarify what you meant.
February 8, 20169 yr comment_227795 ^ noticed that today! Maybe it is permanently closed and we're all very gullible... (Or just that Google is wrong )
February 8, 20169 yr comment_227798 Google maps doesn't have a temporarily closed status. The only possibilities are open or permanently closed. I frequently tour the theme park world on google maps and everything appears to be closed...
February 8, 20169 yr comment_227800 Google maps doesn't have a temporarily closed status. The only possibilities are open or permanently closed. I frequently tour the theme park world on google maps and everything appears to be closed... Looking on it tonight for a project and none of the others have anything about whether they're open or not, just Thorpe
February 8, 20169 yr comment_227803 Well perhaps the options are open, permanently closed or just nothing.
February 8, 20169 yr comment_227804 Well perhaps the options are open, permanently closed or just nothing.They do it during closed season I think(hope)
