Lordcutter6 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi all. Merlin have now made a pass just for Thorpe park. I have bough mine already online, but what do you think? Is it worth paying £64 to go to one park when you can pay £110 for about 10 places? Place your thoughts here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you only ever intend to visit thorpe park then yea its well worth saving 50 quid, but only if your sure your only going to visit thorpe tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah I only think its worth it if your only gonna visit Thorpe and nowhere else. If everywhere else did an AP for £64, that would be £640, but you could just get one for all places for £110. I think if I was gonna visit the other places I'd take the £530 saving. Not that my post made any sense then but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I got my annual pass from tesco clubcard too, which is good because we have such a big family and we get loads of points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneOwn Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Is it true that you can use your annual pass as a fast pass in the last hour of the day at thorpe park? I was told this by some random annual pass holders and me and my sister tried it out on Colossus. But the ride attendant was really foreign and didnt really know much, but we still go onto Colossus for free and without queing for 2 hours. We then tried it out on Vortex and we were 'almost' laughed at by this girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nope. Thats only at Chessington during the 6 week summer holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneOwn Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Is it still at chessington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 That happened last season! some random guy went up to the attendant as I was talking to her and showed her hs pass, she didnt know what do to and actually asked me if it was valid! I didnt really know what to say, he got on anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP-Daniel Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I get mine through Tesco, I've got my 5th one this year! I think the Thorpe Annual Pass is worth it if that is the only place you are going to visit defientely but I'm sure most people will go to Chessington to on an occasion which would make it more sensible to have a Merlin one.

Charlie Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well I think that if you have a large family, it is defiantly worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed9406 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 How much is it to renew a Thorpe only annual pass??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Looks to me like its £64.Anyone know what this is about... Annual pass cardholders can now obtain a photo pass for the special price of £15.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Looks to me like its £64.Anyone know what this is about...The 20% discount- like at Alton Towers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCharlie Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 In all honesty, the 20% discount we receive just makes everything else the price they should be. There's no real 'discount'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 It realy depends I have a Thorpe Park annual pass I have already saved about 60 quid with it. But I live very close to thorpe park I'm about 50 mins away. I dont realy visit Alton towers etc. so I dont need a merlin one. As you can see it depends how close you are and what parks you prefer to go to.TimR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Looks to me like its £64.So there's no renewal rate then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well here is the page on the official site about Thorpe Park AP's, I can't see anything on there at all about a renewal rate, and I've not seen a renewal rate on any posters at the park or anything, so it must be £64.

AeRo Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 My annual pass has always been done through Tesco. The current price for the Merlin pass is £31.50 in vouchers. I can't really see the value of a one park pass. I was in London last weekend, and we went to Thorpe on Sunday and Monday plus we popped onto the Eye on Sunday night. Wehn I was down in May, we nipped over to Legoland and Chessington, as well as Thorpe. At Christmas, we are more than likely to check out Madam Tussauds. That is in addition to half a dozen visits to Alton Towers.So, whilst the Alton Towers pass may be a decent deal - London is a long way from Alton, the Thorpe and Chessington passes would not appeal to me at all.

Elliot Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 That's well worth it, I'll usually go with a 2 for 1 making it £16.50 or a ten pound bounce back, which is best, in theory it pays for itself twice and I'd love to go enough times for it to be paid for if I were just using bounce backs, I'm getting one next year and I doubt I'll regret it.
