James6 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I know my school has activity days that week, the Thursday and Friday I think, I remember because its going to be my first full day at Thorpe Park this year, and actually probably my only full day at Thorpe Park this year. :)I'm hoping it's not going to be heaving, but not expecting it to be quiet.

Paul Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Okay thanks James I'm hoping it to be quite quiet, the end of Year 11 is really the only opportunity I'm going get in the near future of visiting out of peak time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I can see queues for the main coasters getting to an hour or above. Flats easily reach 30 minutes. 99% of exams are finished and many schools are going to have trips there. Along with that, better weather means more people pulling a sickie from work, and even school.

Paul Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ah dang Oh well, still it should be a great deal quieter than mid-summer holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBen Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Looks like now is a good time to head over there, I went today and the longest queue I faced was 40mins for Colossus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Now is definitely a good time to go there, no queues for anything. Apart from they're all shut. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 That's really surprising. Not good for short queues then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry.D.C Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hello Everyone,Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for rough queue times on the 7th of July? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Mid-week, all year 11's will have finished their exams, many schools (private) will have broken up, and LOTS of school trips will be taking place. I'd expect 60mins+ for the coasters, 30-60 for the flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummiguy Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm visiting on Monday and I was wondering if anyone could give me an educated guess at what queues will be like. I went during the first year of summer hols last year and it was surprisingly quiet but I was wondering if someone had a rough idea. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Your guess is as good as ours.I don't know why people plan trips for the summer holidays, traditionally the parks second busiest period, if they are so concerned about long queues. Just go and enjoy yourselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdocoffee Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yesterday at around 11.30 to 12 the queue for Saw: The Ride was 2 hours and 20 minutes! The queue was starting outside the queue area. Needless to say we decided to wait 40 minutes for Stealth instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I just don't understand where these times come from. Three times I have entered the queue when it has been full to the entrance and it never took any longer than 80 minutes all three times.

thorpeparkjack Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Fastrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Fastrack would not affect it like that, unless they had about 800 fastrackers in that time. Either that is a very very lying board, or they had like one shuttle thing on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpeparkjack Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well this summer everytime I go the fastrack queue is up to the photo point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
