October 29, 200915 yr comment_74880 Yesterday Colossus was 45 mins, Nemesis advertised as 60/50 mins but I would say it was only 30 mins. Stealth had 1 hour. Rush went down towards 6 pm to 20 mins, Vortex 10-15. Mazes : Hellgate was 45 mins, Asylum 90, Curse 30 and Se7en was big with about 75 mins. Other rides had small ques as well. I agree the pre book only has helped.
October 29, 200915 yr comment_74910 I don't know if anyone has noticed but on the TP website it says in a red banner at the top that the tickets have nearly run out for the 30th and 31st of October.I'm not sure if this is a selling technique or real facts, but either way I'm not looking forward to the queues tomorrow. Oh well, I'm still bursting with excitement

Oh well, I'm still bursting with excitement Marketing technique, most probally.
October 29, 200915 yr comment_74919 Still can't get as bad as last year with pre-book only this year looking on the bright side
October 30, 200915 yr comment_74984 its actully not worked for thorpe the pre booking thing, as people dont go because they get confused and dont get there tickets.
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75003 My worst queue at Thorpe Park was about 70 minutes queuing for Saw in July. The worst queue I have seen at the park again is Saw when it was roughly about a 100 minutes. Generally I prefer to visit in school time to avoid the queues, it makes the day much more enjoyable.

The worst queue I have seen at the park again is Saw when it was roughly about a 100 minutes. Generally I prefer to visit in school time to avoid the queues, it makes the day much more enjoyable.I would love to be able to visit in school time, but unfortunately I am at school! I get seriously jealous at the trip reports I read with 0/5 minute queues all day, but it's just an impracticality for me. Even when we have an inset day, it seems to be the same situation with almost every other school in the country, so the park is very busy.
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75043 I couldn't find an exact topic for this, so I thought that one would be appropriate...THORPE PARK is completely sold out for 31st October.Only tickets that have been pre-booked for this date will be accepted.Tickets are still available for purchase on the 1st November however.EDIT - Just saw this in the Fright Nights topic. Apolgies!
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75135 its actully not worked for thorpe the pre booking thing, as people dont go because they get confused and dont get there tickets.Sure, Thorpe loose lots, but isn't that better then having lots and lots of complaints and unhappy guests? Anyway, it's good for us

I get seriously jealous at the trip reports I read with 0/5 minute queues all day, but it's just an impracticality for me. Even when we have an inset day, it seems to be the same situation with almost every other school in the country, so the park is very busy.I was going to mention inset days, but as you said some schools all share the same date. When I went in July I had finished in June because of my exams and my my friends college also finishes a week earlier than most schools, so thats why we chose to visit that day. Maybe you could persuade your school to take you on a trip there, they do offer educational talks and other stuff for schools, worth trying I guess?
October 31, 200915 yr comment_75154 Just to update and everything,yesterday I went with friends from school and we only went on 8 rides.Sure, we could of got on a lot more if it wasn't for them getting food every 10 minutes but the queues were the biggest ive seen in a long time.PEAK:saw-2.5 hoursColossus-100 minsnemesis-90 minsSTEALTH WAS SHUT AGAIN!

March 15, 201015 yr comment_86460 Hello everyone! Going on the 27th of this month and was wondering about queue times. I know no one has a crystal ball, but I have never been this time of year, Will be a Saturday but not in the holidays.Rough queue times would be much appreciated!Thanks
March 15, 201015 yr comment_86463 Queue times shouldnt be too long, maybe the longest you would have to wait is around 30 minutes! If your lucky enough . Everyone will be waiting for the holidays! so your going just the right time!
March 15, 201015 yr comment_86466 hmmmm........Just random guesses here but I'm roughly guessing the park would be busy.(because of the rush after the closed period)(bearing in mind its a saturday as well),AVGSaw: Alive-1-1 and a half hrsSaw-70-80 minsColossus-60 minsNemesis-30-60 minsStealth 40 mins-1hrChris

March 15, 201015 yr comment_86469 arent thorpe keeping up the staggered queue times using the free SAW ALIVE fastrack???
March 15, 201015 yr comment_86471 EDIT: (to ryan)Do you think?I'm not too sure on the Saw Alive.I thought everyone may be wanting to get on it first. look how popular fright night is.......but thats only once a year. I dont know, maybe your right the season hasnt started yet, we'll have to wait and see what the response is from the public
