Lordcutter6 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth888 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake C Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 its actully not worked for thorpe the pre booking thing, as people dont go because they get confused and dont get there tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 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.

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.

themeparkmad Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 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.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?

stealth888 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
