Guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 The longest I've queued is for Colossus, and that was over 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 With me the longest queue I've probably done is waiting 3.5+ hours for the freezer, I had never been on anything like it at the time and all the people I was with were very excited and just had to go in the maze.Nowadays I see no point queuing more than 45 mins for a good ride at Thorpe, as ive been on them so much I might as well just go on the ride when it is shorter the next time I visit. I may stretch to an hour if I'm forced but really for me unless I haven't done it before then that is as long as I would usually queue.

Marc Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think ive done just over 3 hours for stealth (that was including a breakdown) but that was when stealth was new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill Seeker Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I rarely que much, I buy the Ultimate Fast-track every time I go to Thorpe Park, which avoids this completely. The longest I've waited for any ride, was when I waited 25 minutes for The Samurai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJones Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Probs 1.5 hours for stealth, was a hot day, old man behind me, shirt off and the worst beo I have ever had to experiance!I had my Ipod Video therefore I was watching family guy episodes which made time fly by, everyone else In the que looking at me a spite as they knew I wasn't bored!

Theme Park bloke Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 About a month ago I went to the park and queued for Samurai in the Fastrack queue. I didn't have a Fastrack ticket, but I stood there, and when asked if I did have one, I put on the impression "Oh, sorry, I thought this was the single rider queue." As it was only me waiting he let me in for a ride. My plan worked. Remember that guys, if you're on your own and there's a long queue, and you want to eagerly get on, queue in the Fastrack queue and act that you think it's a single rider queue when they ask you for your Fastrack ticket. Wrong, but hey, rules are made to be broken.Anyway, onto single rider queues, and why the hell did Thorpe ever remove them? And as for paying for Fastrack...meh.

Knucklecoaster Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 On Saturday Nemesis Inferno broke down and we where waiting over an hour when normally queue's for NI are about 20mins max! But Colossus was the longest 1hr 35mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yes, I've noticed Colossus queues have been long lately. Especially since it re-opened after the nets, and especially too when Stealth is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think Colossus's queue now visually looks quite longer because of the extension being cut down slightly, thus the queue will go back round a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonThorpe Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I personally avoid big queues, or get fasttrack. The longest I've ever seen was 2 hours for stealth!! So we went to banana boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
