July 1, 200817 yr comment_29059 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.
July 1, 200817 yr comment_29062 I think ive done just over 3 hours for stealth (that was including a breakdown) but that was when stealth was new!
July 30, 200817 yr comment_30191 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.
July 31, 200817 yr comment_30254 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!

Queueing is very British you know (lol)

August 5, 200817 yr comment_30442 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.

Wrong, but hey, rules are made to be broken.Or they will say sorry single rider q does not exsist and ask you to q normally.. Anyway, onto single rider queues, and why the hell did Thorpe ever remove them? And as for paying for Fastrack...meh.Because they clogged up exits and fastrack queues..

August 7, 200817 yr comment_30531 I'll know to tell them to shove it when someone tries that on with me!
August 7, 200817 yr comment_30538 Roughly two and half hours for Stealth yesterday. That included a breakdown & it was only on one train.
August 7, 200817 yr comment_30539 I'll know to tell them to shove it when someone tries that on with me!Do you work at one of the parks then?
September 15, 200816 yr comment_32950 Big negative about being Scottish - Miles away from any good theme parkBig plus about being Scottish - We have different holidays so can visit Thorpe Park when its got tiny queues!
September 16, 200816 yr comment_32951 Big negative about being Scottish - Miles away from any good theme parkBig plus about being Scottish - We have different holidays so can visit Thorpe Park when its got tiny queues!Isnt there one theme park in Scottland?Is It any good is it?
September 16, 200816 yr comment_32956 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!
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33009 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.
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33013 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.
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33056 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
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33060 Sunday was pretty mellow, I think the biggest queue a saw was 45 mins but don't quote me on that, Marc will be able to say for def but ah wells!

September 20, 200816 yr comment_33329 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.I can't see how it looks longer myself, when it clearly is a few metres shorter.
