So hopefully any impact from them is limited.My point about the premium pass fast track is that most of the daily allocation will likely go to Hyperia.I don’t see that being as much of an issue at other parks. For example, at Towers I imagine a high percentage would be split on Smiler, Wickerman, and Nemesis.Just my thoughts anyway from what I've observed, no facts.
March 28Mar 28 Author comment_330493 They should have kept the price high. It's weird Towers is charging £20 for one of their coasters, yet Thorpe have reduced the cost of a one shot of their newest coaster foe their newest coaster.I'd hope that yesterday's long Fastrack queues is a one off due to the mixture of the taste unlimited Fastrack, first day having extra Premium Passholders, etcThe Premium Passholder perk of one free Fastrack per visit is a real wildcard and I expect we'll see lots of quirks over the coming weeks. I agree most people will end up wanting to use their's on Hyperia at Thorpe.
April 6Apr 6 comment_330565 It appears some visible work has happened to the splashdown.Although I remember the same thing happening last year at some point and nothing seemed to happen. Strange.
April 8Apr 8 comment_330583 I don't like splashes, I don't like pipework, erm, I don't like, don't like, lake water, particuarly, I don't like sweeping brushes, I don't like much really do I? but what I do like, I love passionately

It has been a flat £20 every day for the last 2 seasons so not sure why its been reduced, certainly going to have more people buying it.I was actually wrong about this, there are 3 prices for Fastrack with super off peak being £8. So today Hyperia has a 75 minute queue and Fastrracks are only £8. Very strange decision.

Very strange decision.Perhaps one train meant the fast track wasn't so fast.Why when it's on one train, must it vallet into the station so slowly from the break run? Surely the computer could speed it up.
