0 rossafc Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 £50 may well be expensive but fastrack platinum (equivilant to ultimate at thorpe) at Alton is £75 each :0£75 at alton ! ;)I cant see how people would pay for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mer Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Fastrack, 9 times out of 10, is what makes guests angry on busy days and what gets staff getting moaned at. Just for doing their job.It would really help if the Sales department didn't over-sell! That's when Fastrack queues reach 45 minutes!! And the number of people that turn up hours before their time slot and say they were told to ignore the times...grr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TimR Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think they are only supposed to sell around 20 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TPMSam Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 When I went TP on the 14th the max queues were around 2hrs but I got ultimate FT and IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got on 29 rides on a busy day and 13 of them were saw and 7 were stealth well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan9 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!£50? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got on 29 rides on a busy day and 13 of them were saw and 7 were stealth well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have ever only got 1 Ultimate Fastrack.For me, Ultimates are only worth it at Thorpe Park if you think that all your rides you want to go on, that are on the pass, are going to be available.I got mine as a birthday treat so I did not have to pay. However, If I did, I would be very wary of the rides available and whether breakdowns are happening on the rides I would like to go on.(Fortunately, their were no breakdowns that day and I got on loads!)I will say Ultimate Fastrack is worth it as a special treat every year or two.Until then, I will stick with singular fastrack tickets. (only if needed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Matty22 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 £50 - a total ripeven if you do get a lot of rides.if you think non AP holders already pay around:Entrance- £35Food- £10Photo/souvenir - £10add £50 to that it works out at over £100 per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rossafc Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 It is far too expensive, the prices should be lowered for all fastrack I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James6 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I still don't get why they got rid of the free fastrack a few years ago! It worked well and was fair. It really made the day feel more value in a weird way.I hope they bring it back , I know it's 99.9% not going to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rossafc Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 ^^Like at Disneyland, that improves the visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James6 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yea! IMO it's amazing how much being able to get on even just 1 or 2 rides with little or no wait improves the day out. Feels like the park is trying to help you out and is doing whatever possible to make your day better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rocket Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I might get it in the summer for my birthday-on the 11th of July (my party) depending on availability and queues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Theme Park bloke Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Fastrack - something I used to love when it was free. Something I know loathe.If Thorpe can offer 20% off on food, drink and gifts for Annual Pass holders, they can at least offer a discount for all Fastrack tickets, even if it's only a 10% or 15% saving.But at the way it is at the moment, there's not a hope in hell I'll ever use Fastrack.

0 UnderItAll Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Iv never used it.It sounds expensive, but, if so many people didn't use fastrack at all, and it was a more exclusive VIP type of treatment, then I can see it being a good idea, but if its overused, I can see it getting annoying for other guests.

0 James6 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I wouldn't mind it quite so much as I do if it didn't increase the Main que so hugely , but once when I was at Thorpe they were doing one train for Fastrack one train normal que, which was just ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rocket Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 can you pre-order,because it only lets me with a 1 day ticket but me and 3 of my mates are AP holders so we dont need that.should I just go to the fastrack till straight away and get it then??or should I go on the rides and then go back to get it?

I would purchase fastrack in the dome, by Colossus or by Tidal Wave's Fastrack and Information booth. (Or at the entrance at Thorpe Park).Pre-Ordering Tickets - I have tried before but I had the same trouble as I would have had to buy a ticket too. (And I am also an AP holder).The best thing I could reconmend is just to go into Thorpe Park and then purchase Fastrack, if you think it is needed, from one of the 4 places where available.Hope this helps.
