0 rossafc Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 A quick question:Years ago, Thorpe Park used to have fastrack like Disney's where you paid a tiny bit extra then a normal ticket and the you got unlimited fastpass on any ride, yet you were only allowed one ride at a time...Yet now you have to buy seperate packages for a lot more money. Why did they change it?I would guess to make more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James6 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yep , that system was awesome, fair, and improved the day incredibly, I've heard from some people the reason was because some people were abusing it, yet I don't see how they could and also, If Disney can get it to work effectively then surely it's worth doing.

0 Mark9 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 It didn't work because you used to scan your ticket and get a ticket for a certain time. The problem being is that tickets would run out very quickly (you had to be there, as soon as the park opened basically) and the other thing being, enthusiasts would collect tickets then scan them all at once getting lots of fastrack tickets. That and it made no money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 themeparkmad Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 does ultimate fastrack give you stealth front?I am not 100% sure.I looked on my Ultimate Ticket which I found on my only ever Ultimate Ticket brought. (Don't know why I still have it but it may come in useful now for you! )It does sayStealthStealth PPI think Stealth PP means Stealth Pole Position which I think means you can ride on the front row.I am sure regular Thorpe Park visitors or staff will correct me if I am wrong.

0 Daniel Watson Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 £70 ....if I didnt have an annual pass I think I'd buy one just so I could come back and return when its quieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 themeparkmad Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 £70 ....if I didnt have an annual pass I think I'd buy one just so I could come back and return when its quieterMaybe it is me reading this wrong but...Ultimate Fastracks are only valid for the day of purchase. You can't buy one and use it again when you return on another visit.All Ultimate Fastrack wristbands and tickets are dated on the day of purchase.

0 Ben1990 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Themeparkmad I think what Daniel meant is that he would rather buy an annual pass than ultimate fastrack, and come back when the park's quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Jake C Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 does ultimate fastrack give you stealth front?yes it does you have to queue the top bit though and not the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sidders Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm sorry... I didn't catch that?The top bit...? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jamie W Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm sorry... I didn't catch that?The top bit...? :SI think he means that you go to the exit, not the fastrack queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jake C Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 no you dont go through the exit, you go up the fastrack queue and say you want to sit at the front then you queue the platform bit for the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 StevenVig Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can confirm that as of today Ultimate Fastrack is now £60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jamie W Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can confirm that as of today Ultimate Fastrack is now £60 And I thought £50 was overpriced! I can't believe it, the price has gone up by 50% in the last season! Have THORPE PARK not heard of a little thing known as the credit crunch?

Have THORPE PARK not heard of a little thing known as the credit crunch?The Credit Crunch means nothing to the Guests of Thorpe. Ultimate Sold out today I believe. Along with Retail & F&B Outlets Raking it in...I sold 13 ponchos at £5 each today thats £65 in one transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sidders Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Okay, no offence to Thorpe, but that does take the biscuit a little bit; seeing as they are virtually charging an extra 20% on top of the original price for just one new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
