Thorpe Park 14th July

[Immenseman]

i went alton towers middle of easter on a saturday, it was hardly busy, was awesome. was still like 30 min queues for some bits come like 2pm but no way near as busy as i expected.

[CHA!NGANG]

I went a few weeks ago to Thorpe Park so i have a few tips!

It won't be that busy trust me. People said it will be completely packed when I went, but I got on every ride (and I'm not even overstating, I actually wen't on pretty much all of them) except Nemesis, which had a huge que so I recommend if your going early, go on that first. Stealth has a big que, but it goes very fast because the ride is only 20 seconds, and i'm not even joking and I got on that twice.

Don't underestimate the main water ride, It will get you absolutly soaked so if you are prepared to walk around the rest of the day drenched then go on it,, if not then don't or bring spare clothes to change into. Also, don't wear jeans if you go on that ride.

Don't get too into saw, it is a let down really and isn't as good as people think, but nevertheless it's still decent. The fast track is about 3 pounds a ride I think, so yes, it's worth getting the fast track for the big 4 rides: Stealth, Saw, Nemisis and Colossus, but you have to stick to your times so it might be a problem if your going in a big group.

That's all the advice I can think off really, but enjoy it, its a great day out and yeah stealth is the best ride there but it's pretty scary and very fast at the beggining, so when you shoot off at first, be prepared to hold onto something tight and keep your head back, but the view at the top is amazing.

Oh, and there is a great donut shop in there so I recommend them too when you leave !

Have Fun and I hope that helped! If you have any other questions PM me!

Ty Ty +rep to all replies - Tomorrow given out too much in 24 hrs...

Anyway, so fast track is cheap then? How much do you recommend to take?

I hate water rides... I hate getting soaked but I might go on that first and then go on all the quick rides to get dry but meh.

I'm really excited about SAW so I hope its not a let down.

So stealth is quick.. ok noted I'll go on that later in the day.

I will get fast track hopefully, I asked my mate about fast track he said that theres no point as the queues are the same which I'm confused about

Anyway thanks for the tips and I will PM you if I have further questions

I don't know why but I'm always fine going on massive rides like Stealth, SAW etc but everytime I've been on X no way out I come off feeling ill..

Key point in bold...

It will be packed, as it's now summer, and that day is the main day for school trips. You went a few weeks ago, like I did, so it's no surprise that it wasn't packed when you went.

go on stealth or saw, amazinggg

If it wasn't summer a few weeks ago then it isnt summer now I guess.. Most people get off skl around a couple of weeks ago and if it wasnt packed then what makes you say it will be packed now?

When I went, all the GCSE kids had broke up, and all the A Level kids had broken up. Good point though, it will be more packed then when I went but if you get there nice and early it isn't a big problem. There were no ques whatsover when I got there in the morning to actually get into the park, which was at about 11ish so If you get there at 10/11 you should skip the entry ques.

Saw isn't a big let down, but it's not as good as the advertisements show, but it's still good itself.

Money wise, it depends. I brought £45 and spent it all, and I also had half price tickets to get in. It costs £35 to get in unless you have vouchers, and if you do it costs £17.50. It cost me £15 to get there, from London including the taxi to and from the station - the park, but if your going with your school it shouldn't cost you much going there and getting back depending on where you live. Also, I didn't buy fast track myself, but I have to say, it would be better for you if you did as it's worth it.

The water ride is something which looking back I wouldn't have done really as it's over quickly, and the only thrill is when you are going down into the water and after you regret it, but it was worth the experience I suppose as I don't go to thorpe park often lol. You do dry off quickly too, well after about 1 hour your dry so yeah.

Fast track ques are quicker, a lot quicker. For SAW, the normal que took 45 mins, the fast track took 5. Colossus was similar for both, mainly because the normal que was quiet short but if it is long, which it can be, fast track is useful. For Stealth fast track was good but it's not that useful as the normal que goes quite quickly and for nemisis its good, so you wanna get fast track for SAW, and Nemisis really, but you can get a package for all 4 big rides which is quite good.

How much is the whole package. I'm going with my school I've paid and everything all I need to think about is the total for fast track & food.
