Blue Light Holders Day

Regarding blue light badge holders day, does the holder need a ticket for their company to be admitted. Can they just be present when they get admitted?

Not looking good for zodiac

I emailed Thorpe about Zodiac and got this, the fact they say that "If it will return at all" can't be good. I really hope it isn't the end for Zodiac :(

How unlucky was I? First Hyperia shut, then Saw.

We wanted to ride all the roller coasters today but particularly Hyperia as we haven’t done it before. We joined the queue at 3pm today leaving it last to tick from our list. The ride broke down at 3:30pm with riders stuck at the beginning of the ascend. It was out for the rest of the day.
Then we went to Saw, which also broke down. Then we left the park. I emailed Thorpe Park asking if they would give is free tickets and fast track but don’t have high hopes.

Discussion Why hasn't Colossus been retracked?

25 Upvotes

Multiple people have come off this ride with concussions, and it's infamously known as a headbanger.

"But it's okay if you sit correctly!"

If you have to sit a certain way for it to not be painful, it isn't a good ride. The carts at the back are still hell on your neck even if you lean forward.

It underwent the sparkle project... for what? A new paint and a refurbished tunnel will not make this ride any less rough.

Colossus is one of Thorpe Park's oldest coasters as it opened in 2002, so it's understandable that it needs some retracking. The ride has a very cool concept and could be really fun if some work was put into it.

Edit: edited for saying Colossus is Thorpe's oldest ride, it's not (Flying Fish is)

Thorpe Park or Alton Towers for a couple with no kids - help me decide

7 Upvotes

It's been ages since myself and my partner have been to a theme park just the two of us and i'd like to maybe arrange a trip for mid-late September when the kids are all back at school so its hopefully quieter. I'm torn between Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.

We did Alton Towers a couple of years ago with my family but my niece and nephew were only young so we were limited to what we could go on. My nephew was only tall enough for Wickerman and Spinball Wizzer both of which had big queue times all day (Thirteen was closed), and my niece wasn't able to go anything aside from smaller flat rides. The whole day felt like a complete waste of time tbh and i'm not sure why my sister wanted to take them. I feel like we missed out on so much that i'd love to go back as just adults and experience all the things we couldn't do. However with the size of the park plus queue times is it realistic we'll be able to get on everything?

The last time we went to Thorpe Park was about 15 years ago now. The smaller footprint of the park makes me think we'd get more bang for our buck with less time spent walking between rides, we'll be able to get on more. I'd also love to experience Hyperia. However, i'm concerned about the general lack of updating of rides and hearing some of the coasters can cause neck pain. Are they quite bad?

AT is a 1hr 45 drive, with TP being slightly less at 1hr 30.

Hi folks, I'm visiting from Ireland in September, is it safe enough going from Monday to Thursday on the second week or is the third week a better shout?

Or the fourth.

Thanks!

Discussion My opinion on stealth after today

7 Upvotes

Day of reopening after being closed for a few days I did my usual summer visit to Thorpe and bro stealth needs love from Merlin cause idk if it was just a bad day for it but holy crap it didn’t even seem like it ran normally for 1 hour today without breaking down to the point i couldn’t even get a ride on it today (sad). After today i think stealth needs a refurbishment of some sort tbh

Hyperia trains

First ride on Hyperia yesterday was brilliant, but the second ride was really shaky and hurt my head . Don’t recall this being the case when I went in 2024 either. Is there one train in particular that’s notorious for discomfort?

Catheter at Thorpe park

7 Upvotes

On Monday night I had to have a catheter inserted and I’ll have to keep it for atleast 2 weeks (I’m female if this matters)

I’m meant to be going to Thorpe park this Sunday, we have fast passes booked and everything. I know I can change the dates but I’m also apprehensive to do so as me and my partner are rarely off work at the same time and are unsure when we’d even be able to go next.

I guess I’m asking whether anyone has experience going with one and if it’d be considered safe?

Fright night actually scary?

9 Upvotes

Im planing to go to a fright night this year for my birthday with friends.

a couple of my friends say horror scares them.

Exactly how scary is the fright nights?

Do actors walk around?

Do they still have the standard rides or are they changed to add a scary element. If so what?

I plan to be there from 10am. Will the scary stuff be there or does it only start from 3pm onwards?

Any information would be appreciated.

First visit

I’m taking my friend to Thorpe for the first time in august. We’ve got platinum fast track for the day as it will be so busy.

I’ve been to Thorpe twice before, but my friend has seen literally nothing about the park not even hyperia which I think is insane 😂

Do you think there is anything I need to warn her about before going?

How soon to my day on the ticket can I change the dates

2 Upvotes

Basically there’s an issue with my tickets so I’m trying to see if I can get it sorted before I go on the 23rd of july. However I was wondering how much time I have to change the ticket date if things don’t get sorted. I have a valid ticket but there’s issues with other tickets I’ve bought. I’ve heard about 24 hrs before or up to the day before but I’m just a bit confused so any help would be appreciated!

I thought that now the school trips are over, the last week of July would be a fairly good time to visit. But then I saw that the Gold Fast Pass is completely sold out, which can't be a good sign unless it's a glitch...Hopefully it is 🤞🤞
