Re: Thorpe Park
Agreed, I was there today too...
We queued Swarm when it had a 75 minute queue at the entrance, but it actually took (no word of a lie here) a total of 110 minutes instead, partly due to the fact that there were so many people buying Fastrack for Swarm and the queue was moving at an incredibly slow pace. NEVER again will I be willing to queue that long for a ride at Thorpe Park.
The funny thing is, whilst we were in Swarm's shop, I overheard a staff member say to someone at the till that it was dead last weekend bank holiday and Swarm had a very small queue of just 15 minutes all day! They also said it's the last week of the summer holidays, so everyone was heading to a theme park today, partly due to the nice weather. But Thorpe wasn't the only one that suffered...
Chessington was also packed today too. One of my friends said they queued 2 hours for Vampire at 11AM... ???
If it's this busy on a Friday, I dread to think what it'll be like tomorrow or Sunday!
(Also, they were playing chart music around the Entrance, Dome, Quantum, Vortex, Zodiac, Rush, Beach and even the Flying Fish today in case anyone was wondering).
