Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Matt.GC]

So, I'm off to Thorpe on Wednesday. Is DBGT likely to be open or is it still down? I'm still extremely emotional that I seem to be the only person in the world desperate to ride it but haven't yet!

Opened around midday yesterday, should be open but who knows with how unreliable it's been so far.

Just one ride on it is all I ask. It's over a 2 hour trip for me

Fingers crossed for you. It's been running fairly consistently as of late.

On Saturday once it opened, it didn't breakdown.

 

[Matt.GC]

Fingers crossed for tomorrow then!'

Said it would open at 11 today, then said 12. Now they're saying 1! This happened to us last time

This is why when I was a ride host we were told explicitly never to state a time to guests...

I have trained staff along the lines of that if you have a time given you from maintenance then it's ok to share that with guests, unless you are specifically told not to do so.

Quick question regarding Fright Nights, do you HAVE to book time slots in advance for the scare mazes or can you just join queues as and when you feel like it?

Just join the queue, mazes open at 3pm. During half term week the queues can reach 2hrs for the Mazes so be prepared, or buy fastrack - although that is often oversold so even those queues can be a killer.

Appreciate the info, cheers! I'm going down next Sunday so I guess it will be busy.

Nope. Not clicking.

just so you know, the article is about Saw the Ride at Thorpe Park getting stuck on the vertical lift, and riders being stuck for over an hour.

Perchance does it use the phrase "left dangling upside down"?

no, it doesn't; they don't seem to be as exaggerative on this article, probably because it's not Alton Towers or Smiler related!

 

[DiogoJ42]

Must be a fake article then.

If you don't want to click, let me hotlink to their aerial view of the park

The Daily Mail might not have this time but the Mirror's article about the incident does!
