Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Bowser]

Ridiculous how slowly that Hyperia queue moves tbh even with minimal FT users. Done it twice yesterday and went home to watch the football.

Such a shame they didn't spend a few more ££ on something with a higher capacity. Short term it can push FT sales but long term it can put people off returning.

When was the last time a Merlin park in the UK built a high capacity ride? Something that can regularly exceed 1000pph?

Must be at least 10 years and even then the likely candidates probably don’t achieve it anymore…

Wicker Man gets 1,000pph pretty regularly on 3 trains, I’d argue. If they’re running flat out, it can do a solid 1,080pph or so.

I’d argue that they also actively chose to enhance the capacity with that one, opting for 3 trains rather than 2 like most GCIs have as well as removing the seatbelts that most GCIs have.
