Top Tips For Visiting Thorpe Park
- Take plastic waterproof sandwich bags for your electronics and whilst on water rides.
- Choose a meeting point to meet up at in case one of you gets lost – especially if you have little ones with you!
- Take spare clothes in case you get a bit too carried away riding Tidal Wave and change into flip flops when riding water rides – no need to worry about ruining your trainers!
- It’s great to know from the offset what rides you can and can’t ride. Head to Guest Services and get measured to avoid any potential let downs.
- Want to beat the queues? Head over to SAW and Nemesis Inferno first thing and work your way forwards. There are fewer queues at the back of the park at the start of the day and you’ll find yourself working against the crowds all day!
- Don’t let a rainy day stop your visit. You will get less crowds and less queuing time.
- Eat earlier or later rather than the lunchtime rush. Alternatively take a picnic.
- Buy your ticket online BEFORE your visit. No queues when you arrive, just walk straight up to the gate and scan your printed ticket!
- Arrive 15 mins before the gates open! Not only will you be one of the first in the park but for the first hour you’ll be able to take advantage of the shortest queues of the day.
- Take a picture of where you’ve parked. May help when you’re looking for your car later on.
- Pay for parking at the start of the day, so you don’t need to on your way out.
- Queue lines close at the advertised park closing time, not the park itself. Join the queue at the very last minute and sneak in one last ride!
Reviews
“Went for a family day out with my cousin and kids, aged 15, 9, 8 and 5 for the first time. Had a great day out and got to go on loads, really good for all age groups. Would recommend Swarm, Rush an tidal wave (although u get very wet). Can’t wait to go back next year when my son will be tall enough to go on everything.” Luke W
“I have been to Thorpe Park several times and have enjoyed every visit! very good rides and a good selection of restaurants despite the long queuing time everywhere, which is to be expected at theme parks so cannot exactly explain, getting there early is a tip, quite pricey however, food and merchandise but also to be expected, always very busy.” Joanna B
“As a family we have been many many times. As Merlin pass holders we could enter on our passes so can’t really comment on current prices, however I can fully comment on how great the park is. We had access to many themes parks and attractions but this was by far our favourite. The queue times were ok, the park is clean and well organised, the rides are great for all ages. The park is easily navigated and the iPhone app aids your day with maps and queue times. The lockers are a great tip, saves carrying bags round all day. The park is constantly updated unlike some other local parks that haven’t updated their rides since I was a kid! You will have a great day!” Andy G
