    Need a get away from all the chaos & noise, then there's a hidden garden with a couple of benches, beautiful landscape & a pond. Found behind Stealth, just to the left of the entrance of the queueline

    Bring lots of water. No water fountains in the park so you’ll end up paying £2 a bottle if you don’t bring your own.

    I did thoroughly enjoy my two days at Thorpe park the staff are so incredible friendly, the prices are quite good as well. The only downfall is the wait for the rides, far too long.

    I'd definitely recommend it. Honestly i have to say that if you're really looking for enjoyment then fast-track tickets are important!! thought definitely worth it. Great experience!

    Check the weather before going as rain WILL ruin your day. Not many signs inside the resort, so expect go get lost. Calculate your trip carefully as the restaurants get packed up quickly.

    I can't say that I enjoyed this placed. They have a nice rides that is cool but you have to wait the queue for each one or to spend more for fast track and anyway waste some time in other queues

    If you never been on a roller coaster, go for flying fish (not too extreme) then you can go for the rest. I've never been on a coaster and I passed out on the Swarm

    Thursdays and Tuesdays are the best days to come. Less people. Come early and queue for the big rides before the queues build up..

    Had an amazing time! Thankfully no rides were broken and got on all the main ones! Also you should try out the frozen coke machine!

    If you can, stay in the Thorpe Shark hotel! You get an hour of fast track passes included so you can skip all the queues!

    Get there early and go on saw first as it's far from the entrance and there's no queue at that time. Colossus is next door so you'll get two rides done quickly!

    There's everywhere WiFi, a lot of really fun attractions. The queue can be really long and that's a minus. If you have money you could buy a more expensive ticket where you don't have to queue!

    Great day out. Fast passes are a must have! Go to the Swarm in the morning as it's less busy then!

    Leave The Swarm to last as its new and u will find yourself queueing for more than 2 hrs so definitely do Stealth and Saw first as they are 3x times better!!! Unless u get fast track!

    Get here early but be prepared to go queue. Go for the ultimate ticket to allow you to queue jump if you can...well worth it. Hand driers in the toilets don't work though staff know about the issues w

    September is the quietest • leave coasters to later in the day • eat little & often • visit restaurants at off-peak times • enter long queues with drinks • arrange meeting point • wear comfy shoes

    Merlin Annual Passes save time & money and top up once in the park for Fast track on the bigger rides - on busy days straff walk around with fast track tickets

    Best time of the year to go if you can catch a sunny day!! Unbelievably short queues and you can even get away with a couple of the wet rides :D Tesco is doing a 2 for 1 on tickets too

    Get there by 9:30am, ride the big rides first (Saw, Collossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth, and The Swarm) and then leave early; queues are at their worst around 4-5pm!

    Set on an island, focus is on coasters and rides rather than entertainers and theming.

    Arrive before opening, and then ride the big rides first (eg Saw) as queues will build up during the day. Food is mostly fast food including Burger King, KFC, and Pizza Hut.

    The park is not big but there are a couple of nice rides for adrenaline seekers, not many places to eat though

    Fast track for the swarm, it's only five pounds and you save yourself an hour and a half in queuing time, well worth it!

    2010, free parking. 2011, £2. 2012, £4!? Also like how the standard ticket price has doubled so the 2for1 deal is a trick. Spendspendspend!

    Ladies, bring a change of clothes and some pound coins for the lockers. You WILL get soaked through on some of the water rides but they are totally awesome! Read more

    Love this park. Until you get someone behind you in a queue who thinks they're above the no smoking rules. Seriously people, it's not nice for the rest of us.

    Park is not equipped for huge crowds so don't waste your money by going at weekends or in school holidays.

    Go early to avoid really massive queues. Stealth and Saw are by far the most extreme. Colossus is good, but overrated in my opinion.

    Bring comfortable shoes, lunch from home, go straight to Stealth and then to Swarm.
