Thorpe Park | | Departure from LVS time to be brought forward – coach appeared to get lost on the way!
Departure from Thorpe Park time of 2.45 worked very well. We arrived on-site at 3.50 pm
Lunches: Would advise handing these out before arriving at Thorpe Park as it is not safe to do so in the coach park. Also, the large trays can be returned – we came back on a different coach so have no idea what happened to the trays and unclaimed lunches. 17 lunches went unclaimed as students would not take them.
Ride queue time ran to an hour for the popular rides and the park wasn’t particularly busy.
Changes for next year:-
1. Leave earlier to arrive at 10 am at the latest: the new Thorpe Park coach park protocols are time-consuming.
2. Give out the tickets on the coach as everyone must show their tickets to the Thorpe Park steward s they disembark the coach. A green / red placard is provided and must be displayed in the window of the coach before anyone can disembark.
3. Full bag checks are being carried out as standard.
4. Meeting point: Suggest the Dome. We used the picnic seating area near Stealth and were bombarded by Country and Western music all day!
5. Suggest using the fast track – although this will add to the cost.
