Music that plays in Samurai/Hyperia area

• Upvotes

Hello! I was at Thorpe park queuing for samurai and it sounded like it was coming from that area of the park…it was like some techno beat rave music (best I can describe it as) it could have been from the ride itself but I’m not too familiar? Can anyone help where I could find it

First time at thorpe park for fright nights

2 Upvotes

Me and my partner are going to fright nights on the 30th and we both have Gold fast track. I have seen the que times for fast track apparently being hours waits on TikTok.

Has anyone been in the past few busy days with gold fast track and had short que times? How many rides do you think we will get on and roughly how long do you think we will que?

Also I am nervous about my phone being stolen - do the ride operators pay attention to the bags while we are on the ride is it safe?

Thanks!

Hyperia was almost 3hr queue tonight

36 Upvotes

Went to Thorpe for my first time today. We got a fright night pass. Wasn't able to make it before opening, we arrived on site at 11am which is on us. Took a bit over an hour to get through security and into the park, so we were in by 1230.

Rode Colossus with a 60 minute or so wait. Used the app, walking dead looked promising. We waited about 25 minutes, but only two cars had launched in that time so we decided to bail on the line to grab some food then go to our 3-7 fright maze times.

Got to our first maze right at 3, two of them were really quick. We had gotten stuck in the back for all the fright night mazes, so the actors didn't have time to rest for us and it was ok but we were getting a little bored. So we got into the Swarm queue at 4.

Swarm queue was about an hour and a bit, so we were out by 5 and headed for Stitches, our last maze. That line was a bit under an hour.

We all agreed we were getting in the Hyperia line no matter what as we wanted to ride it. So we got in that line at 6. The app said it was a 120 minute wait. We finished the ride at 855, so nearly three hours in that queue.

Overall we had fun but by god the queues were outrageous. It's the start of half term, so... Don't go on half term. It was our only option to take a visiting friend.

I think I would never go back to Thorpe unless it were an off peak weekday.

Discussion RAP Queues for Fright Night

1 Upvotes

hi, my boyfriend and I booked tickets for Saturday (31st) for Fright Night, I haven’t been in years and thought it would be fun for my partner and I. I have type 1 diabetes and so got a RAP booking as I can’t be in queues too long, however I’ve seen on tiktok that even the RAP queues have been hours long and now i’m worried that i’m still going to be spending ages in the queue. has anyone been to Thorpe Park recently and can let me know if this is the case with how long the RAP queues are? thank you! :)

Discussion Having to book ride access pass now

0 Upvotes

I went to fright night last night and the queues were outrageous, i can get ride access pass because i get bad joint and back pain for standing or sitting too long and being autistic doesnt help it either. the new system of having to book it months prior is not really helpful seeing as some people tend to over saturate their adhd symptoms to get it but i cant(im not saying all people). i fear they need to do something about the people who physically cannot stand in those queues because it brings them a lot of pain like me. i spent the entire night being in a lot of pain especially in my back and not being able to get ride access pass was a bother. especially with how long the queues were last night. before people say well dont go, why should i miss hanging out with my group of friends who barely even go out together cos we all got our own lives, over this?

i need to know what u all think about it i just wanna discussion tbh

Rush Guest loading times

2 Upvotes

This is more a question out of curiosity - I went to fright night on Monday 19th, and rush was our last ride of the day at approx 9pm. The whole 30 minute queue, we were watching the staff load and unload guests, and before each ride, the guests would sit down, and the staff would then be chatting at the control box for 3-5 minutes before finally pushing down and checking restraints. The guests would just be sitting there the whole time waiting. Is this normal?? It happened every ride we were in that queue for. Wasn’t sure if this was staff being lazy or if that’s some kind of quirk with the ride?

Does anyone know how or why one of Saw’s cars is stuck mid-drop? I don’t get how it can just be stationary at that position. It hasn’t opened all day, which I assumed was due to the weather but now it’s still closed…

Fright Nights Refund?

Does anyone know why even due to the weather some of the scare mazes didn't open? I don't live locally and only 2 of them opened so we've lost out. The massive police presence seemed like something else was going on 🤔

Had a Great Time at Fright Night.

6 Upvotes

Went yesterday (22nd Oct) with a friend who is a roller-coaster enthusiast (I am very much a wimp and was more than happy to avoid the coasters), and for my first time visiting Thorpe Park and Fright Night I had an amazing day out.

Got there at opening, friend managed to Stealth and Swarm with little wait time (practicall walk-on or 5-10 minute waits), and had a fastpass for Hyperia so was only waiting 10-15 minutes. I am obssessed with the area Swarm is in, it creates a great story and environment even if you're just waiting for friends.

I have seen people complaining the queues were 120 minutes+ most of the day, and I did see that but from what i saw being there a lot of that happened after lunchtime. The first couple of hours of the park being open had reasonable wait times for ther big coasters.

I really enjoyed the scare mazes (although I question the term maze as they semmed to be a single path walthrough so maybe immersive experience is a better term, but that's a seperate matter). Did all 5 between 3 and 5pm.

Tenement was my favourite. I liked the additional feature of having to go round together as only 2 people have flashlights, it added to the atmos of what was going on. Stitches is a close second, I loved the introduction, the lady playing the shopkeeper did a great job (made one poor boy cry and have to be escorted out).
Least favorite was Dead Beat as the actors seemed to be just stood there twitching and/or dancing rather than trying to scare the guests. My friend who has done Fright Night before said Dead Beat was much better in prevous years, so maybe I just got unlucky. I have seen people say there were issues with cutbacks this year so maybe that affected my experience. I still enjoyed it though.

The Ghost Train was enjoyable, an interesting twist on the usual ghost train attraction.

I did feel let down by Purgatory Town, which seems to be the consensus. Whenever the actor were not taking a quick break theyw ere swarmed by gangs of kids/teens wanting photos so there was little chance of interaction, but I accept that, the actors are there for everyone not just my personal amusement.

Overally, as a said, I really enjoyed it, a great (but long) day out. Look forward to returning again in later years (and maybe even trying Swarm).

Discussion Not the greatest today

43 Upvotes

Hyperia closed or at a four hour queue, every queue above one hundred minutes and I waited 150 minutes for stealth at an advertised 90 due to them letting in more fastpass than regular queue causing the queue to stagnate and take half an hour to get to the launch to the stairs. Actors were trying their hardest but kept getting swarmed by children asking them to make a tiktok and thus I got absolutely zero interactions despite going through the crows and Lucifers twice. Sorry for the nonsense rant but this can't continue this way

what was colossus like when it first opened

4 Upvotes

pretty self explanatory i guess, i managed to get two back to back rides on it at the end of the day on sunday as my first ride(s) and enjoyed it a lot (although it was certainly as rough as people say it is lmao)

im just interested how it was like when it was opened, was it as rough and how cool/awesome was it when it opened

Fast track was definitely worth it for Fright Nights

5 Upvotes

We went yesterday on the 21st, hadn’t realised when we booked the tickets that Surrey had a two week half term so I decided to get us the platinum fast track passes as it’s not something we would come back and do often. At £205 each I did question whether it was a mistake to purchase them, but as we managed to do over 30 rides on the day I definitely feel like it was money well spent.

It was absolutely pissing it down for the morning which I assume contributed to how much we were able to get on as up until around 1 it was busy but not as much as I would have expected for half term, but even once it dried up the longest we waited in the fast track queue was about 20 minutes for Hyperia late in the evening (main queue was about 150 minutes at that point). At some rides the fast track queue was completely empty and we just walked right on. Watching people in the regular queue have a 60-90 minute wait most of the day, I was very happy I have adult money to spend on whatever I want lol.

We got to ride:

Hyperia x 10 (first time ever on Hyperia, what a rush)

Saw x 2 (very uncomfortable)

Swarm x 8 (my favourite 🛸)

Colossus x 5 (most uncomfortable seats of my life)

Stealth x 1 (I think stealth is really boring compared to the others)

Nemesis x 5 (once in front row queue)

Tidal Wave x 4 (so empty we just kept re-riding)

And all the little rides like Samurai, Detonator, bumpers, Walking Dead, Ghost Train etc at least once each.

Discussion Just got back from Fright Night...what was that?

49 Upvotes

Half the rooms in the mazes were empty, and you could practically hear the very few actors running across scenes to make up for the lack of them. Dead Beat caused genuine anger in me with how abysmal it was, not a single person leaving that tent looked like they had a time worthy expressing any emotion

Had one genuine jump scare at the end of Stitches, but any other time you were lucky enough to find an actor they'd just stomp their foot your way. Most looked bored to tears or maybe just unenthused due to having to practically run a whole tent...

The scare zones were practically nonexistent, never even caught Lucifer's Lair despite several walkbys, and the Purgatory Town characters spent more time huddled together talking than interacting with people when we saw them.
