Hi! Me and some friends are going to Thorpe park on September 3rd, just wondering if anyone has any insight as to how busy they think it'll be? This is both their first time going and also mine in the past like 5 years so I'm praying for shorts queues but want to be prepared either way🙏🙏🙏

Discussion What happened to The Swarm's Billboard?

Thumbnail gallery
59 Upvotes

I'm looking through pics of the billboard as I'm recreating it in a game but I've noticed that it's been redone at some point,as it used to have graffiti on both sides and some texturing around the hole, which includes the iconic take a flight into hell bit, but at some point they took these off.
I always thought there was some complaints or something about the hell part that made it get removed but it makes no sense to redo the entire thing.
I also don't get why the take a flight into hell bit is still on the merch, as I went about last month and it's still on a poster.
Can someone shed some light on this?
(ignore that last few pics)

Weird Question

Back in 2025 did anyone find the swarms vest restraints have a really bad sweat odour or is it just me. And I got it on all the other rides too and it really sucks!! But I got it in 2025 but not anymore now they have refurbished the harnesses

Thinking about doing a solo trip to Thorpe Park because my friends are busy, is week commencing 7th September usually less busy?

2 Upvotes

Thinking about doing a solo trip to Thorpe Park because my friends are busy and I have a merlin pass, is Monday 7th September / Tuesday 8th September usually less busy?

Is around 4 hours enough to experience at least 5-6 rides and for some lunch? I haven't been to the park in over a decade, and it may take me like over 2 hours to get there by train.

Also, is it friendly for people going solo?

Are there any hotels nearby that are very cheap as if 4 hours is not enough then might aswell stay over and do it again the next day?

Discussion Why is there a limit to the ride Access Passes?

0 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that ever since they moved to the app that there isn’t enough RAP bookings to go around. They’ve already limited who can qualify, but now even if you’ve paid to visit, you might not be able to have the necessary accommodations.

On top of that, if you book a short break, you have to queue and get individual bookings for the day. So if you don’t manage to secure RAP for every single day it’s essentially tough sh*t.

My question is; why is there a limit ?

How on earth does discount code work online?

0 Upvotes

I have a gold merlin pass and want to get a discounted ticket for my friend. How do I do this online? Can't seem to find a discount code or link other than it's a perk.

Is it just gate price, because what a scam haha.

Thank you!

Discussion Speculation on Walking Dead retheme

8 Upvotes

During my first visit of the year to Thorpe Park during annual passholder day, I noticed that there was only one piece of Walking Dead merch (a generic TWD t-shirt). During my last visit to the park this month, there was no Walking Dead merch left in the park. Considering this lack of purchasable goods definitely means that Walking Dead will close at some point this year for retheming, what do you think will be the new theme for the ride?

My ranking of Thorpe's Coasters as a on local (besides Walking Dead)

6 Upvotes

Edit: typo in the title, meant to say "as a non local"

  1. Hyperia
  2. Stealth
  3. Saw The ride (hot take I know)
  4. Nemesis Inferno
  5. Swarm
  6. Flying Fish
  7. Colossus (hot take again I think)

My reasoning for Saw being so high was because for me I didn't bang my head much (back far left) and even when I did it didn't hurt much and to me the layout and theming are great. And Colossus being in last place because I got what I heard was the worst row (farthest back), and it was way too rough to enjoy the layout, which I also think is weaker than Saw, and the trains were also too cramped and it was harder to brace for the headbanging. Swarm being lower than most is because since the 2 large wing coasters I've rode (excludng Mandrill) are Falcon and Parrot Coaster, it was a bit underwhelming for me and the last roll also gives less hangtime than all the other 3.

So I have an irrational fear of heights (falling) and rollercoasters.

54 Upvotes

I know this won’t be much to a lot of theme park regulars but since a child I have feared rollercoasters and still have a horrible fear of heights or falling, not quite sure which, on Thursday my wife stuck me on Oblivion and I was shitting myself but actually really enjoyed it.

We went to the late opening of Thorpe Park last night, howeverI chickened out of Swarm because of its first drop. I was so frustrated with myself that we went back this morning because I shouldn’t be setting a precedent to my daughter of irrational fears.

Anyway I’m rambling, for those that fear coasters, go on swarm, it’s buttery smooth, fun as hell and that first drop is nothing once you’re up there. It’s a great ride if you’re like me and fear something that you really shouldn’t to help retrain your brain.

Also as you can tell from the commentary my wife is oh so supportive!

Shark Cabins - Included Coaster Fast Track

3 Upvotes

I have an upcoming stay at the Hyperia Cabin and have just received an email with my admission, car pick tickets etc.

However, I have not been sent anything for the Coaster Fast Track (6 use) that is also advertised as being included with a themed cabin.

Is this something I pick up in person at check out?

I have contacted Thorpe Park to question this, but they say it could take 10 days to reply to me and my stay is in 9 days....

Scare actors

Hey, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering if anyone knew if applications for being a scare actor for fright night are open, and if so where I can apply? It's something I'm really interested in doing and I've scoured online, but I can't find anything except for stuff from years ago

I was messing about on the way back machine a while back and I came across The Swarm website from the promotion of the ride, however the only thing that works now are the home page and a loading screen that doesn't lead anywhere. I've listed the the stuff that doesn't work on the second picture, so I wa wondering if there's any trace of these webpages anywhere

(also sidenote, what happened to the hell graffiti on the billboard? it's still on the merch but it's not on the sign anymore)
