Thorpe Park in March

[NeverWinter]

When would be a good time to go in March? I'd like to actually get to go on some of the rides rather than just enjoying their queuing systems!

Obviously term time finishes just at the end so I imagine it'll be very busy then, would the 25th be a good date?

I'd highly recommend the 27th.

Go one day when it is cold and raining, short queues and clean seats on the rides. Failing that as Magno says, the 27th it always a good bet.

Shock horror! It's Britain in February

I drove past the other day when it was looking rather grim, and there were quite a number of cars there. However, now it's half term it's probably none. Unfortunately I won't be passing it today. The queues aren't normally too bad at Thorpe Park anyway, but I don't think the weather really phases people.

 

[NeverWinter]

Yeah, the weather doesn't phase me. I'll look in to the 27th then, never been to Thorpe, I've always gone to Alton Towers.

If you get their early enough, towards the front of any queues when it opens, then you'll find you can normally get on to some of the more major rides a couple of times before an unreasonable wait develops.

Well it looks like the girlfriend can't get time off during that week so, 20th?

It would be the 27th or nothing for me. The 27th is definitely the best day in March to go. Tell the gf to sort it out.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

A weekday when there are no school holidays, otherwise just don't bother.

No way.

Looks like you'll have to leave it 'til March 27th next year. Unlucky, but at least you'll have something to look forward to for the rest of the year.

Looks like it.

 

[Rexton]

Out of interest what's so special about March 27th?

 

[Zogger]

You have obviously never experienced March 27th at Thorpe park. It's the day of all days. Nothing can rival it

 

[Jono8]

Got to be the 27th as has been mentioned.

 

[Ekim]

I went on the 27th last year. Top drawer it was. Highly recommended.

 

[goldie_dsg]

I pick one up most years, ussually around £100 and covers thorpe park, alton towers, chessington, and a few other bits.
ps,

[Basher]

Another vote for the 27th here. I went on the 26th the previous year. Wasn't the same.
