✨ Top Tips ▼

Make your Thorpe Park visit unforgettable with these insider tips:

🎢 Ride order strategy: Hit Hyperia (the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster) first – queues can exceed 90 minutes by midday. Then do Stealth, The Swarm, and Saw – The Ride before lunch.
📱 Download the official app: Real-time queue tracking, interactive map, mobile food ordering, and virtual queuing for selected attractions (free).
🍔 Best dining spots: The Dome offers pizza, pasta, and burgers. For healthier options, try Amity Beach Cafe. Pack a picnic to save money – designated picnic area near the Lost City.
⏩ Single Rider Queues: Available on Stealth, The Swarm, and Colossus – can cut waiting time by up to 70%.
🎃 Fright Nights: Book at least 1 month in advance for October – mazes sell out fast. Arrive early for scare mazes before dark for shorter queues.
👟 What to bring: Waterproof poncho (some rides get you soaked), comfortable walking shoes, power bank for your phone, and suncream on sunny days.
🏨 Stay overnight: Thorpe Shark Cabins and Thorpe Lodge offer early ride access (30 minutes before general public).

🎁 Money-saving tip: Buy your tickets + parking + Fastrack as a bundle online at least 14 days ahead – saves up to 35% compared to on-the-day prices. Also check for Tesco Clubcard or Merlin discount codes.
