Thorpe Park Does it Again!

Thorpe Park has been under alot of scutiny for its “Say no to BO Campaign” preventing riders from putting their arms up on rides. Now, Thorpe Park strikes again by modifying its Queue Estimation Time system.

From ThemeParkReview.com member: Koolkid.

The park has often recieved complaints about how poorly designed the queue times posted on the boards are, as a result, recently the park changed their policiy from instead putting an estimated time, to instead marking the line as either a 1 (0-30 minute wait), 2 (30-60 minute wai) or 3 (60+ minute wait).

Unforutnately, I don’t think that this will fix the problem the slightest bit. While I do think Thorpe Park is great with its ride selection, I just feel that some of their new polocies are well….horrible. This is really bad, adn it is unforunate that the park opted out for this instead of correcting the problem.

What do you think of Thorpe Park’s latest move? Like it? Don’t like it?

I really think they should follow what SFGAM does. They say 45 minutes or less. Or 1 hour or less, or 15 minutes or less…etc…I feel that this will not be too accurate. And people will get mad if they wait more then what shows up on the sign.

yea like jeremie said what if you just get in like and it says like a 1 then something happens then they can only run 1 train then they have to switch the one off then switch the track back, and that alone takes like 10 minutes (depending on the ride) and then it slows the line down so its even worse.
