Me and the gf are visiting London and are looking into planning a few hours at Thorpe Park. What are the overall expectations this time of year?

Crowd sizes/wait times?
Are week days better than weekends?
Does colder weather affect anything?

I know Hyperia is the main attraction, but how are the other coasters/rides when it comes to operations?

Is it better going in the morning or the afternoon?

Any tips or suggestions would help! Thank you!!

Post Spring Break and pre MDW might be the best time to go!

Got through security around 7:45, rope dropped—but skipped Hagrid’s and went straight to VelociCoaster.

Morning:

- VelociCoaster x3 by 8:30!!

- Kong, Dudley (both walk-ons)

- Hulk - about 20min

- Doctor Doom, Spider-Man - 10 min each

Then hit Hagrid’s (posted 90 → actually waited 70!!), followed by Forbidden Journey and Seuss Trolley. Done with all that by 2pm!

Midday break:

Left around 2:30 and came back around 4:30

Evening:

- Hulk 2x

- Hippogriff

- VelociCoaster again!

Closed it out with Hagrid’s: Got in line at 7:30, ended up waiting about 50 min (they fly through the queue once the park closes)

Total:

- VelociCoaster: 4x

- Hulk: 3x

- Hagrid’s: 2x

- Plus Spider-Man, Forbidden Journey, Kong, Dudley, Seuss, Hippogriff

Post-Spring Break → pre-Memorial Day is the move if you can make it work!

Manageable crowds, rides operating at full capacity, and using EPA to your advantage is such a difference maker!!
