Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Consider purchasing maze add-ons or a Fearsome Four package in advance to guarantee access to all scare mazes, as they are not included with general park entry.
- Arrive early or consider a short break package to maximize your time and experience both the rides and the scare attractions, especially during peak dates.
- Check the Thorpe Park app for real-time queue times for both rides and scare mazes to plan your visit efficiently.
- If you prefer to avoid intense scares, look into the 'No Scare Lanyards' available at Guest Services for scare zones, though they are not effective in mazes.
- Book your tickets and parking in advance online to save money and guarantee entry, as prices can increase closer to the event dates.
