Birthday treat 'disaster' at Thorpe Park as man ends up not being able to get on any rides

After he ended up not being able to get on a single ride during a birthday treat at Thorpe Park, a man has demanded the theme park give him a refund. As part of a birthday gift from his wife, Palli Singh, 36, was taken to the resort on July 14 but was left frustrated as every time he got close to getting on a ride it would suddenly break down.

Mr Singh, who lives in Wraysbury, spent £81 on an entry ticket and all-day parking, arriving at 9.30am ahead of the park opening at 10am. After making their way through the entrance, they experienced their first disappointment of the day as they were told in the Nemesis Inferno queue the ride had broken down and were not told when it would resume, reports Surrey Live.

Undeterred he moved on to the Detonator and the Walking Dead ride but the same problem happened yet again while waiting to get on. After the pair purchased fast track tickets for £16 their ride broke down once more and Mr Singh had decided he had enough by 2pm.
