Thorpe Park enters its seventh year of Fright Nights, being recognised as Europe's top theme park scare event. The theme park features thriller rides such as Hyperia and Saw, 4 new fearsome scare mazes and two scare zones completely free of charge with incredible scare actors in full character roaming around the zones. Running for 11 long hours from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., bustling numbers of visitors rush to Thorpe Park all day long. However, the question still stands — is it really worth it?
The entry fee starts at £36, giving visitors access to the park from 10 a.m. They can enjoy the signature rides and attractions throughout the day before the official Fright Nights event begins at 3 p.m. At first glance, this seems like a fair deal with plenty of time to explore. However, many visitors have voiced frustration over long queue times, with waits reportedly stretching up to 140 minutes — taking a large chunk out of the day. On top of this, Fright Nights experiences such as the scare mazes come with additional costs (£8 per maze for online bookers and general entry), while food prices add further expense.
