Thorpe Park Next Week - Term Times?

[Smithy]

Looking into getting down to Thorpe to ride Saw (hopefully) next Wednesday or Thursday. However, I've heard mixed things about term times. Up here, the schools don't break up until next Friday.

Can anybody around Thorpe tell me if that's the same for them? Or will it be half term, and thus packed?

Also, wasn't sure whether or not to put this in Trip Planning, but I'm not planning, just a general question

Well im not breaking up till the end of the week and I think its similar for most other London Uni's

 

[Smithy]

Yeah I break up from Uni on Friday. And was hoping that I'd have a week to get down to Thorpe whilst it isn't packed. But obviously we operate on a different term dates to the secondary schools and primary schools. Do we have anybody on the board in the Thorpe area? I can't begin to think where to look to get the term dates?

Id also avoid Thorpe next weekend at all costs as I happen to know that aload of schools are going there on a trip.

Thorpe and thousands of school kids= Fail of a day.

Cheers Ben. It was late and I didn't think of it being that simple. I assumed I'd have had to go to the schools websites and find out like that, and I'd be clueless as to where to start.

And Spicy, do you mean next week, or weekend? As I was looking at Wednesday.

As far as I know weekend, as thats when my brothers going with his school.

Dont blame me if other schools go during the week though

That's not too bad then As long as Saw is up and running by then...

I reckon I might pop there with a friend on Monday or Tuesday, so it had better not be busy...
