Merlin Annual Pass/Fright Nights Query

daveoc22

Hope someone can help with my query---I've written twice to Merlin but have had no response.


Do you get included admission to Fright Nights at Thorpe Park with either the premium or standard pass?.


I've looked at the Merlin site and the only thing I can find is the exclusions under standard pass where it says:


''THORPE PARK
An event booking fee will apply to Fright Nights and other special events at THORPE PARK regardless of the time of entry or departure''.


What is an 'event booking fee''---is it another name for normal price admission price of £29.99?.


As to the premium pass I cannot see any specific mention of Fright Nights.


Thanks

I seem to remember reading that on Fright Nights some years ago the park was full to capacity and annual passholders who tried to get in were unsuccessful. THorpe park then introduced online advance booking to secure entry on Fright Nights for passholders. We had standard passes and had to pay £5 per person online in advance for the tickets. I think the premium passholders were free but again had to booked online in advance.

Hi I have a premium annual pass and entry to fright night is free, you should book in advance to ensure entry. If you have a standard annual pass there is a £5.00 fee. HTH.

Thanks for reply.


Strangely I had a response yesterday to my query that I sent to Merlin 3-4 weeks ago. Their answer is that they cannot tell me how much, if anything, I will have to pay and I should keep looking at the Thorpe Park site for information.


What an odd reply. If Merlin themselves cannot tell me how much it will or will not cost then I give up.


Thanks all.
