Go during the off-season months. The least busy months are April, May and September. These months have reduced wait times as they are when the park has just opened/closed, schools have gone back, and there are no special events on. Avoid going to the park in peak summer months as almost every day tends to be busy, leading to queues of sometimes up to 2 hours per ride. Visit the park during the week if possible. The best days to go are Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, as on these days the queues are up to four times shorter since most people are in school or at work.

Take the Thorpe Park Bus, which is faster than the local bus but more expensive (£3. 70 for a return). Take the local bus, which is a bit slower, but the tickets are cheaper (£2. 40 return). Walk, but keep in mind that the park is 4. 8 km (3 miles) away, so it could take up to an hour to get there.
