Yes - queue times on this page come directly from Thorpe Park's own ride system, the same data shown on the park's official app and in-park signs. They refresh every few minutes. Parks occasionally over-estimate queues by 5-15% to manage expectations, so actual walk times are sometimes shorter than posted.
