About Thorpe Park

THORPE PARK IS PARTIALLY OPEN until 14th March. Reopens fully with SAW the ride on the 14th March.

One of the UK’s leading theme parks for thrill seekers, with over 15 thrill rides and rollercoasters alone, offering speeds, drops and loops as well as a calendar of exciting events, such as Fright Nights and Thrill Chill throughout the season, THORPE PARK is the place to be!

The Rides
The park currently contains the world's first 10 looping rollercoaster, Europes fastest accelerating launched rollercoaster, the legendary Nemesis Inferno (The sequel to the awe-inspiring Nemesis) and the new eurofighter, SAW: The Ride.
Don't forget the package of flat rides including Detonator, Vortex, Rush, Quantum and Slammer!

New in 2009
SAW The Ride will be the worlds first horror movie themed rollercoaster. It will feature a indoor section, 100ft beyond vertical drop and 3 inversions. The ride opens March 14th 2009.

Atmosphere
THORPE PARK is full of midway games, themed rides and music and manages to create the perfect balance of all three to make the park a fun and buzzing place to be!

Q Jump Passes
On top of your standard ticket price, you can pay extra to jump straight to the front of the queue lines by purchasing a Fastrack ticket. The idea is to save time and get more out of your day. In peak season you can buy online with a standard ticket or on the day at various locations around the park. FROM £9 for a package deal.

Events in 2009
Ultimate Thrill Chill - Selected rides including Colossus and Nemesis Inferno open during February half term (14-22 Feb) and weekends in February & March.

SAW: The Ride public opening - March 14th 2009

FRIGHT NIGHTS - Experience four spine-chilling scare mazes and rides until 10pm from 12th October to 1st November.

THORPE BLAST - An amazing fireworks display and rides in the dark to round off the 2009 season! 6-8 November 2009, book tickets now to avoid dissapointment! -- Last edited by merit worth
