Thorpe Park

Staines, United Kingdom

Description

One of the UK’s theme parks for thrill seekers, with over 15 rides and attractions offering speeds, drops and loops as well as a calendar of events throughout the season.

The Rides
The park now contains the world's only 10 looping coaster, an impressive B&M compact inverted coaster and STEALTH!

Europe's fastest rollercoaster, Stealth, was designed as an icon ride - to show the uncoverted of the new Thorpe as much as anything.

New this year
Time Voyagers 4-D Show: Replaces Pirates 4-D

Whats next
Plans have now officially been sent to the council for a Gerstlaurer Eurofighter, however approval is still pending. It is planned for the coaster to be in Canada Creek. You can see the plans by visiting thorpe park mania online.

Atmosphere
At times Thorpe Park can appear somewhat souless and due to the cost of filling in the lake, the rides are squashed in reasonably close. There is little green space and there can be problems with maintenance.

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 single ride.
