Thorpe Park Review

Overall Rating

Thorpe Park's rides are great fun and are of a mixed variety.
Rides are generally quite reliable, which a few exceptions.
Park is clean and tidy.
Music and sounds effects on rides and areas are great.
Food is good quality and of a large variety.
I would reccomend the Bush BBQ in Canada Creek. Great Food, worth the money. Also if the weather is nice, it has an outdoor seating area that looks over Slammer.
Great Rollercoasters and World Record Breaking Rides for thrill seekers.
Staff are generally very friendly, again, with a few minor exceptions. Thorpe Park is, on the whole, a fantastic theme park and day out. Great rides, with a wide variety to suit all tastes, however most seeming more suited to thrill seekers. Since being taken over by Merlin Entertainments, I have noticed a substancial improvement in the overall service. The park is clean and tidy, and most of the staff are very pleasant.
Entrance tickets are overpriced (as with all theme parks in the UK), however there are hundreds of offers and dicounts floating around on the web and in newspapers. If you are planning to go to Thorpe Park, don't EVER pay the full "On The Day" fee. There are always ways around it. Some rides have poor reliablilty: Stealth, Slammer, Loggers Leap, to name a few.
Some staff can be found unpleasant.
Queues can reach 2 hours+ on peak days.
Fastrack Tickets are overpriced.
Fastrack tickets are generally over priced and not worth the money. Despite this, there is one ticket that i believe it worth the money: The Adrenaline Ticket: Allows No Queue Entry to Slammer, Samurai, Vortex, and Rush, for just £7. I would only reccomend this if the queues exceed 1 hour. Otherwise, simply not worth the money.
Overall, a fantastic day out, with many record breaking attractions that simply cannot be missed.
Unmissable Rides: Stealth, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Samurai, Vortex, Slammer, Rush, Tidal Wave, Detonator.
Top Tip: Do not queue over 1 hour+ for ANY ride EXCEPT Stealth (if a first time rider). Stealth is an absolutely breath-taking experience and cannot be missed. However, if queues for this ride exceed 2 hours+, it is advised to purchase a Stealth One-Ride Fastrack Ticket, for just £4.
8/10. A Must Do.
