Adventure Island, though a compact theme park, it somehow manages to fit over 30 rides into a small area. Great for all ages particularly from 5 to 15. Kids from 1 upwards will enjoy the rides. There are even rides for adults and teenages. Rage is newest and biggest coaster in the park. Not as big as those find in places like Alton Towers or Euro disney, its still pretty good.

Great points about the park, you can buy an wristband (discounrs available online or vouchers in many places) and you get to use all the rides all day. Longest queue was 10 minutes (this during summer school holidays). We managed 40 rides in the day making it great value. As mentioned the park is compact, you can walk from one side to the other in 10 minutes. Plus there is LOTS more to do in southend including the beach, sealife centre (kids free voucher included with wristband purchase), shopping, arcades and who cannot resist fish and chips when visiting the sea side.

Main bad points are getting there can get VERY busy as you have to drive through southend and finding parking can be a pain, expect to pay up 10 pounds for a days parking. My advise get there early (before 10am) and enjoy the beach until the park opens.
