Good Points Thorpe Park is excellent very easy to find your way around, very clean and great food. Bad Points Sounds really silly but can't honestly think of any bad points my husband and I absolutely love the place. General Comments My husband and I went to Alton Towers yesterday for the first time, it was a complete and utter dissapointment. Travelled for 4 hours to get there and really couldn't see any value for money whatsoever. Queued for an hour and three quarters to ride Air only to be turned away because it broke down. The photo's for Oblivion wasn't working so the photo pass we bought was refunded. Hardly anywhere to eat undercover. 2 hour queue for Nemisis which is nowhere as good as Nemesis at Thorpe Park, need I go on. Thorpe Park is fantastic rides are better and cleaner than Alton Towers. Give me Thorpe Park anyday. read more

Probably rated second after Alton's towers as theme parks goit caters those who want the scariest of rides. First tip in peak season get there early as there can be long queues and you'll want to make the most of your time there. Secondly adult tickets are normally £32 so find a 2 for 1 voucher or for a slight discount buy online (at least 48hrs in advance). The major rides have estimates for how long it will take to get to the front of the queue and there are electronic signs around the park with queue waiting times so make the most of these and plan. read more

This is a good theme park, but all the queues are very long. It is worth getting there early and going on the busy ones first. You can buy fast passes for some of the rides, but these work out quite expensive. There are alot of fast rides, and I would definately say if you don't like fast rides dont bother going. The restaurants around are quite good. We went into pizza hut and have to admit it was very good value. It was a set price for food and drink and was a buffet so you could eat as much as you like. read more

This is such a pointless ride that i felt embarrased for even going on it. The queues outside are generally long and when you finally enter the doors you feel quite relieved. After walking through long corridors in the dark you unfortunantly end up at the back of another queue in complete darkness. Eventually you will reach the front and sit excitedly at the front, it will be at this point when you realise the train goes backwards. When it was moving it is dark and for some reason you feel more secure than in any other ride, you just keep going backwards. Then it stops and the ride blows air in your face to give some kind of different experience, dont exactly know what for, and eventually the train will go back again and come to an end. Utter waste of time, just go on tea cup twisters, much more exciting read more

Thorpe Park is a theme park situated in Chertsey that offers rides and entertainment for thrill seekers, young children and the more timid adventurer alike. There are a number of well known rides including Colossus, Samurai and Vortex, and several rides for those who are not a fan of the traditional intensity of rollercoasters, such as the more subdued Flying Fish. The restaurants and arcade games also provide variety and a break from the rides, and are all good quality and very entertaining. read more

This was the best theme park i have ever been too. it was full of thrilling rides and i propa enjoyed my day there i strongly recomend this to other people, it is suitable for all ages, it is very children friendly. Best rides: vortex, colossus, nemesis, tidal wave and stealth read more

great day out to be had here, loads of great rides so you'l be sure to find something for everyone to enjoy! Im yet to try stealth as it looks a bit much for me but defo worth the long que if you seek adrenaline!! small area of rides suitable for younger children 2-6yrs roughly and also neptunes beach if you fancy building sandcastles or taking a paddle! plenty of places to eat - fish and chips, pizza hut, burger king etc read more

X:/ No Way Out was the world's first in the dark, backwards roller coaster, and has been a fixture at Thorpe Park for a good few years now. The ride is set in a Pyramid shaped building which is pretty dimly lit inside. If you don't mind being completely in the dark and traveling backwards then you'll enjoy this ride. However it's not for the faint hearted through and you'll be wondering which direction you are in most of the way around the ride! I'd advise not to go in straight after you've had lunch as when our friend did that, they felt a little sick after the ride! read more

I have stayed at Haven Thorpe Park many a times. We have always enjoyed it, it is a fairly small park so not to big to walk around, there is entertainment, outside play area with crazy golf, bouncy castle, and little rides (all extras to pay for) there is also a wooden equipped park which my children loved. Inside their is amusements, pub around the site is fish and chip shop, laundrette, shops around the site. Cleethorpes is around 1-2miles away but if its a nice day and you fancy it you can walk into cleethorpes as there is a path direct along the seafront which is lovely on a nice day. I was happy with the accomodation every time i went and will return at some point in the future to go again. read more

Thorpe park has great white knuckle rides for the person who likes the bigger thrills,for the person with a stronger stomach. It also has some great eating places, not so many good childrens rides. read more

OK I'm a bit of a thrill junkie and for me this is my Mecca. With rides like Colossus, Stealth and Rush you really do get the heart pumping for a white knuckle ride. I've been here a few times with family and friends and it seems to just keep getting better. The only issue is that during the school holiday periods it can get very busy and it is not uncommon to have to queue for more than an hour to get onto the more popular rides. The best way around this is to spend a little more on your entrance tickets to get fast track tickets which will allow you to by pass the queues and give you more time for the other rides. read more

Thorpe Park is an excellent day out. It has improved over the years and I like their Halloween freight nights, they make a real effort there! I was really scared in one of them. There is a lot to do there even if you don't like rides. Lots of restaurants or places to eat. Only problem is at height of season there WILL be queues. Be careful because they do have height restrictions too. A fun day all round and prepared to get wet. read more

We went to the 'Thorpe blast' last weekend, unfortunatly it rained really hard and Stealth wasn't running.however I've been on it before and whilst it was something I wanted to do, I was so scared on it that I didn't want to do it again, however people I was with have been known to go on the ride, queue up again, ride, queue etc! They are building a new ride for 2009SAWthis looks like another good ride. The best ride at the park in my opinion is Nemesis :) read more

As a local we have family passes for Thorpe Park which ahve the advantage of offering the opportunity to pop in and out and if the queues are too long - can go home and return another day! All in all Thorpe Park have got a good set-up and I feel it is safe for my sone (aged 13) to go there with friends and without adult supervision. The rides are all real thrillseekers now and there is less for little ones, but in the summer the 'beach' are is lovely and makes a good place to meet for a picnic. Like all these type of venues however, I always find the food outlets expensive so take your own lunch - or at the very least a bottle of water to keep you going in the queues! read more

This site may well have the best rides for frill seekers, but I do think its got a real teenage feel to it, and when I went with little un's and big un's, there was little they all wanted to do. I went in the hieght of summer and faced the inevitable crowds, although a downpour cleared much of the park :) as you walk in you go through an indoor area which ahs a bar, restaurant, gift shops etc etc and beyond this you find a outdoor pool, with manmade beach. When I went the weather wasnt quite good enough for it, but I can imagine on a really hot day, sitting there chilling whilst toddlers splash and do sand castles etc etc The rides are really good, and the park is nicely condensed so walking is much less of an issue than say Alton Towers where by the end of the day you are frankly - shattered POarking is free - and near by so this is good too. My best ride is the water rapids which of course is always a great ride for families read more

On my last trip to Thorpe park we went on the samurai and when thy were letting everyone off they somehow managed to miss up and we went on the ride twice in a row - not to be recommended as it leaves you feeling a bit sick!!!! All these theme parks can be a bit expensive but I normally plan ahead and try to take advantage of any 2 for for 1 offers. I prefer to get there early and avoid going on school holidays and weekends, though I appreciate that if you are taking children this might be rather difficult! My favourite rides are all the water rides! read more

By far the best theme Park in the south of England, friendly staff and plenty of choice of rides! Been an annual pass holder for 2 years running and can see it becoming a third!!! Need of a ride like Air though :) read more

Thorpe Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Chertsey, SRY

I'm very disappointed in thrope park I visited thrope park for fright night this year, me and my family had seen a good deal which was posted on their official site it had stated £125.00 for overnight stay two days entry to the park with an hour fast track tickets early next morning and a experience never too forget which was met to be a kidnap experience, also characters will be in the park to chase and scare. I dare say we were rob of our money we NEVER experienced the kidnap we were told apon arrival it could happen any time after dark but when I spoke with another worker they said they is no such thing and told me I had read that somewhere else when it wasn't just me who saw it as they were others staying in the hotel asking the same question.. It was false advertising and that should not be allowed I will not be recommending anyone to go to thrope park as I'm very upset about spending so much money on this as I never got my money's worth. read more

Do search the Internet before you go and see if you can get yourself a 2 for 1 ticket because you can save yourself a small fortune. The park has changed a lot from when I last went 10 years ago in that it's target audience appears to be solely older kids, teenagers and adults. Not much here for younger families like there used to be. Gone is the 6ft tall rabbit and other characters that used to welcome guests. Loads of great roller coasters and vomit comets. Just wish there was more sedate rides to go to recover on between roller coasters! I would advise anyone not to go on the ride called 'No Way Out'. It has to be the worst roller coaster I have ever had the misfortune to go on. You sit in the dark and it stops start while you go very short distances backwards. The only thing this achieves is travel sickness, not thrilling in the slightest. As mentioned by previous reviews the park does seem to be full of chavs trying to queue jump but fortunately don't ruin the day - if you are able to ignore the constant swearing that is. All in all, a much better day than I was expecting. read more

Thorpe Park is one of the best parks outside of the USA. They have 5 roller coasters and a good drop tower. Angry birds land is the children area in Thorpe Park and is home to 23 rides. My personal favorite roller coaster is Stealth. Swarm and Saw are also great rides. The ten inversions on Colossus are unbeatable. Stealth has a 4.8 G-Force acceleration and is 82 mph. It is an amazing feeling when you shoot up the top of Stealth's 205 foot tower and then you plummet straight down at a 90 Degree angle drop. Thorpe Park has a Hotel/resort inside the park that you can stay at. The drop tower is called Detonator Bombs Away. It was shocking because I thought it was just a drop tower but it actually shoots you down rather than dropping you. It is 125 feet and 59 mph. Great overall park that you should go to. read more

This is a fantastic place for kids, however in my opinion children above the age of 11 will like this alot, younger children are really not catered for bearing in mind the price you are paying which is expensive. So for adults and teens its FANTASTIC but for younger kids be aware they may not like it as much as the only rides they will go on is the water ride ones (and get DAMN wet as well!!). In my opinion Chessington World of Adventures is better suited for younger kids.However, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Such a great place. Easy to get to with the well organised shuttle bus from Staines and despite going on Good Friday, we managed to do 4 of the big 5 rides in 2 hours. Friendly staff. Only thing I'd suggest is having a healthy food option. read more

Great Theme Park. However some of the staff are rude and the restaurants like KFC are far too expensive and recommend one of there own restaurants. I ate at Fins Bar and Grill. Was delicious but took 1 hour for our meal to come. read more

Thorpe Park is the self proclaimed thrill seeker's theme park. With a fantastic selection of superb rides and well laid out themed attractions through the park it can be the perfect venue for a group outing to celebrate a friend's birthday or perhaps some life achievement like passing a driving test. This place plays heavily on the mainstream, as you might expect from an establishment of this nature, playing loud and predictable pop music and bombarding you with slightly unnerving images of people with computer enhanced smiles and oversized heads as you queue to pay for your tickets. Once within the park things ease off a little with cafes dotted about the place and pleasant rest areas between the adrenalin pumping rides. There is also a host of fairground style games that you are expected to pay for, this to me seems a little on the cheeky side considering you have already paid for admission but I suppose there are prizes to be won. However on a recent trip to Thorpe Park I saw a side to it that I had always been partially aware of but not truly registered until it pounced upon me. They have recently implemented some excessively in-depth security checks at Thorpe Park that show the true colours of the management of this place in a way so vulgar it causes me to wince as I recall it. The checks in question are more stringent than the last time I passed through the security of an international airport and take place without any form of prior warning after you have paid for your days admission. Sadly for the group with whom I was attending that day it was these underhand and draconian measures that deprived us of one of our friends for the day. To cut a long story short as an effect of their blundering and over zealous antics she was forced to spend the whole day in a police station for which the staff could not give us the number only to be released without charge. The moral of the story, if you do fancy a great day out at Thorpe Park take only money and keep giving it to them as this ensures a good time can be had by all. read more

Thorpe Park was built in 1979 with the intention of creating a water based theme for the park. In 2009, the park had 1.87 million visitors, making it the second most visited theme park in the United Kingdom, after Alton Towers. It was sold to The Tussauds Group in 1998 and was heavierly marketed towards the teenage and young adult market with a series of exciting new rides. These include the new Saw ride and Saw Alive, live action theatre experience based on the scary Saw film series. This was my first time at Thorpe Park and even though I am no longer a teenager, I felt a burst of excitement at entering the park and hearing the laughs and excited screams of the people enjoying themselves. Though thrilled by the scary rides in my youth, I decided to stay clear of them and stuck to fun, if a little wet, Water Rides. I played some Air Hockey and rode a Banana Boat. All in all it was a great afternoon and choosing to go out of the summer holidays meant I didn't have to queue for anything. And that is a bonus worth screaming about! http://www.itsnosmallthing.weebly.com read more

This is quite a good day out, although I don't think it's as good as Alton Towers. For some reason, it just seems to lack the excited atmosphere that other theme parks have. However, it does have a good selection of rides - lots of really big ones; whilst there are a few gentler rides, I wouldn't recommend taking young children. The ride not to be missed is Stealth - don't let the queues put you off: it's the best ride in the park and gives you a real thrill. I think it claims to be the fastest rollercoaster in Europe. Food places are alright here - a bit predictable and almost all fast food. Like all theme parks, there are inevitably going to be queues but I'd advise going off peak if possible to avoid the worst crowds. read more

Thorpe park is a very good place to visit if you are looking for extreme thrills with a intense high speed ride blasting you uop into the air at 80mph and a 10 loop roller coaster thorpe park really is the ultimate theme park. read more

Fantastic theme park with plenty of thrilling rollercoasters, including Colussus that loops the loop 8 times. The other rides include Nemesis inferno, X:/ No Way Out (a backwards rollercoaster in the dark) and Stealth. The park is best for adults as the majority of rides are for people over 1.4m tall, although there are some kids rides too. There are plenty of places to eat out, including a Pizza Hut buffet that is very good value for money. A good day out for everyone. read more

Love coming here with my friends love coming back here every time they could use some more rides however everything there is fun

Visited Thorpe Park on it's supposed fright night and what a waste. From arrival at the free for all uncontrolled car park which borders dangerous to the ques for bags search while the pre pubescent staff all stand around chatting or on their phones to this outdated shabby park. Upon entry you'll find none of the Park is really decorated for Halloween or fright night. The park has poor directional signage and a poor layout and is so dated and quite unclean. The mazes ignoring the expected ques were tiny but the 'Actors' were cheap labour pre pubescent teens that tried to compensate scares for stamping the floor jumping out and touching your leg- the experience bordered pathetic. Save your money- an experience at a wacky warehouse would be more entertaining, supervised and cleaner. read more

Less than an hour from London this is the nearest place to the capital for some serious rollercoaster action. The park is aimed at 16-25 year olds but can be enjoyed by those of us a little older. It is to be avoided during school holidays or the first two weeks in July these are school weeks so the place is overrun by kids which makes queuing and even being there a complete nightmare. There are lots of good rides special mention to nemesis inferno and rush. Head there early and spend a day reliving your youth and getting a very different adrenaline buzz read more

Although Thorpe Park may be seemed as one of the greatest Theme Parks in London but i for one dont totally agree. Although theres a load of fast,high rides. Theres not alot of variation between rides, which cna be quite sickly as 2 of my friends were sick there in the same day. Although i can go on every rollercoaster after another, they dont have many childrens rides which doesnt make it a family outing if you have young children in your family. read more

This Place Is Really Top Notch! Updated Rides, Such As, Collous, Nemises, Tidal Wave, Loggers Leap! Everytime I Have Visited Here, It's Rained. Which Has Made The Rides Faster and Scarier. Thorpe Park Do Take Percausions and Risk's During Bad Weather. But Because The Tracks Are Slippery The Rides Goes Faster and Is More Thrilling and Exciting. Lot's of places to eat. Including, Pizza Hut Buffet, Burger King. read more

I love going here there are lots of great rides such as nemesis, stealth and colossus. Depending on when you go the queues can be very long. There are plenty of games to win prizes and places to eat. There are plenty of opportunities to by photographs of you on rides or around the park. The park is closed at certain times of the year. You can buy an annual pass which costs £64 and students can save 10%. read more

X No Way Out was the first backwards indoor rollercoaster built. For people that don't realise it goes backwards it's pretty shocking. It is situated inside a blue and burgundy pyramid within Thorpe Park. It is very dark inside and you will encounter flashing strobe effect lights. Carriages seat 2 people and you must a minimum of 1.4m tall to go on this ride. read more

Fantastic place for families with older children or very young ones . There are often groups of teenagers walking around but it's all good humour. It's best to go out of season as the queues can get very long during the summer holidays.There is a lovely sandy beach area that very young children can use and close by are the baby rides. The big rides are really only suitable for 12 years plus as there are height restrictions. Food is reasonably priced but is worth taking a packed lunch to eat as you wait for rides. There are always discount tickets about so there is no need to pay full price. Check the newspapers, cereal boxes and internet for discounts Take your waterproof for some of the rides. Have fun. read more

This is one great theme park. We went on a Halloween themed day, we didn't go in the maze as we were too scared, people were coming out in tears because they were so frightened it was based on the film The Grudge. We loved Nemesis it took our breath away. The only down side was the length of the queues but we got there in the end. read more

Its a great day out for the whole family and the rides are amazing. Like me, I was really afraid to go on any of these rides the first time I came here but once I had been on them all I couldn't wait to get back on them. Although the rides only last about 2 minutes each its worth it and I am sure you will enjoy it. Cant wait to go there again. (Unfortunately Corkscrew is going so hopefully they will put an even better rollercoaster in its place)). read more

I've only visited Thorpe Park once, and must admit I found it rather disappointing. I like the feeling on the park being on an island; crossing the bridge over was fun, but the fact of the matter is that the restricted space makes it feel very small and we must have covered the entire park in less than two hours in the morning. Some of the rides are excellent, especially the water ones, but I couldn't see much in the way of entertaining kids should a family decide to come. The only solace is that we didn't pay full price entry to get in, because at least we got some value for money considering we only stayed for 4 hours at the most. read more

I have been there once, and I did not quite particularly enjoy it, as I was with my group of friends, and covered most of the areas in less than a hour and half, and it is bit disappointing, and never came back to there again read more
