| Attractions |
Thorpe Park bills itself as the nation's premier thrill park. As such the park is generally filled with a large percentage of teenagers. Stealth (Intamin launch) is considered the park's signature coaster. Nemesis Inferno is a wonderful B&M invert, but gets a bad rap from people comparing it to Nemesis at Alton Towers. Saw: The Ride is one of the best themed Eurofighters. Other major thrill rides include Colossus (10 inversion coaster), Rush (an older S&S Swing), Detonator (Drop Tower) and Slammer (the only remaining S&S Fly Swatter). The "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" maze and Derren Brown's Ghost Train add some unique experiences to the park.
For water ride enthusiasts the rides run the gamut from acceptable levels of wetness (Rumba Rapids and Logger's Leap) to possible wetness (Storm Surge) to very wet (Tidal Wave). |
