The park is famous for its white-knuckle rides: the Stealth launches riders 205ft in the air, going from 0 to 80mph in 2.3 seconds; Detonator winches riders 100ft into the air and then fires them back to earth at 75km an hour; Tidal Wave is an 85ft drop through water; Colossus is a rollercoaster which climbs to 100 feet then hurtles riders through ten loops; Nemesis Inferno is a suspended rollercoaster featuring a journey through the heart of an erupting volcano; Quantum is a stomach lurching vertical repeating ride; and The Swarm, Europe’s tallest wing coaster offering ‘a head- first, inverted drop from 127 ft’ (new for 2013: selected seats on 'The Swarm' face backwards).

Many of the rides here are designed for teens and older children, and have height restrictions. That said, parents with young (or short) children will find plenty to do at Octopus Garden (little, friendly rides) and the delightful Mr Monkey’s Banana Ride, with its slightly sinister commentary.

Teenagers, meanwhile, will love the horrifyingly fast Stealth (standstill to 80mph in two seconds, plus a hideous vertical drop), the gore of horror-themed white-knuckler Saw (and the ‘Saw Alive’ horror maze,with six ‘live action’ rooms, opened next door) and the spiralling water drop raft ride Storm Surge.

The staff at Thorpe Park are mostly young and extremely friendly, which makes for a pleasant atmosphere. New for 2013 is The Crash Pad, which gives visitors the chance to stay overnight at Thorpe Park.
