Thorpe Park

Thorpe Park is famous for its white-knuckle rides: Stealth launches riders 205ft into the air, going from 0 to 80mph in 2.3 seconds; Detonator winches riders 100ft up, 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; and Quantum is a stomach lurching vertical repeating ride. If you're thinking of going with the family, Thorpe Park is most suitable for older kids and teens.
