    Advantages Advantages An exciting, if rather tacky experience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The potential financial ruin you're risking

    Allow me to sketch a rather selective portrait of myself: a colour-by-numbers where the artist has only got the red paint to hand. I am a gent in my thirties. Some might say 'his late thirties'. I am a middle-bordering-on-senior manager who wears a shirt, tie and (sometimes) cufflinks to work. I rather like museums and I quite enjoy art galleries. And despite my wittering on 80s/90s indie rock on here, I believe that Beethoven's Op 133 Great Fugue is the greatest piece of music I've ever heard. Let's compare that to Thorpe Park, a theme park with an image as a chav-staffed and chav-patronised ... more

    Advantages Advantages Wide range of rides

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the map! The queues! Easy to get there but only by car - and then you pay extra for carparking

    Location Thorpe Park is located in Chertsey, Surrey near Staines. It is the second most popular park in the UK, Alton Tower is the most visited. You can reach there either by car or train but the best way to get there really depends on where you are heading out from. The park is located west of M25, where you can turn of junction 11 and follow the brown signs: postcode KT16 8PN. Car parking is £2.00. If by train, get the South West trains from Waterloo to Staines and bus 950 (every half hour) to the park. The buses are a bit of an annoyance though as you need to keep checking the timetable and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great rollercoasters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poorly managed

    Introduction ---------------- I love theme parks and have been to quite a few, not just in the UK but around the world! I'd heard good things about Thorpe Park so decided to visit it last year. Thorpe Park is now owned by the Tussauds Group. The Tussauds group also own Alton Towers, Madame Tussauds, Chessington World of Adventures and Warwick Castle amongst others. If you visit one you are usually given vouchers to get money off entry to all / some of the others. Where is it and how do I get there? ----------------------------------------​------ Thorpe Park is in Surrey, about 20 miles from ... more

    Advantages Advantages Some great rollercoasters and rides

    Disadvantages Disadvantages rides breaking down and overpriced

    When I was younger (god even writing that makes me feel old!) I loved roller coasters, the bigger and faster the better, while everyone else went green I was laughing and screaming! Then I grew up and had to be more sensible especially after having my boys, over the years we have been to all the usual places with them but for some reason we never visited Thorpe Park. Until my other half announced that his firm had decided to hold a family day for the entire workforce at this place. So never being one to look a gift horse in the mouth the boys and I jumped at the chance! HERE COMES THE HISTORY ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good Rides, Everything Close Together, Family Day Out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long Queues, No Shade, Expensive

    I have been to Thorpe Park on a number of occasions over the last few years. The university I went to was about a 15 minute drive away from the park, so it was one of the places we went to at least once a year. I’ve always had a good overall time there, though when I visited last weekend there were a few downsides to the park that somewhat let down our visit. Although some of these factors are things that are not necessarily in the park management’s control, I personally felt that there should be more measures in place to combat this type of thing. Anyway, let me explain. Last weekend, me and ... more
