1 / 2Thorpe Park
📍 Chertsey, South East
Home to six headline coasters including Hyperia and Stealth, plus water rides Tidal Wave and Storm Surge. Designed for thrill-seeking older children and teenagers. Full day required; crowds can be heavy on weekends and school holidays.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with teenagers and older children who meet height requirements and want an intense thrill experience. A single-rider queue significantly reduces wait times on key rides. Weekday visits and advance ticket booking are the strongest ways to get more rides in. Young or timid children will find most flagship attractions off-limits.

“The attraction was amazing. We went for fright night and the actors where so nice. Creature campus looked after my niece for me when I went on a ride with my boys because she wasnt feeling up to it and sung happy birthday to her which made her feel so happy to be there. I really recommend coming its a great day out with the family and definitely come for fright night. The food was amazing 100% recommend food. Staff was great. Actors amazing. Survival games scare maze breathe takingly amazing although sometimes you do get split up from the group. We went on a Thursday so it wasn't as busy and the ride queues weren't really long. The actors remembered my niece all through the night and everytime we saw them they would say hello. Also Connie and rattlesnack and all the Frank's are so wonderful and nice. My niece's name is bethany.”

“Had a mint day, went on a Friday and Saturday and must have gone on 20+ rides each day. Thoroughly enjoyable. Hyperia was shut on the Friday but got on 3 times on the Saturday. It's great. The single rider queue saves lost of time as well.”

“Thorpe Park is built for thrill seekers. Adult tickets bought in advance start at around thirty-three pounds, but if you pay on the day the price can jump to about sixty-six, so planning ahead makes a real difference. The park is always busy, especially on weekends and school holidays, and while the atmosphere is energetic and lively, the crowds also mean queues can stretch for a long time on the most popular rides!! The rides themselves are the main draw and they don’t disappoint. Hyperia, the new record-breaking coaster, is a breathtaking mix of speed and airtime, while Stealth launches you from zero to motorway speeds in under two seconds. The Swarm twists and dives with enough inversions to leave you grinning or disoriented, and Colossus still holds its charm with ten back-to-back loops, even if it’s a little rougher than newer designs. Water rides like Tidal Wave break things up nicely and are especially refreshing in summer, though almost every major attraction demands patience in the queues. Food inside the park is a mixed experience: there’s plenty of choice, from pizza and wraps to fish and chips, but prices are predictably high, with meals ranging from seven to twenty pounds and more premium sit-down options at the hotel restaurant going higher still. Quality varies but is usually decent, and bringing a few snacks or a refillable water bottle can save money. By the time you leave, tired and likely a little lighter in the wallet, the buzz of the rides and the sheer adrenaline rush usually make the day feel worth it — it’s an experience that delivers thrills in abundance, even if it comes at a price. Far too scary for me .”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
Thorpe Park packs in six major coasters — Hyperia, Stealth, Nemesis Inferno, Saw, The Swarm, and Colossus — alongside water rides and seasonal events like Fright Night. On-site parking, cafes, and pram-friendly paths are available, and single-rider queues cut wait times on some attractions. Rides have strict height requirements so younger children may be excluded from many headline attractions.
