From Digging Holes to Fun Rides!

Did you know Thorpe Park used to be a big hole in the ground? Long ago, people dug out gravel there. Then, someone had a brilliant idea to fill part of it with water! In 1979, they built Thorpe Park on this watery spot. It started as a place with water fun, but it grew and grew into the amazing theme park it is today. It's like turning a muddy hole into a sparkling treasure chest of fun!

Super Speedy and Super Tall!

Thorpe Park has a rollercoaster called Hyperia that's like a superhero of speed! It's the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the whole United Kingdom. It's taller than a 20-story building and goes faster than a car on the motorway!

Imagine being that high up and going that fast โ€“ wow! This amazing ride also has a special twisty bit that makes you feel like you're flying. It's a truly breathtaking experience for thrill-seekers.

Rides for Everyone!

Whether you love to spin, drop, or get wet, Thorpe Park has a ride for you! There's Tidal Wave, where you're guaranteed to get splashed, and Ghost Train, which is a spooky adventure in the dark. For rollercoaster fans, there are many to choose from, like Stealth, which shoots you up really fast, or The Swarm, where your feet dangle!
