What is Thorpe Park?

Describing themselves on their website as the "UK's most thrilling theme park", Thorpe Park is the home to a number of record-breaking rides.

The Swarm, the only winged coaster in Britain, boasts speeds of 62mph and a force of 4.5G to knock you back into your seat.

Another ride, Nemesis Inferno, will spin, dive and swoop riders at hefty speeds of 50mph thanks to its inverted vertical loop track.

If that isn't enough to get you excited, Thorpe Park has two new projects launching in 2024.

The UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster and a brand-new American-themed land will soon call Thorpe Park its home.

However, the theme park doesn't just offer thrill rides. Families can kick back and relax at the park's Amity Beach or put on 3D glasses at the movie theatre for the Angry Birds 4D adventure.
