Thorpe Park stands for excitement,
adrenaline and exhilaration, known as one of the best theme parks in Europe it certainly offers a
lot of fun filled excitement. A notable feature of Thorpe Park is that the rides are categorised as
Extreme, Thrilling and Fun and Young Thrill Seekers.
Stealth which is perhaps the most extreme of the Extreme Rides is Europe's fastest
rollercoaster which accelerates from 0 to 80 mph in less than two seconds and rises to a staggering
height of 205 feet. The rollercoaster drama continues at the Colossus which is ranked among the Top
10 Looping rollercoaster's in the world. Experience the hair raising turns and death defying twists
that are taken at over 45 mph. The Colossus is a heart stopping ride that has an amazing ten
vertical loops and is the UK's only rollercoaster that goes through a quadruple corkscrew!
Prepare for blast off at the Detonator, this thrill filled ride reaches a gut wrenching
5.5G's into its vertical height of 100 feet. Other great extreme rides include the Nemesis Inferno,
Quantum, Rush, Samurai, Slammer, Tidal Wave, Vortex and No Way Out.
For younger visitors and for those looking for family oriented rides try the Flying Fish or
the Time Voyagers which is Thorpe Park's brand new 4-D movie ride. You can even indulge in some
aquatic fun at the Depth Charge which is a 40 foot plunge into the lagoon below. When it comes to
fun and excitement Thorpe Park is truly in a class of its own as evidenced by the large number and
