Thorpe Park visit

Visited Thorpe Park today under shadows of Heathrow Airport in picturesque Surrey and enjoyed it. It's not as expansive or with as many rides as other theme parks but has more than its fair share or thrill and big rides.

The new ride is saw, very similar externally, to Speed at Oakwood but with some indoor dips and tricks too. One top if you go - do it first as there's no Fattrack available for it as queues were 3 hour long during the day - not worth it for a ride that lasts less than 90 seconds. Fortunately, we had to wait only 40 minutes.

Other rides were great - Stealth with its 0-80mph in 2.3 seconds followed by an outrageous vertical hairpin on the outside of the structure, Rush - an air compressed super fast swing, Collosss with its 10 loop the loops and the wettest water chutes and log flumes on those shores amongst many others.

Ot even had its own man made beach, pool and slides - didn't swim but enjoyed the rest there.
