The new Swarm ride is really good, too.

I will second that but I did found it a little on the short side. Probably a good thing, the queues were insane as it was. Got on the front both times we went on it though

I think Nemesis Inferno was probably my favorite ride and it may be old but Colossus was really enjoyable too, the wait was tiny. Didn't get to go on Stealth as it spent most of the day out of action. Going for the man points and admitting I had a real dislike of Rush, forward no problem. Backwards

don't like that feeling at all.

Need to go there to get on that Swarm ride, it's a B&M coaster so it should be top rate.

Always find a 2-for-1 type offer if you go though, there's usually one on some cereal or in a paper or something.

Definetly worth a day out!.

Living in the South its preferable for me to Alton towers because of the distance. Saying that AT is also worth a day trip...a long day trip in my case

Haven't been for around 6 years but when I was there it was great!

Thorpe Park is awesome. Always worth taking a day off and going in the week through to avoid long queues on rides.

Yeh me and a mate have a week off in a couple of weeks so are thinking of going during term time...

I got 2-4-1 from currys.

Can I only get my tickets on the door with this voucher?

I went a month or two back, Saw in hail was epic - an extra dimension if you like!

Defi worth a visit.

It is great, go on Stealth, but make sure you do not reach for the seatbelt under the seat first while holding onto the overhead bars. I did that and the bar came down as my head was through the shoulder section of the bar... The member of staff looked at me and laughed. They had to put all the bars up again so I could do mine properly. My mate next to me was laughing so hard. I never felt so stupid before.

HAHAHAHA!

Instantly makes Thorpe Park the best!
