Thorpe Park is a theme park located in Surrey ( see map ) and was opened in 1979.
Thorpe Park Resort
Thorpe Park is split up into eight distinctly themed areas.
Port Atlantis
Port Atlantis has a marine theme and is the area to find key places such essentials as guest services, shops, toilets, lockers etc.
Lost City
Lost City is the largest area in Thorpe Park and is based around a Mayan theme.
Colossus - a roller coaster with 10 inversions. When it first opened in 2002, it broke the world record for the roller coaster with the most inversions. The ride currently jointly holds this record along with an identical ride in China.
Samurai
Vortex - a 32-seater park-based model of the KMG Afterburner.
Quantum - a Fabbri Magic Carpet ride.
Zodiac
X:\ No Way Out - is the world’s first and only backwards in-the-dark roller coaster.
Calypso Quay
Nemesis Inferno - an inverted roller coaster, it is marketed as the ’sister’ ride of the original Nemesis at Alton Towers.
Detonator - a Fabbri drop tower in which riders are hoisted up 115 ft, with legs dangling, and launched down by pneumatics.
Time Voyagers - a 4D cinema with water and vibrating effects in the seats.
Rumba Rapids - a river rapids ride which was updated from Thunder River in 2002.
Storm in a Tea Cup - this ride was rethemed to look worn down and damaged to fit with nearby Amity Cove’s Tidal Wave theming.
Canada Creek
Themed around a Canadian creek, this area is home to:
Loggers Leap - a log flume, featuring two drops (one indoors/underground). The larger of the two drops contains a straight section (double drop) which adds airtime to the ride. Currently the tallest Log Flume in the UK.
Slammer
Rocky Express - a small, circular roundabout-type ride for younger visitors.
Canada Creek Railway - a miniature railway that runs through Canada Creek and around Loggers Leap, offering views of forest land and the lake the park is built inside.
Amity Cove
Tidal Wave - a ’shoot the chute’ style ride on which riders are carried in a 4-tonne reinforced hull to a height of 85 feet. The boat is then dropped down a track into the lagoon with an impact force of 1.5g forcing 3 tonnes of water into the air.
Stealth - one of Thorpe Park’s newest roller coasters. Stealth is an Accelerator Coaster that features a hydraulic 80 mph launch.
Flying Fish
Ranger County
Mr Monkey’s Banana Ride - a small swinging ship type ride, themed to a banana.
Chief Ranger’s Carousel
Miss Hippo’s Fungle Safari - cars travel around a short track through figurines and shrubbery.
Neptune’s Kingdom
Depth Charge - a 40ft tall four lane water slide, in which riders sit in dinghies.
Neptune’s Beach - two large paddling pools for small children with various fountains and an imitation sandy beach.
Wet Wet Wet - 3 water chutes differing in height.
Sea Snakes and Ladders - just 1.2m in height, ideal for young thrill seekers.
Octopus’ Garden
Located in the area between Port Atlantis, Amity Cove and X:\No Way Out. Octopus Garden is a small aquatic-themed area with several small rides for very young children. There are seven rides:
Swinging Seashells - a small Ferris wheel which contains seashell themed cars, each seating four children.
Fantasy Fish - a small carousel type ride which contains individual fish which the children can sit on top of (like carousel horses although they don’t move) and fish that two children can sit inside. The ride then rotates at a slow speed.
Galleon Race - a round ride with boat shaped cars. The ride rotates round, and as the ride rotates the boats move over small bumps.
Happy Halibuts - another round ride with suspended fish shaped cars which are free to swing. The ride rotates and lifts to an angle, with the cars being free to swing under centripetal force. This ride is the only ride in the area to have a minimum height restriction, which is 0.9m.
Ollie Octopus - a round ride with one continuous ring shaped car which the children sit in. The ride rotates slowly and lifts at an angle.
Up Periscope - a round ride with submarine shaped cars. The cars rise and the ride rotates.
Slippery Serpent - a small track based ride, with a small train which moves slowly around the track.
