Cheap Thorpe Park Tickets

Thorpe Park is a theme park located in Chertsey, Surrey, UK. The park was built on the location of a gravel pit which was flooded to create a water themed theme park. Thorpe Park opened its first ride in 2002, and was aptly named, Colossus.

Thorpe Park was purchased by the same company who owned Madame Tussauds in 2007 and has since increased its popularity, to such an extent, that it now rivals Alton Towers as the leading theme park in UK.

Some of the major attractions at Thorpe Park include:

  • Nemesis Inferno – Europe’s first inverted roller coaster with interlocking corkscrews
  • Colossus – The world’s first ten-inversion roller coaster
  • SAW: The Ride – The world’s first horror movie themed roller coaster and the world’s steepest freefall drop roller coaster
  • Stealth – A launched roller coaster which accelerates to 80 mph in less than 2 seconds.
  • X:\ No Way Out – The world’s first and only backwards in the dark roller coaster.
  • Loggers Leap – The tallest log flume in the UK from 1989–1993 and from 2005–present

Each year, Thorpe Park attracts close to two million visitors, making it the third most visited theme park in the United Kingdom, after Alton Towers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach. For the full history of Thorpe Park, visit the Thorpe Park page on Wikipedia.
