Last weekend, we embarked on a family adventure to Thorpe Park, to celebrate Jacks 14th Birthday. With a mix of adrenaline-pumping roller coasters and fun-filled attractions, we were in for a day filled with laughter, screams, and unforgettable memories.
Dave and Jack, the thrill-seekers, wasted no time diving headfirst into the heart-pounding rides that Thorpe Park is famous for. From the stomach-churning loops of Colessus, the speed of Stealth to the twisting turns of The Swarm, they braved the biggest and boldest attractions, their faces a mix of exhilaration and pure joy.
Meanwhile, Alice and I opted for a more laid-back approach, choosing to explore the park's collection of smaller rides that promised just as much fun and excitement. From the spinning teacups of Dobble to the speedy twists and turns of the Flying Fish, we found ourselves laughing and cheering as we experienced each ride's unique thrills. I must add, I also felt a little nauseous on these 'tamer' rides.
One of the highlights of the weekend for Jack was experiencing the park's newest addition, Hyperia. After a wait of 90 mins him and Dave finally got to see what all the 'hype' was about and they report, it didn't disapoint.
The water rides were also much fun but be warned, if you want to go on Tidal Wave, you will need spare clothes so you may want to leave it till last.
The park had a vast array of eating options, and the weather was beautiful, with many families opting to take picnics to enjoy in one of the many picnic areas, or even on the manmade beach The park's vibrant atmosphere, lively music, and friendly staff added to the overall experience, making our visit truly unforgettable.
As we came to the end of the first day, we retreated to our accommodation in the Shark cabins. Cosy and bijoi they were the perfect place to spend some time after a busy day.
Though we may have experienced the park in different ways – some seeking thrills, others enjoying the smaller rides – we all came together to create lasting memories that we will cherish for years to come.
Thorpe Park proved to be the perfect destination for a day of fun, laughter, and adventure. Whether you're a daredevil seeking high-speed thrills or a more laid-back rider looking for a bit of excitement, this amusement park truly offers something for everyone. We can't wait to return for another round of fun and thrills!
Until next time, Thorpe Park. You've won our hearts, and we'll be back for more unforgettable memories soon.
