With the established rides such as No Way Out, Depth Charge and my old favourite, Loggers Leap, still going strong, you feel the park can only go from strength to strength. And for an old hand who still has the place to thank for fond memories and many lasting friendships, it is very, very good to see. Thorpe Park is on Staines Road in Chertsey and is signposted from Junctions 11 and 13 of the M25. It is open until October 28, with restricted midweek opening in September and October. Children under one metre are admitted free.
Height restrictions apply on most major rides.
