I would strongly reconmend you go to Chessington instead of Thorpe Park.My Dad used to never take me to theme parks (but now he is addicted ) as my Nans friend did.I always used to end up at Thorpe Park which I enjoyed a lot! Who wouldn't with Colossus there!Then when my Dad offered to take me, He did not like Thorpe Park's rides to say the least! So I tried Chessington.He loved them!And it was not until I starting really appreciating theme parks (especially Chessington) that I relised how much fun Chessington can be!Sure, you do not have rides like Colossus and SAW: The Ride, but you have the entertainments, Zoo areas and SEALIFE Centre, Rides and Attractions.Chessington has less rides, but compared to Thorpe. Really even when Dragon's Fury is on 60 mins. This is nothing compared to Colossus being 120 mins plus!I appreciate Chessington alot more now and I always look forward to my visits; Whether it has been a week, 2 weeks or a month. It is still a great day out.(Usually a father son day out for me where we don't argue! )Please keep your booty inside the boaty!
