Thorpe Park

                 Thorpe Park

    Cherlyn's, Surrey
With more than 30 rides and attractions, Thorpe Park's latest installment is SAW – The Ride, the world's first horror movie-themed roller coaster. Adrenalin junkies will also enjoy Stealth, one of Europe's fastest coasters, which propels you from 0-80mph in under two seconds; Colossus, the world's first 10-looping roller coaster; and Nemesis Inferno, the ride with a G-force of 4.5. Younger children will like the 4D movie experience, the beach area, complete with sand and large paddling pool, and their "first roller-coaster experience" on Flying Fish – although be warned that Thorpe Park doesn't offer much more to tiny tots.

For 20 per cent off gate prices, book in advance on line at www.thorpe park.com where costs are £28 for adults; £18 for under-12s; and £82 for a family of four.
