Latest Updates
15/02/09: New for 2009 at Thorpe Park will be Saw The Ride. Situated in Canada Creek the ride is a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter. Sadly departing in 2009 is Miss Hippos Fungal Safari which has operated in the park since the early 90s.
27/09/08: Site updated with Construction photo's of the 2009 Coaster.
13/07/08: Sign's have appeared around Merlin's attraction apologizing that the reason their attraction cost so much more than similar attractions in the EU is because of the UK's high rate of VAT that is set at 17.5%, while some EU countries only pay 5%. However, following a bit of research to see if the tax difference made the prices equal, all indications I have found indicate that Germany (where a lot of the best parks are) pay 19% for VAT and still have parks that are £8 cheaper to the guest! It is also not clear why these signs have appeared especially when you consider that VAT has been set at 17.5% for over 20 years.
Tickets From Just £8
It may be cold and occasionally snowing, but thats no reason not to get down to Thorpe Park and have a great day on the rides. If you still need more of a reason though, you can get your tickets from Buy A Gift where Thorpe Park tickets start at just �8.
