Thrill seekers of all ages should brace themselves for a non-stop outdoor adrenaline rush this summer at THORPE PARK, the Nation’s Thrill Capital, as Sun SCREAM returns to the Park. Full to the brim with some of Europe’s most exhilarating rollercoasters and epic water rides – not to mention adrenaline-fuelled stunt displays and ‘pop up' summer activities – fearless families and groups of mates won’t need to go anywhere else for full throttle fun.

From THORPE PARK’s iconic rollercoasters*– such as the UK’s first winged rollercoaster THE SWARM, which riders can now experience backwards – to rides for younger theme park fans** including the newly re-designed junior coaster, X, there is something to excite the whole family, and with five super-soaking water rides, kicking off with the larger-than-life Tidal Wave, there will be thrills and spills all summer long.

After all this action, thrill seeking mates and adrenaline-loving families will need a place to crash. With chilled out entertainment, a comfy bed and breakfast all included, The Crash Pad, is the perfect way for guests to go from dream to scream in less than 60 seconds.
