Thorpe Park- To go or not to Go
-----------------------------------------
With a complete chilling out mood I went to Thorpe Park a week ago.This is located at Staines and easily reachable from Waterloo station and this was another reason why my friends prefer this to others.

The park is easy to get around as you get a map of the whole park laying out the location as well as the rides and activity.There are plenty of rides to make you scared and thrilled.I particularly like nemesis and stealth.I will also recommend Rumba rapids and depth charge.If you want to experience the true extreme ride experience do go for Vortex.

The queues can be really frustrating and takes very long.We almost felt like skipping few rides because of waiting time.I couldn't see much in the way of deighting kids apart from fantasy fish,the showcase and fee lsit.So in case you are planning for family just think twice.I find Thorpe park is on the pricey side although there are few deals both online (check now -month of May-June) and supermarket with the option for fast-track tickets but still it is on the higher side.

In a nutshell it is a feel good factor for screamy rides but a kind of hyped off.

Summary: Overly hyped costly day out
