England is home to many world famous theme parks. Two of the best are Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures. Although this is by no means the extent of top quality theme parks in the country.
The spring is when England comes alive. After a long, dark
winter everything springs to life. Days get longer, flowers bloom and activity
in the parks brings life back to the country.
Another option that the weather provides is visiting
any one of the number of theme parks in England. Despite it's relatively small size, England is blessed with some of the best theme parks in the world that are home to the best, and most frightening rides you'll find anywhere.
Two that I keep on hearing about are Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures. With the weather improving daily it's really getting to theme park season so I hope this brief review inspires you to take a trip to a theme park near you. Get out there and enjoy yourself!
So first up, Alton Towers. Alton Towers, according to what I've read online, is
the UK's most popular theme park. It contains many "white knuckle"
rides but two that keep coming up are the Nemesis and Oblivion. There are a
couple more family-friendly rides that younger ones will enjoy but if, like me,
you LOVE rollercoasters than Oblivion is definitely for you. One thing I will
say though, it's quite a trip from London and you will probably want to go for
the weekend to really enjoy yourself.
Thorpe Park next. There are a few water rides at Thorpe Park so you will
definitely want to wait for the weather to get nice before you visit. That
said, there are also a ton of rollercoaster rides that will leave your stomach
wondering which way is up. There's one ride that goes
from 0-80mph in under three seconds. That is literally break neck speed! It's
also home of the rollercoaster with the fourth steepest drop in the world!
Finally, Chessington World of Adventures. Over 90% of the rides here are
suitable for children under 12 so if that sounds like your family then this is
the theme park for you. They do have a couple "white knuckle" rides
but for the most part this is a family orientated park that will be a bit more
gentle on your internal organs. It's also based a lot closer to London than
Alton Towers so for those with little kids to worry about this is one of those
fun kids days out that will have you home by supper!
