Becuase its mint, and has loads of "intense" roller coaster/rides. 
 
Air, Nemesis, Oblivion, Rip saw, Corkscrew (Its alright), Energiser (better than i thought actually), submission wasnt bad, plus theres a load more rides that are decent like the mine train/log flume/rapids. 
 
I think its good value for money, as long as you dont pick a day where its rammed!

Towers, what other park gets away wirth charging £30 a head and people still flock in the millions. 
 
Black pools full scally's, pikeys, hard to get to, and not very nice in general

Hard to say really. 
 
Alton Towers is a pain the arse to get about the park, everything is a mile apart and takes ages to get onto rides. 
 
Thorpe Park is getting better but still does'nt have the selection of rides that Alton Towers has. 
 
The best overall park I would say is Chessington, they just need to update some of the rides as there getting on a bit now.

Thorpe Park is just outside London about 5 miles from Windsor and Staines, quite close to Chessington TBH.

What's rather sad about this is that it was on 10 April 1997.
