There’s just something about theme parks, i love them, to a degree. Roller-coasters, swinging ships, rapids, the perfect way to spend a summers day when you find yourself with a little spare cash. The rides that propel you too high speeds in a matter of seconds, leaving both your insides and contents of your bowel in your seat, not so much. I find it hard to see the enjoyment in a ride where your eyes are affixed permanently shut. Maybe its because I’m a pussy, infact i know it is. The novelty photo received at the end revealing a frail, scared explorer, eyes shut, gripping the harness for deal life while the girl to my side manning up to the challenge, arms in the air. Screw you Stealth!

It had been a while since we actively infiltrated a theme park, at the time we cracked Chessington, Thorpe Park had little in terms of high intensity rides. However, now with the shift in focus from a primarily child, water themed park to one aimed at teenager and young adults, the roller-coasters and shock rides multiplied.

Located in what is effectively a marshland there is little in the way of security at Thorpe Park. Access is as easy as jumping a small fence adjacent to a woodland path. The IR cameras, although littering the site are easily seen and avoided, the only real danger is to bump into the security guards on their hourly patrols.
