SUMMER NIGHTS ARE BACK

Limited After Hours Tickets Mean Low Queues

Surf’s up! Summer Nights return to THORPE PARK Resort • Exclusive summer party event with limited tickets available
Sunset coaster rides and pop-up bars on the beach
Catch the sunset over world-class rollercoasters,
chill out on the beach with pop-up beach bars,
grab a bite to eat from the BBQ or rip it up on
FlowRider – an adrenalin drenched surf experience
– as THORPE PARK Resort opens for a
season of exclusive Summer Nights.
Perfect for thrill-seekers in search of the holiday
vibe, Summer Nights are on Friday and Saturday
nights from 11th July to 30th August. Gates open
from 7-10pm.
With limited tickets on sale and priced at just £15

hot summer day crowds and enjoy the cool
breeze of one of the Resort’s top five coasters.

stay all night at the Park.
Take your pick from the UK’s first winged coaster
THE SWARM; Stealth, one of Europe’s fastest
and tallest; the 100ft ‘beyond vertical’ drop of
the movie-themed coaster SAW-The Ride; or
inversion coasters Colossus and Nemesis Inferno.
PLUS get a super-soaking on Tidal Wave, bump
around on King Pig’s Wild Hog Dodgems and
take a spin on Storm in a Teacup.
If the beach gets too hot, cool down on the
Resort’s new state-of-the-art surf machine,
FlowRider. Available for group or single bookings,
book a crash surf course and learn how to rip it
up in an hour.

After riding the coasters and the waves, why not

the ‘THORPE PARK Resort Island’ with 90 bitesized rooms only a fin away from the summer
fun and a perfect base to explore the Resort.

Located only an hour from Maidstone, Thorpe Park is one of our favourite summer destinations for a thrillfilled experience. Why not make a short break of it and stay at the new Thorpe Shark Hotel, where they have
just unveiled the unique walk-through Shark Sculpture.
After checking in at the nautical-themed fishing
hut, guests then walk through the open jaws of
the Shark Sculpture constructed from vintage
and recycled Thorpe Park relics and roller coaster
track to their bite-sized cabin rooms.
Promising to give all the family a great night’s
sleep in one of its compact and stylishly designed
rooms sleeping up to four people, all rooms
