Last week I took a trip out to Thorpe Park for the day. I was looking forward to the SAW licened rides and the atmosphere as I haven't been to a large theme park in a while and rollercoasters are a big passion of mine.
The day went fantastically with all the rides meeting expectations and especially the Sa Alive horror maze scaring the hell out of me and my family.
What most impressed me however was once it became dark, the whole atmosphere of the park changes due to the fantastic lighting and sound used throught the park. I thought I would post a few pictures to better show what I mean.
This shows how high the rollercoaster 'Stealth' is (205ft) it just dwarfs everything else around it.
This is the aptly named 'Tidal Wave' which has the biggest splash pool of all water rides in the UK, lit up at night it is amazing to see.
This is the 'SAW' rollercoaster, dimly lit to aid with the frightening, operessive feel of the ride
This coaster is called 'Collosus' and this is my favourite picture of the bunch. In the day it looks like any other generic rollercoaster but when the sun goes down the green and red lights really make this stand out in the park.




I'm starting to feel unwell by just looking at the pictures 8-}
