Between Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Drayton Manor, Blackpool Pleasure-Beach and Southport in its prime (think Lucozade-space-shot, whiplash-inducing Traumatizer), what’s your ideal pick?

I’m sure many of us have experience visiting the more clandestine, regionally-bound theme parks as kids and whatnot (like Gulliver’s World, like Camelot-whatever) but let’s keep it main in this poll.

Only been to Alton towers. Did all the big ones fine, but came of one of the kids ones rather green and wobbly.

I think that these theme parks are ruined by kids. Let us big kids have our own time. Once a year would be a start...

Thorpe Park has the best coasters in the UK.

All of them will have to up their game in the next few years with Universal opening.

Have only been to Alton towers and thorpe park but don't really remember thorpe park as I was very young. Been to Blackpool but unfortunately didn't get to the pleasure beach..was so annoyed, we went there for someone's birthday but just had drinks then drove back home next day which seemed a huge waste :bored:

Alton towers was great... plenty of good rollercoasters. I only remember the nemesis name tho. Need to take the kids
