    This amazing roller coaster is in my top 3 rides in the UK. It's an exact replica of the layout of…read moreKingda Ka, currently the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, to be found in Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA. Unlike most coasters which are gravity driven (the car is lifted to the top of the first hill and gravity takes it round), Stealth is one of the few cable launched coasters (like the catapult on an aircraft carrier) in the country - it wasn't the first; that honour belongs to RITA:Queen of Speed in Alton Towers. Stealth is however the fastest coaster in the UK. You are launched from 0 to 80mph in under 2 seconds along a straight track. Then the car goes up vertically 205 feet, back down 205 feet, then over little bunny hill before coming to an abrupt stop. After what can be a long wait, the ride is over in around 10 seconds but let me assure you that 10 seconds is an amazing compressed adrenaline rush. The feeling of acceleration along the track is like having a wind powered face lift. In the vertical phase, you feel like you're in the space shuttle as it is launched. The drop sensation on the downward section is surprisingly muted and the abrupt stop brings hysterical laughter to a lot of riders, the sign of a good ride. It's one of the few rides I prefer to ride at the front but it's worthwile having that unobstructed view of the launch and rising phases. Also a top tip - use the single rider queue!! I'm not sure why they call it Stealth - the superstructure is visible from all around the park and the launch is nothing short of sensational!

    This is my favourite ride at Thorpe park along with saw. Me and my friends went at fright nights…read morewhere they had a special Halloween recorded audio to seem spooky which was a nice effect. Me and my friends were so scared to go on stealth the first time even though I have been on it before. We ended up going on it 6 times in one day. It was really nice when we could go in the pitch dark which was really scary as you couldn't see where you were going but then when you got to the top the whole park was lit up and the line of 20 minutes was totally worth the wait. Stealth will satisfy any thrill seeker and if you are scared of rollercoaster this is a great one to get rid of your fear of them as it does not go upside down!

    Fisher's farm park is probably one of the South's best kept secrets. A farm and amusement park…read moreaimed at 2-10 year olds this is a real find. The farm houses a variety of animals including many orphans from neighbouring farms. There are opportunities to get up close with the animals and to feed and pet them. They are all well cared for. In terms of amusements this place beats the theme parks hands down for the under 10s. There are the usual farm rides that you'd expect although some come with twists (such as the ghost train). The barrel bug ride is about the most fun you could possibly have on a farm! More or less all of the activities come in a mini and big variety and so families are well catered for. You can bounce on giant air pillows or trampolines, slide down a helterskelter and bumpy slide, have a death slide, go skating, play golf, get lost in a maze or take a trip on a merry go round amongst others. Eating is no hassle here and food is reasonably priced and good quality. Loos are clean. There's an indoor soft play area and a great new ball shooting range for days that are not so dry! We love it here and the biggest endorsement is the fact that, after just one visit and despite living an hour away, we bought a season ticket!

    We are visiting from America and heard about hobble down from a travel site. I have to say, I was…read moreincredibly impressed. This attraction definitely exceeded my expectations in every way. Even with Covid going on, they have managed to create an incredible experience. The photos on their website definitely do not do this place justice. In fact, their marketing could probably use some elbow grease because this place is amazing and you would have no way of knowing it unless you go! We have been in the UK for months now, and this was definitely a highlight of the trip. I brought my five-year-old son, expecting a little more than a petting zoo and themed playground. This is really so much more. I know I have great photos of lemurs stepping on my shoes, albino wallabies, exotic birds, and impressively huge bunnies. My son was also able to see meerkats and prairie dogs up close and personal which he loved. The playgrounds, or nothing short of amazing. My son loved the tiny playground in the cafe area. Imagine his surprise, when we turned a corner and saw the massive water pillow, swing rides, flying castle, high ropes.... AND A huge sand & water play area. He didn't want to leave!!! So, amazingness aside, here are my tips: - for now, don't forget your mask. They do have the café and shop that require them. - Grubby clothes for sand/water play. Are usually dust my son with a tad but of baby powder because sand won't stick to it. You may want to bring a wet bag and change of clothes. (Yo, Hobbledown managers- I would have spent a fortune on clothes Who is covered in wet sand, if you had some in your shop!) - Feel free to bring sand play toys. There are a few here but they are limited and chained to specific areas. Next time we go, we will be bringing our own Sandcastle, shovels and dam-building toys. (Again, can't believe they don't sell these in their shop!) - there's hand sanitizer & hand washing stations everywhere. No need to bring that giant bottle of hand sanitizer with you. As I said, we had an amazing time here. The staff were all friendly with the kids and the experience was an A+ in my opinion. My son has not stopped asking when we can go back.

Las…read moreatracciones están totalmente desfasadas en tiempo y tecnología, hay suciedad por todas partes incluso entrando a primera hora, y muchas atracciones permanecen cerradas. Los precios son desorbitados, y encima pretenden cobrarte dentro nuevamente por atracciones que deberían estar incluidas en la entrada. El buffet de pasta y pizza es un insulto: pastas frías, mal hechas, con salsas de lata y pizzas de microondas. Pagamos un precio absurdo de 72 € por 2 adultos y 1 niño, y encima solo permiten 3 platos y 3 vasos. Si quieres cambiar de plato o vaso para otra comida o bebida, tienes que rogar. Además, ponen atracciones de agua y luego te cobran extra si quieres secarte. Las entradas en taquilla cuestan casi el doble que online en su propia página. El personal no es amable ni está cualificado. En definitiva, es el peor parque de atracciones que he visto, y sin duda uno de los más caros. Un auténtico robo. --- Review in English Legoland Windsor is simply terrible. The rides are completely outdated in both time and technology, the park is dirty everywhere (even right after opening), and many attractions are closed. Prices are outrageous, and on top of that, they try to charge you again inside for rides that should already be included in the ticket. The pasta and pizza buffet is a disgrace: cold pasta, poorly cooked, canned sauces, and microwave pizzas. We paid an insane €72 for 2 adults and 1 child, and they only allow 3 plates and 3 cups. If you want to change a plate or cup for another food or drink, you literally have to beg. They also have water rides and then charge you extra if you want to dry off. Tickets at the gate cost almost double compared to buying them online on their own website. The staff is neither friendly nor qualified. All in all, this is the worst theme park I've ever been to, and definitely one of the most expensive. A total rip-off.

    This is the second time we came to this park, both times we thought the decorations and the details…read morewere amazing and really cool for anyone to enjoy of all ages. The first time we came was around covid, a lot of the stuff was closed which was disappointing, however we assumed it was because of the virus. However this time, we came back, a lot of the stuff we had enjoyed had closed, like the star was side or the superheros side and they were some of the best ones. Now, we weren't expecting to do a huge amount of rides but we were expecting to do some! We qued up for the car race ride which we were excited as it is one of the biggest ones, the ride closed 3 times whilst we were quing for over an hour nd still weren't halfway through the line. The first 2 times they opened it up in under 5 minutes but the 3rd time they recommended for the people at the back of the que to come back later as they didnt know when they were gonna fix the problem but we ended up leaving aswell. Then we went to do a ride where we r on horses and it spins really fast and swings us. We were in the que for abt 40 minutes then they closed it nd said it would take 40-50 minutes to open back up. So again we left as we had atleast 30 minutes more que time to do after that. Nd the thing is, lego land opens late nd closes early. U feel like ur rushing through the park when ur there and quing up for no reason is really irritating. There were also probably less then 15 benches in the whole park meaning u can only sit down really if ur on a ride (if u manage to get on one). There were only 2 smoking areas in the whole park nd they r both close to the entrance nd one of the smoking areas is connected to the children's park nd kids run in nd out of there. There was only one water fountain to fill up bottles but once again its at the entrance, most people have full bottles at that point so they should put more around the park. But one of the biggest issues was leaving the park. It is so disorganised that it took us over 2 hrs to leave the car park. The rides that we did get to go on however were fun but none of us got to go on any of the big rides nd we only did 3 in total which is not a lot for the price we paid.

They denied this as it is not their policy to refund. Whilst I understand a policy, I explained it was a genuine oversight and I would not benefit from a credit as I don't live nearby to use this. One kind manager did contact the owner about this but they refused to give me a refund. My five year old was left in tears as we were unable to then afford an alternative place to book. What an awful money grabbing business!!!! Please don't give them any more of your money!!!

It also has bumper cars and another roundabout type ride. Best to go in the mornings if you can as the weekend afternoons are very busy, although most people like it so much they are okay with it. The other problem is that adults should be with their children in the bumper car queue because other children queue jump and the Gambado staff do not sort this out. This is of course very upsetting for children and parents alike. They should have a better queueing system or at least one staff member operating the ride and a second controlling the queue. The clever thing would be a proper queueing system which actually lines people up properly. However today there was a great staff member who actually stopped the queue jumpers and he should be applauded, he also really cared and was great with the children. It is also expensive however it is so good they can happily get away with it.
