Thorpe Park Reopening: Happy Height Day

Goodbye Mr Monkey's Banana Ride and Chief Ranger's Carousel, Hello Colossus, Stealth and Saw. For junior daredevils reaching that all-important tall-enough-to-ride height is a big moment and Thorpe Park are offering free admission to the first 500 children, plus a friend or guardian, who measure between the magic 1.4m and 1.5m mark on Saturday March 22 and Sunday March 23. Unfortunately sneaky hat wearing tactics and Cinderella style shoe stuffing won’t float as visitors are asked to remove their shoes before being measured.
