Howdy there explorers – all aboard!<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Jump aboard the Rocky Express! First opening at Thorpe Park in 1989 and open to take riders on the rockiest runaway train in the west ever since! This ride has become a family favourite and is sure to give you a surprisingly forceful but equally as enjoyable ride as you circle the central totem over and over and over again on the humped course at 11rpm! You can pick your favourite colour carriage to ride in \u2013 or get to the front of the queue and pick to ride in the train engine itself!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thorpe Park Mania Tip<\/strong><\/div>\n
It may look like a children’s ride but it has got a bit of go in it, it’s well worth a ride even if you are a bigger kid!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
