Comments

Thorpe Park has Colossus - the ride with the highest number of inversions in the world. 

Based around a lake, it's a mixture of fantastic new rides in superbly themed areas and old fashioned attractions & rides poorly laid out.

Cost

Cost for Mummy, Daddy and Me     £53 (in 2003)

Theming

Some areas better than others.  Their latest - Tidal Wave - is very good.  It really feels like a small town being hit by a tidal wave.

Cleanliness

Not bad.  Toilets OK.
