Thorpe Park is one of the thrill capitals of the UK.
If you have older kids, they soon become adrenaline junkies at theme parks. Whilst the excellent Legoland, is a great family park, especially with younger kids, if you have teens then you need Thorpe Park to satisfy their need for speed.

Don’t live close? Make a short break of it
Try Thorpe Breaks to turn your visit into a short break.
You can get a combined park entrance tickets (including multi-day), and accommodation at a big discount combined price.
One tip is that you can book your park entrance tickets for slightly different days to your accommodation. This is great if you have a long way to travel as you can book a 2 night hotel stay, travelling down the night before you get into the park so that you can get the most out of your park tickets. We’ve done this and it made the stay a lot better, taking it all at a much more leisurely pace.
Note that many of the hotels in the area can be cheaper at weekends as many cater for business travellers near London in the week, and so rather than be empty at the weekend the rooms are cheaper. This means you can get a fantastic 2 night 4* hotel break, plus park entrance, a lot cheaper than you imagine.
