Yes, it's true! Thorpe Park is finally back open and we can't wait to show you inside!
Thorpe Park has nearly reopened its gates for the 2026 season, marking the return of one of the UK’s top thrill destinations.
After a closed winter period, the park is now back in operation, welcoming guests with its full lineup of rides, attractions, and experiences. Visitors can once again take on some of the country’s most intense coasters, including Stealth, The Swarm, and Saw – The Ride.
The 2026 season brings a fresh start for the park, with returning favourites, updated experiences, and a full calendar of events expected throughout the year. From high-speed launches to immersive attractions, Thorpe Park continues to focus on delivering a strong mix of thrill and entertainment.
Guests planning a visit this season should expect a busy opening period, especially on weekends and school holidays. It is recommended to arrive early and make use of the park’s app to check queue times and plan your day efficiently.
With the gates now nearly open, the 2026 season is officially underway. Thorpe Park is back.
