What is ThemeParks-UK?
Established in 2000, the ThemeParks-UK website has been providing an independent guide to the UK's theme parks for over 7 years. It enables visitors to view a wide range of information and images covering 5 of the UK's top theme parks all on one easy to use website: Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, Drayton Manor and Legoland Windsor.
Although ThemeParks-UK is not operated or funded by the parks that it features, due to the close relationship with the parks own management it always has the latest and most accurate information. In order to offer visitors more than the parks own websites ThemeParks-UK provides extra features such as opinion polls and the opportunity to have their own reviews and photos added.
During its time online, ThemeParks-UK has become a recommended website of the tourist boards VisitBritain and EnjoyEngland. It has become popular both in the UK and internationally, been featured in the press (Daily Echo), a national computer magazine (Web User) and has been included in the official magazine of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (Fun World).
