What's Changed?
Established in 2000, the ThemeParks-UK website has been providing an independent guide to the UK's theme parks for over 8 years. It enables visitors to access a wide range of information, images and video covering 5 of the UK's top theme parks. Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, Drayton Manor and Legoland Windsor are all included on one easy to use website.

Now, in time for the hugely popular Halloween season, we've launched this brand new website! We've brought together all the ideas and suggestions you've sent us over the last few months and have incorporated them into what you see today. Don't worry, all the most popular elements are still here, such as our ride reviews and useful information like opening times and ticket prices.

The central theme behind the new website is interactivity, you're now able take part in polls, rate all the best rides and attractions, read other people's reviews and you can even write your own. All of this is possible without having to go through a lengthy registration process, which we know is a frustrating element of so many websites, so get interacting now!

We've also decided to build upon the independent nature of the website, by introducing exclusive top tips and advice for making the most of a visit to the big parks. Everything from beating the queues and where to eat, to the useful facilities available and what to wear! We've also improved our sneak previews of future rides and attractions, making sure you know what's coming months before the park's own promotion begins.

As well as all those features the whole design has been totally revolutionized, with a swanky new navigation menu, an interactive map that makes finding a park near you easier, a built-in search function, simple text re-sizing, and many more enhancements. There's even more on the way too, including brand new guides on where to stay if you're planning to turn a day out into a mini holiday!

Enough waffling on from me, it's time to let you explore. We'd also really like to know what you think, because without you we couldn't have got this far. What do you like about it, is there anything you don't, have you spotted a mistake... email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
