A combination of few visitors from that demographic, and the English climate means it is deserted much of the time.
One of the few attractions for families with young children at Thorpe Park is Neptune's Beach.
An overview of the ride rising above the park.
The lagoon under the ride is scattered with bits of town infrastrucutre that have been swept away.
True to the name of the ride, a huge wave is generated on the splashdown.
The higest point of the ride.
The loading station, on a bit of a lean.
The ride is themed to the fictional American fishing town of Amity Cove being hit by a tidal wave.
Tidal Wave is a simple 'shoot the chutes' type ride, whose sole purpose is to soak people to the skin.
Naturally the ride is quite dominanating.
On the way back to the station riders are given a scenic view of the.....maintenance garage.
The ride photo store captures the 1950s style quite nicley.
An electromagnetic braking system decelerates the train smoothly and quietly.
The airtime hill passes quite close to Tidal Wave.
After dropping down the other side of the top hat you speed over an airtime hill.
