Theme Park Roadtrip - Coasters, castles & other adventures

Thorpe Park, April 2025

Thorpe Park was our heading for theme park roadtrip on day 2 and it was time for some big rollercoasters.

Roadtrip day 1. We hit the road for a long drive south. First stop: Chessington World of Adventures

Something new and chocolatey. We took our first ever visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham, and it was great!

We were at the Trafford Centre and hungry, so we took a visit to Archies for a bright pink dining experience

Part 2 of our Manchester Merlin Annual Pass day out was at the Sea Life Centre in Trafford Palazzo

Merlin Annual passes at the ready for a visit to the Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester.

Dinosaurs, Mummies, Artwork, Asian Culture and live Lizards. All of this and more can be found at Manchester Museum.

A day out looking at Lego in Manchester? Sounds like a plan. We visited Bricktastic 2025!

We headed to Alton Towers for the public opening of their new for 2025 ride - Toxicator!

With a Merlin Annual Pass in hand, we headed to Alton Towers for the opening day of the 2025 season, with a new ride and Alton After Dark!
