Detonator at THORPE PARK

Keep an empty stomach for Detonator - you're going to need it!

Detonator will raise you up on high, so high in fact that you will get a jaw dropping view of the rest of Thopre Park. At 100 ft above ground level, you are held static for a moment before plunging straight back down again.

G Forces of 5.5, a speed of 75 Km/h and 100 ft of free falling madness present themselves to anyone brave enough to ride Detonator. Hold on to your stomachs, this is a thrill ride that will really test your nerves.
