[jackass]

Alton towers. :)

Although Thorpe Parks quite good too!

[Technologic]

Alton towers

[N-Dubz]

thorpe parrrrrkkk :)

[Technologic]

To be honest.. everybody from the north will vote alton towers and everybody from the south will vote thorpe park

[iTech]

WHERES OAKLAND!

[Virgin Mary]

Alton towers, it has the best rollercoasters and is only 15 minutes away from me. I thought drayton manor was good as well, they're the only 2 from that list I've been to.

[Slowpoke]

WHERE'S BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH? I'M OFFENDED.

[MissAlice]

To be honest.. everybody from the north will vote alton towers and everybody from the south will vote thorpe park

I disagree :P I live within a 45 minute drive of Thorpe Park and Legoland. Have been to Chessington many times, and find it a little tame. Thorpe Park is amazing, and Legoland really isn't for me. Alton Towers is no.1 for me I only wish I lived nearer to it.

[e5]

Strangly, never been to any of them, well I wen to Alton Towers when I was like 3? I'm looking into going to them soon though, well some :8.

[Stacey.]

I've only been to Thorpe Park and Chessington; Chessington's ok but I love Thorpe Park.
I want to go to Alton Towers.

[Sammeth.]

In terms of guest numbers and amount of rollercoasters/attractions, Pleasure Beach, Blackpool would be the best as its the most visited park in the UK.

As much as I love it though I think the best is Drayton Manor cus it has a homely feel to it :D

[Geraint]

WHERES OAKLAND!

It's Oakwood.

I've only ever been to Drayton Manor so it'll have to be that.

[Juch]

Went chessington today but thorpe parks the best in the poll imo

lol@legoland

[N!ck]

I vote Alton Towers, but where's Blackpool?

[N-Dubz]

Southend has a nice bigg-ish adventure park now, with rides which is looking q. up to scratch.. :)

Thorpe park has to be the best for me, like 45 minutes way and absouletly great day out.. I dont have to worry about staying like I do when I got Alton Towers.

[benjamin]

alton towers!

[Slowpoke]

Indeed, it's greaaat! I can see it from my house! :)

Invite me over please babe.

[JackBuddy]

Thorpe Park by far, Alton Towers is too tame.

By the way, this isn't really gonna get fair results lol.

Btw Blackpool is an amusement park, not a theme park. ;) The only reason Blackpool might have the most visitors is because of the free entrance price.

[IPhone]

I have been to Alton Towers once and i thought it was okay but much prefer Thorpe Park + i live only about an hour away :P. Btw, like you sig JackBuddy :).

Theme Park/Amusement Park - there is no difference. Alton Towers is an Amusement Park! And the free entrance price doesn't exactly get you much. I mean how much fun can you have walking around a park and watching other people go on rides? :P The reason it has so many visitors is probably because Blackpool being a tourist destination in itself. Innit!

[Looochella]

Drayton Manor is amazing.
Alton Towers is OK. The queues are way too long, but the rides are really good.
I really prefer Drayton Manor though.

[alexxxxx]

To be honest.. everybody from the north will vote alton towers and everybody from the south will vote thorpe park

alton towers isn't really north but yeah

and VM if you go to the same college as i am going next year, you must live AGES away.

[Janczyk]

Where is Bentley Park? :rolleyes:

I've only ever been to Alton Towers so there I guess

[xBenxx]

I'm from the south and i think alton towers owns. Although everytime i go i only get on a few rides because the ques are like masive.

[splatttt]

I've only ever been drayton manner.
but i do think its not the best
alton towers sounds 10x better :)

[Turnip]

alton towers is the best..
:)
no questions asked..

[Havoline]

Butlins tbh

[lScottl2]

thorpe park by far i love it i go every year

[24]

Alton Towers. FTW!! :D:D

[Hushie]

Probs ALton Tower.

Went Lightwater valley yesterday, alright but no scary rides.

[Spiffing]

ive only been to alton towers so id say there but having been to america 3 times, Britain looks like a complete crap hole ;/ the streets are filthy and the people are rude
but to the point
alton towers has nice doghnuts

[cocaine]

my opinion is going to be very biased because I've only been to thorpe park, except from Alton when I was 7.. but I don't think I went on anything excited - so thorpe park :)

[lScottl2]

didnt take a ride on anything exiteD eh ;)

[cocaine]

didnt take a ride on anything exiteD eh ;)

[Bun]

[Mickster]

God, I hate rollercoasters, so probably LegoLand because it's the least rollercoaster-y.

[Slowbro]

Blackpool Pleasure Beach, place to be!

[L?KE]

Alton Towers :)))

Been there most compared to the others and it's by far my fave. Ok, so it's not the closest, but still quality ;)

[Malachy]

Sorry for the massive bump - but the voting lines have closed and I can now reveal that HabboxForum's Best British Theme Park 2008 with an almighty 32 votes is...

ALTON TOWERS



Thorpe Park came in second with 14 votes meanwhislt Drayton Manor & LegoLand snapped up joint third with 5 votes each.
Chessington have been officially awarded the Wooden Spoon after only 2 votes meaning they come last :P.
So until next year - Alton Towers is the Best British Theme Park!


Thanks to everyone who voted :).

[Stephen08]

Pfft what about Gullivers Land

[5,5]

lol yeah greatest in britain?
yeah we in ohio, usa. have the greatest in the world. (offficial) which is Cedar Point. went there for the first time this summer and its the best. maverick is also voted best ride in the world (at cedar point)

so suck on that for a bit.

[Browney]

why the hell are you on the UK forum if you do nothing but bad mouth the UK and shout about US superiority? Isn't there a US forum you can go to?

Yeah, greatest in Britain. Hence the title "Britains Best Theme Park". You might be big on amusement parks, but you sure arent big on reading :S!

We are very lucky here in Britain, we have more than one great theme park, hence the thread title: What is Britain's Best Theme Park 2008? For the majority of people, we all live close enough to travel to one of them within a few hours or less. I live 45 minutes or so from one of them, so could visit every day if I wanted to, how great is that :P and the furthest one is approximately 4 hours away, by road not by plane :P great too don't you think? I would hate to have to wait for one summer visit to Cedar Point, when I have so much more on offer here ;)

[Crimson]

I'm from the south... well, southeast.

Alton Twoers.

[Misawa]

Alton Towers gets my vote, followed by Thorpe Park. I could not care less about the others.

[Zabuza]

[JackBuddy]

Britain's Best Theme Park 2008 for-people-who-vote-for-the-only-one-they-live-near-or-have-visited.

Anyway, ride-wise it has to be Thorpe Park.

[Ashley 12344]

I really liked Alton Towers. Although I haven't been to Thorpe Park and was about 8 when I went to Chessington.
