Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

[QTXAdsy]

Sadly for me, M&D's which is just an hour and a half away from me and have no intention to visit that cesspit.

I have no luck, what did I do to deserve this fate?

Drayton Manor for me, it is within walking distance.

Have not visited much this year, once I think.
I haven't even rode the new coaster yet.

I'll get round to it at some point with my lad. It is a nice walk or cycle up the canal to get to the park, almost no roads, no traffic, just nature, quite lucky really as it is a lovely walk on a nice summer morning.

Another Brean Leisure Park answer from me I'm afraid. I technically go at least once or twice per year for Brean Splash, and last went 2 weeks ago. The park itself, probably once every couple of years. But that's only because it's 9 miles away.

Grand Pier doesn't count I suppose? It has flat rides but no coasters (and quite a good ghost train). That's an annual thing roughly, just 4 miles away or 12 minutes on the train. If Funland visits the Tropicana, that's usually an annual pop my head in thing, just a 5 minute walk down the sea from from Grand Pier.

The 5 theme parks in the uk for distance and travel times from me
1) Drayton Manor 12 miles 25 mins me, Daughter and my son are Annual Pass holders so go on average 2 times a month.
2) Space Centre that’s a another park that we annual pass holders for and is 41 miles away but cause it’s mostly motorways is only 50 mins away
3) West Midlands Safari Park now this is nearer to me at 26 miles but cause I have to cut across Town to get to its 1 hr and 5 minutes away
4) Gullivers land 63 miles away and takes 1 hr 11 mins
5) Alton Towers is 45 miles away and takes 1hr 15 mins

Adventure Island Southend is our closest. I'd say we go about once a month on average. Would probably go more but then i'd have to go on Rage more and nobody needs that.

Legoland is our nearest theme park. Again on average i'd say about once a month, though rapidly declining under the new RAP system.

If Universal UK opens then that might become our closest (at least in journey time if not miles) so very much hoping that happens.

I'm curious as to where you might be that Adventure Island is your closest park but that Thorpe wouldn't be pretty much just as close as LLW?

Beat me to it. Surely Chessington is the closest "theme" park to Southend?
Or do you go the long way round the M25?

 

[rob666]

In my recent experience, both ways are the long way round on the M25...

 

[Mykeprime]

I don't think I have a local per say... But assuming it doesn't get Nimby'd, I'll be a hop, skip and a jump from Universal!
