yeh, just in front of the log flume thing actually. Not very well advertised thb and a bit pricey iirc but the fact you could go and get soaked by the splash from the logs and then go get relatively dry and avoid pnuemonia was a good thing.

I'm sure they dont compare to yank park since yanks like to do everything bigger than anyone else but the really fast accelerating ride i went on (cant remember its name now) accelaerated faster than most bies ive been on and made my eyes bounce about in my head so much i coulnd't focus properly till we got to the top....just before the really scary drop where i did t really want my eyes focusing properly tbh

There's Tidal Wave and Loggers Leap at thorpe park, or there was the last time I went. The drying booths are in front of Tidal Wave, which is the one near KFC

The secret is to go midweek when the kids are all at school again. That way there are no queues
