Storm Surge – Spin Into the Sky
Get ready for a whirlpool of fun on Storm Surge, Thorpe Park’s sky-high spinning water ride. Climb aboard a giant inflatable life raft with your friends or family and prepare for a 64ft spiraling descent.
As the raft twists and turns on its way down, you’ll feel completely out of control — splashing, spinning, and spiralling all the way to the bottom. Whether you’re racing your friends to see who screams loudest or simply enjoying the view from the top.
