  'Rush' Launches At Thorpe Park
For their latest addition, Thorpe Park has built just that, and gone back to the basics of the playground -- Rush, as they proudly tell us, is the largest swing in the world.
More likely is the inclusion of Rush in Thorpe Park as a way to provide younger thrill seekers with something to get them used to the sort of thrills that await them on the bigger kids’ flat rides, such as Slammer and Vortex.
Rush is a good addition to the park, although I tend to think everytime I visit Thorpe Park that Chessington has lost out on a load of ride updates to Thorpe.

At the centre of the park, a nicely themed branch of KFC shows signs of having been caught up in the devastating Tidal Wave that hits the unfortunate Amity Cove every two minutes, while the rest of the park is served by a selection of own-brand fast food outlets.

Although Thorpe is becoming a very good place to visit, there are one or two areas in which it still feels to be struggling to cope with its newfound status as a major park.
