Hi just wondering how often do you visit a theme park in a season. I have a Tussauds/Merlin annual pass and i have visited alton towers once chessington 4 times and Thorpe Park over 20 times really just because i live just down the motorway in Basingstoke so it only it takes under an hour to get there.

I will have done Alton Towers twice this season just because I live so far away, but would like to do it 3 or 4 times next season and try Thorpe a couple of times away because my missus' parents house is only 60 miles away from Thorpe

yeah, I'm a TP local too, just 20mins away.

I'd say I get to Thorpe about 10 times, CWoA maybe 5. Alton is a bit further afield, so usually only once/twice a year. I Also try to get to Drayton and BPB once a year as well.

This year I went to Legoland for the first time, and was not impressed. I have a huge Lego town in my spare room, so I loooooooove Lego, but the park itself failed to impress me. Yes, the models were great, but the rides sucked arse! And as for the 'pick-a-brick' shop, how over-priced can it get? TIP: if you want to buy specific Lego bricks, go here:

Anyway, If I had my way I would get to a park at least once a week. sadly real life gets in the way!

Well this year i've done so far:

Alton: x10 (5/6 more days likely)
Thorpe: x4 + 2 halves (4/5 days likely)
Chessy: x3 (1 more likely)
Blackpool: x2

All the same really this year, nothing new or special.

However next year it's likely i'll have Port Aventura and the Warner Park in Spain added in.

And in 2009 the Florida parks at least twice :)

Find it unbelievable how people can visit one park so often?!

Over 20 times in space of 5 months? Or 38 to Blackpool?

Don't understand how you don't get sick of it :?
