"I have been here many times over the years, and it has expanded much since about 12 years ago, when its biggest attraction was the missile, which looks tame now compared to the ridaes elsewhere such as Alton Towers. This theme park is a lot smaller than some which you are used to, but it does have a theme rather than just rides. Its size is represented in its value, as it is much cheaper than some of the other theme parks, at £15 for adults, and £12 for children (free if they are smaller than .9m ).
As I was saying, it's theme is the American Wild west. It has an indoor play area for the younger kids, which is actually a fair size, with ball pits, soft play areas and a drop slide, all based inside Mount Rushmore. You can walk through boot hill where at the bottom there are more smaller childrens rides, such as 'Wagon wheel' which is a small ferris wheel, and a mini pirate ship. There is also showings of a Wild West shoot out set in a wild west town, with working saloon. (Where you can go for a drink after the show).
There are the stalls with hoopla and the such.
And there are rides for the big kids too, the oldest being the Missile which is a roller coaster with the usual twist, turns, height and drops as most. It takes you up a steep drop, and you go round the track both forwards and backwards.
The log flume if I believe correctly, used to be the tallest log flume in Europe until recently.
It has another large rollercoaster, which has changed its name repeatedly, but last time I was there was called the iron wolf.
There are many eating establishments, and places to buy refreshments and souvineers as you would expect from a theme park.
There is a train which takes you around the theme park, so too much walking isn't a problem.
A great day out for kids both big and small."
