Dayton Manor Park
Tam worth, Staffordshire
Set among 280 acres of lakes and parkland, Dayton Manor features some of the biggest, wettest and scariest rides around. Among them are Apocalypse, the world's first stand-up tower drop, Shock wave, Europe's only stand-up roller coaster and Storm face, often referred to as the best water ride in the country. Family attractions include the new 4D cinema, and young children will enjoy Thomas Land – a multi million-pound attraction including 12 themed rides and a spectacular indoor play area. Also good news for the little ones is that there's a zoo and the theme park is so well designed that nothing ever seems more than a 10-minute walk away.
On line ticket prices (www.dray ton manor.co.uk ) for all ages are £18, a saving of up to 28 per cent on gate prices.
