Our Story

RideRater was founded on 10 June 2010. Our primary aim is to deliver unbiased news from within the British theme and amusement park industry. We also produce feature, analysis, review and editorial opinion articles.

We are entirely independent of all theme parks, their operators and all other websites. We are also entirely self-funded and are free of revenue-generating adverting. RideRater is not a company, business or revenue-generating entity.

We endeavour to write our news articles in a professional, neutral and unbiased fashion. We also write in a way that is designed to make sense to general members of the public – as well as our primary readership, theme park enthusiasts.

Our visits to theme parks visits usually take place in the same way that a visit by members of the general public would. We do not seek or generally accept offers of special treatment during the parks’ normal operating calendars. This is because as we are keen to get the same experience that the average guest would if they turned up at the park on the same day.
