Thorpe Park will be the host for this year’s UK Theme Park Awards, with George Akid set to return to his role as presenter for the awards ceremony at the popular attraction.
Representing the leading public facing awards for the UK theme park industry, the UK Theme Park Awards recognise the best rides and attractions, shows and events, as well as the theme parks offering the best customer service and value.
Featuring 22 voting categories, a shortlist of finalists has been whittled down by an expert panel of judges including Planet Attractions’ Editor-in-Chief, Tom Anstey.
Thorpe Park is nominated in a number of categories, including the coveted Theme Park of the Year, Best New Attraction and Best Theme Park for Families. The park has recently made a record-breaking addition, with the Mack-manufactured steel hypercoaster, Hyperia, representing the tallest (236ft, 72m) and fastest (80mph, 130kmph) rollercoaster in the UK.
“We’re delighted to be welcoming fellow industry peers from all over the country to the 2024 UK Theme Park Awards, hosted here at Thorpe Park - the home of feel-good thrills,” said Neil Poulter, divisional director for Thorpe Park.
“We’ve no doubt this will be an amazing event and we look forward to collectively celebrating everyone’s hard work and wins.”
