In a move that brilliantly merges academic achievement with adrenaline-fueled fun, Thorpe Park Resort has unveiled an incredible incentive for the UK's hard-working GCSE students. The Surrey-based thrill-seeker's paradise is offering free entry to those who triumph in their upcoming summer exams.
The 'Ride & Revise' scheme is a direct reward for academic excellence. Students who secure top grades—between 7 and 9, equivalent to the old A or A* system—in any of their subjects will be eligible to claim a complimentary ticket to the park.
How to Claim Your Thrilling Reward
The process to redeem this well-deserved day out is straightforward:
- Earn the grades: Achieve a 7, 8, or 9 in any GCSE subject this summer.
- Grab your results slip: Once you have your official certificate or results slip as proof, you're ready to go.
- Book your day: Head to a dedicated website—gcse.thorpepark.com—to register your details and book your free visit.
The offer is valid for visits from the day the park reopens after the winter season in March 2025, right through until July 2025, giving students ample time to plan their celebratory scream on iconic rides like Stealth, Nemesis Inferno, and The Swarm.
More Than Just a Free Ticket
Thorpe Park's initiative goes beyond a simple giveaway. A spokesperson for the resort highlighted the immense pressure students are under, stating the offer is a fantastic way to 'celebrate their amazing achievements and hard work.' It’s a tangible 'well done' for the countless hours spent revising.
This promotion isn't just about rewarding success; it's a clever nod to the park's own identity. With rides based on terrifying horror icons like Saw and The Walking Dead, they joke that the 'fear of failing a GCSE is much scarier than any of our rides!'
So, for students across the country buried in textbooks, there's now a powerful new motivation to aim for the top: the promise of a day of heart-stopping loops, drops, and inversions, completely on the house.
