Can you afford to miss out?
Can you and your Unit afford to miss out on the Explorer Scout and Scout Network event of the year? Take a look around the site to find out more about the weekend in September when over 400 of us will descend on a campsite in Surrey and go to Thorpe Park to have the time of our lives.
Friday 5th - Sunday 7th September 2008
It's all getting a bit BONKERS at Thorpe Park these days! New in 2006 was Stealth, fancy going 0-80mph in two point three seconds ? Then it goes up 60 metres! That's three times higher than Colossus, over twice as high as Tidal Wave! Yikes! Talking of which, Colossus is the only 10 loop roller coaster in the UK , that reaches speeds of 45mph, while Tidal Wave is like being strapped down, pushed off a massive waterfall, then someone pours a bath of water on you. Remember, waterproofs are for wimps!
There's also Nemesis:Inferno, which is very cool, G-forces of 4.5, and stupid speeds right down close to the ground. Then there's Rush, a giant swing basically, then all sorts of mad spinning things which some of Summit say are amazing, while some feel sick on the teacup ride! Still, there's always the Thorpe farm.
The "Theme Park Camp" is organised and run by Summit Scout Network who successfully ran the event for the last three years - take a look at the photos and event reports from the previous six camps.
