Can you please use correct grammar when you post - that means capital letters!
If you do, then people will be more likely to respond to topics (and you) in a more positive manner.

Oh, and the correct answer Alton Towers in reality AND on paper

I've only been to Chessie, Thorpe, and Alton, but I have to say Alton blows all three of them away.
Thorpe is actually a decent park though, a lot better than anybody gives it credit for, although people say I caught it on a good day. The coasters are all pretty average, but it's not a terrible park by any means. I've been to a lot worse, and have been on a lot worse rides.
Chessie is definitely more of a family park. They lack as far as coasters go, but that's okay because their theming is pretty nice and they have animals, etc, and you can still have a laugh there without major thrills.
Alton just has everything. It has the scenery, the theming, the good coasters, enough to fill up an entire day and then some. I loved it, and it's in my top three parks, without a doubt, and perhaps even my favourite park I've ever been to.
So, Alton.

Alton, without question. It's got the atmosphere, the rides (well, coasters at least, their flat rides are awful), good theming and the place is huge. You feel like you're in a different world.
I still love Thorpe though...just not in an obsessive fanboy way.

I "prefur" Thorpe over Alton. I haven't been to any other UK parks though, so I can't be possitively sure it's the best. Thorpe has better coasters imo and is a better park due to various reasons. Don't get me wrong though, Alton is great too. It's just that Alton is set really far away and hard to get to, the place is huge with the rides spread out making it hard to get to the ride you would like to ride and some of the areas just don't make any sense to me. And of course Stealth beats any ride at Alton imho. That's the reasons why I prefer Thorpe

Yes, I don't think location should be ignored as a factor. When I visited both Alton and Thorpe last year I only got to spend 6 hours at Alton due to it's bad location (takes forever to get there with public transportation) while I spent 10 hours at Thorpe which I think was one of the major contributing factors to why I had a better time at ThorpeMartyn B said:
