Tidal Wave

Thorpe Park· Chertsey, United Kingdom

Tidal Wave opened on 7 April 2000 and was the tallest water ride in Europe at the time. Twenty-seat boats climb 26 metres before plunging down a steep chute at over 70 km/h into a wave that soaks riders and onlookers alike.

The ride is themed around a fishing village hit by a tsunami, with a shipwrecked boat and flooded buildings around the splashdown.
