There are many ways in which you can spend your money whilst at Thorpe Park. Here's a little feature on what there is to buy...
There are 4 main shops that you can buy your Thorpe Park merchandise from: the Colossus Shop, Inferno Shop, SAW Store and the Thorpe Mega Store. Obviously, Colossus Shop, Inferno Shop and Saw Store are situated next to their respective rides, and contain general Thorpe Park merchandise as well as ride-specific items. The Thorpe Mega Store is the main shop from which you can buy Thorpe Park merchandise - items relating to all of the major attractions as well other non-Thorpe relating items. Cuddly toys, clothing, homeware, stationery and more is available in Thorpe Mega Store, as well as clothing from the likes of Bench and Quiksilver. Prices tend to be on the expensive side, as is often the way with Theme Parks.

There are a few other smaller stalls that sell Thorpe merchandise. For example, sometimes outside Tidal Wave you can find a stall selling ponchos to keep riders dry on the ride. Treasure Trove Shop in Port Atlantis is a smaller version of Thorpe Mega Store, and will sell a small variety of Thorpe products. On busier days, other stalls will be set up around the park (including in queuelines), selling ice creams, drinks and sweets.
A lot of guests like to buy souvenirs from their visit in the form of on-ride photos. Most of the major rides have on-ride photo facilities provided by Picsolve; see Ride Ratings to find out which ones do. On Ride photos can come in a variety of items - photographs, keyrings, magnets - even T-Shirts and mousemats! Prices range from around £7 to £20 for an on-ride photo product.
SAW - The Ride also has an on-ride video option, allowing guests to buy a DVD of their ride! These DVDs are £12 each, and a short clip of the movie can be viewed before purchasing.
There are lots of opportunities for gaming at Thorpe. Arcades are present in areas such as Port Atlantis and in the Inferno Shop in Calypso Quay. There are many other games that you can have a go at dotted around the park - most noticeably in Ranger County and by the Arena. Games such as Buzz Wires and Hoopla are available to play for quite a high price per go (£2-£3 in most cases), but offer substantial prizes if you win. You're not short of gaming opportunities at Thorpe Park!
There are loads of opportunities to buy food and snacks at Thorpe Park. The main retail outlets include the BBQ & Bar, Amity Fish and Chips, Pizza Hut Buffet, KFC and Burger King. All get very busy at lunchtime (12 - 2pm). There are many other smaller food outlets at Thorpe - Donuts, Chicken Kebab House in Canada Creek, Sweet Shop Central in Calypso Quay and more. There are vending machines throughout the park, and again, on busier days smaller snack stalls are opened.
