TTP Review:

Chief Ranger's Carousel is a traditional fairground carousel, featuring horses, animals - and even a Loggers Leap boat in which you can ride. Riders rotate slowly for a few minutes, going up and down if on a horse. Chief Ranger's Carousel would keep a youngster happy for 5 minutes, and that is what it's designed to do.

Carousel is not badly designed, tired, or flawed as a ride - it's just unexciting. If Thorpe Park decided to demolish Chief Ranger's Carousel tomorrow, not many people would complain about it. However, if you're one of Thorpe's younger guests, then give Chief Ranger's Carousel a go.

Positives:

• A well maintained ride, despite its age.
• One of the few remaining rides containing the Thorpe Park Rangers!

Negatives:

• If you're over 5 years old, it's boring.
