About Storm Surge

Storm Surge at Thorpe Park is a 2009 Intamin water raft ride - eight riders per circular boat travelling down rapids, then up a vertical lift and down a 65-foot spiral splashdown. Splashes are heavy and spread unpredictably, so almost everyone gets wet to some degree. Total ride duration around 4 minutes.

Like Tidal Wave, Storm Surge is most popular on hot days and queues can exceed 45 minutes in midsummer. The throughput is decent so waits clear faster than they look. Storm Surge is closed below 12 degrees Celsius - check the live status when planning a cooler-weather visit.

Storm Surge has averaged about 28 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 17:00 and quietest around 20:00. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 97% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Wednesdays and busiest on Sundays.
