Flamingo land about 30/40 mile away.
Growing up it was towers we used to go 3/4 times a week and sneak in, ( I’m told to this day, the hole in the fence is still there and accessible ) if we could get there we were gone.

- bad management aka misappropriation of funds… by both derby & Notts councils. Akin to the Nottingham castle debacle

Depends what you class as a 'theme park'
I have one local wicksteed that has a mini roller coaster, big wheel, waterside etc etc
Then it would be twin lakes or gullivers land.
But if you're talking big theme park would be Drayton Manor

I'm unsure as to whether Wicksteed Park counts too |

Lowering the tone on a theme park thread, I'm disappointed in you Joe, Brucey I expect it from but not from you   |

"Define theme park, we’ve some sketchy shit up in Aberdeen but I’m not sure it’s considered a theme park as such "
Codonas! 
I'm not counting M&Ds so probably Flamingo Land is the closest real one.  Love a rollercoaster. |

"I’ve never been to a Theme Park. I don’t even know where (or if) they are around here 
What?!?
I mean I get what you're saying but....WHAT?!"
I didn’t grow up here and they didn’t have them where I was. Theme parks are only something I think about when someone mentions them up, it would never occur to me to go to one. |

I am from the UK and I've only been once or twice. I've never enjoyed theme parks really, with the sole exception of Camelot, which no longer exists. I can't get on most rides anymore anyway. Despite this, places like Blackpool Pleasure Beach charge full price for me if I don't go on any rides! Errrrrr nope. |
