Thorpe Park
Closed
Detonator is a high-adrenaline drop tower at Thorpe Park that lifts you high above the park before releasing you into a rapid plummet back toward the ground. The experience is all about suspense and surprise, with riders seated in an open ring that slowly climbs, offering sweeping views and a growing sense of anticipation. At the top, there’s only a brief pause before the sudden drop delivers a powerful stomach-flipping sensation. It’s a short but intense thrill that’s perfect for adrenaline fans looking to break up coasters with a different kind of rush.
