Thorpe Park has held, and still continues to hold, a number of records for its rides. These include:

  • Colossus was the world's first (and until recently, only) roller coaster to feature 10 inversions.
  • Stealth is Europe's fastest launched roller coaster. In 2007 Stealth will lose the speed record to PortAventura's new rollercoster, "Furious Baco".
  • X:\ No Way Out is the world's only backwards in-the-dark roller coaster also known as "blackwards".
  • Nemesis Inferno holds the record for the longest pre-lift hill section of any B&M inverted coaster and is also the only ride of its type to feature inter-locking corkscrews.
  • Loggers Leap is the tallest log flume in the UK.
  • Rush is the world's first S&S Giant Speed Swing.
  • Slammer is the first Sky Swat in Europe
