What age to go to Thorpe Park Unsupervised

[louisea]

What age would you let your almost teens go to Thorpe Park on your own? My soon to be 13 year olds (3 weeks) want to go tomorrow with a friend and no parents.

I'm a bit concerned about there being no supervising adult in the vicinity (we are an hour's drive away) but they are adamant that they will be fine.

I would let them go off around the park on their own with a phone if I was there but feel uneasy about them being there solo.

i'm not so sure i think that 12 is a little young to go on the tube on their own but if you drop them off then i think that will be ok

My eldest went with two friends at 13, but friend's dad dropped them off and hung around in a cafe in the vicinity. So they went round all alone, but had someone there to take them home at the end of the day and on the end of a mobile phone if they got into any trouble. I was happier with a small group than a big one, as big groups make it harder to say no to something you don't want to do.

They had a whale of a time and nothing even minorly bad happened. I'd say yes.
