Thorpe Park in the early 1980s, with the park’s road train making its way beside the lake, styled to resemble a miniature traction engine with open-sided passenger trailers behind. The train is crowded with families, while children gather around a green mascot character and staff in costume nearby, giving the whole scene the feel of a busy summer day at the park. Particularly striking is the mix of visitors, clothing and characters, from nuns and families with pushchairs to children in shorts and bright summer outfits, all adding to the atmosphere of Thorpe Park in its earlier family-orientated years. It is a lively record of the park before its later thrill-ride transformation, showing one of the gentler transport and entertainment features that once formed part of a day out there.
