The listed minimums
Thorpe Park’s headline line-up in this directory is a 140 cm park with one important exception: Hyperia, the 2024 Mack hyper, listed at 130 cm. Stealth, The Swarm, SAW - The Ride, Nemesis Inferno, Colossus are listed at 140 cm.
If someone in the group is 135 cm, they may be able to ride Hyperia and still be turned away from Stealth, The Swarm, Colossus, SAW and Nemesis Inferno. Plan the split in advance rather than at the Stealth gate.

What that means on the island
Thorpe Park is compact. The height problem is not walking, it is that the famous rides cluster in the same band. A mixed group cannot “do the other side of the park” the way they can at Alton Towers, where Wicker Man and TH13TEEN sit at 120 cm.
If the group is mixed around 130–140 cm, Hyperia is the shared coaster. Everything else on this list is a split. Agree a meeting point before Stealth’s queue, because that launch platform is not a place to improvise.
- Shared if you meet 130 cm: Hyperia.
- 140 cm only: Stealth, The Swarm, SAW - The Ride, Nemesis Inferno, Colossus.
- Stealth is a launch. SAW is a horror coaster with a drop and inversions. Colossus is ten inversions. None of those are “the gentle one”.
Confirm on the day, especially around Hyperia
Hyperia is new enough that operator rules, queue systems and temporary restrictions have moved since 2024. The 130 cm figure on this site is the listed minimum we hold, not a guarantee at the entrance. If a rider is close to any of these numbers, have a non-coaster fallback on the island rather than arguing with the measure.
