If she is fine then I would go there as you will spend more time in the park than the car. For something completely different can I suggest digger land near Rochester?

It will do fine, got a new ride called swarm, saw is pretty scary and stealth will satisfy the speed freak and colossus... just hang on to your car keys and pocket change was Elec blue + owner now use of a mini cooper S 25y independent Mortgage-Financial adviser

I haven't been for around 4 years, but when I did go I remember thinking "Wow, this place has really changed and is up there with Alton Towers", which I had considered the Daddy up until that point.
