THEME park enthusiasts need to take advantage of this two-for-one offer over the summer holidays.
Thrill-seekers wanting to spend their break on adrenaline-pumping rides can visit two theme parks for the price of one, or get a three-month pass to use throughout July and August on unlimited rides and attractions.

The new summer offer has been launched by Merlin Entertainments across four of the UK's top theme parks - Alton Towers, Legoland Windsor, Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park.
If you book your theme park trip between July 21, 2025, and August 17, 2025, you can visit two parks for the price of one.
The tickets are called Twice the Fun and have savings of at least £29 per person.
It is the perfect way to entertain kids during the six-week-long summer holidays.
To bag the deal, make sure to select a 'Twice the Fun' ticket at any of the four park's websites which cost from £32.
The offer can either be used at the same park, or you can mix and match.
Dates are flexible, too, and visitors can redeem their second visit at any point before September 30, 2025.
To claim the second theme park visit you'll still need to pre-book your visit using your second 'free' ticket which will have a barcode that can be used to reserve your slot at the park.
For anyone who wants to go back to the theme park more than twice this summer, you might be interested in the three-month pass.

This offer applies to the same four parks - Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Chessington, and LEGOLAND Windsor.
Tickets cost £59 per person and the offer allows unlimited access to rides, shows, and attractions during the summer.
The main difference with this pass is that it's for one park only - you can't mix and match.
Once chosen, you can use it in that particular park whenever you like during the selected three-month period.
If you have trouble deciding which park to visit, one Sun writer headed to Alton Towers to try out the thrilling Nemesis Reborn rollercoaster.
He also checked out the Rita ride which goes from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds as well as the more chilled out Gangsta Granny ride and Runaway Mine Train.

There are gentler rides, or the Croc Drop which plunges 82 feet. And of course it's where you'll find the world's only Jumanji coaster which flips you upside down.
At Legoland, there's a Minifigure Speedway as well as the Lego-themed indoor golf experience.
Car enthusiasts can head over to Lego Ferrari Build and Race, an interactive attraction that sees guests create their own Ferrari race car.
One fan of Thorpe Park has been going for 22 years and maintains it's even better now that she's an adult.
She admits that Colossus is still just as terrifying, and there are plenty of other scary rides too like Nemesis, Stealth, Saw: The Ride and The Swarm.
