Thorpe Park is turning GCSE results day into an A-grade celebration, with the first 25 students through the gates on Thursday, 21 August receiving free entry and Coaster Fastrack.
Come this Thursday, the brave GCSE exam takers of Britain will learn their fate. Will they be among the cheerful crew jumping for joy at their hard-earned top marks, or will their envelope contain disappointing news?
Whichever the case, there’s an easy way to turn the day around. Class of ’25 school leavers are invited to trade textbooks for thrills and celebrate the end of exams at Thorpe Park. It comes as Spanish islands fear Brits won’t return as tourists are dealt another blow.

A spokesperson for Thorpe Park said: “No matter what your results say, you’ve put in the hard work, and that deserves a celebration. We’re here to recognise your effort, applaud your achievements, and give you the ultimate day out to reward yourself in style.”
