What theme park did Princess Diana go to?

In the early 1990's Thorpe Park received the Royal seal of approval when Princess Diana and the young Princes, William and Harry, visited the park three years in a row. They visited during the Easter holidays in 1991, 1992 and 1993.



Princess Diana was famously photographed visiting Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, in April 1993. In a deliberate move to give Prince William and Prince Prince Harry a "normal" childhood experience, she famously declined the "VIP" treatment, insisting on standing in the regular queues with other members of the public. The images of the Princess of Wales and the two young princes soaking wet on the "Log Flue" (Logger’s Leap) became some of the most iconic and humanizing photos of her later years. She also visited Walt Disney World in Florida with the boys in August 1993, staying at the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. During that trip, they were seen enjoying rides like Splash Mountain and Space Mountain. Her choice to visit these parks, rather than more formal royal venues, was seen as a key part of her "People's Princess" persona, showing her dedication to providing her sons with the same simple joys that other children around the world enjoyed.
