Answer 1

I've just come back from Thorpe Park today, been loads, and was on holiday last week in the Peak District and we went to Alton Towers 4 times! (Me and my boyfriend have the Merlin Annual pass). Alton Towers is the biggest and has the best rides. Thorpe Park still has some biggies though like Stealth, Collussus and Nemesis Inferno, which is nothing compared to Nemesis at Alton Towers! I haven't been to blackpool for years but from what I know it's gotten really good. Never been to Drayton Manor but that looks good too. I've not been to westmidlands but Longleat is a great day out, as well as all of the animals there's the whole estate to look around too including mazes and stuff. Just to warn you though all the theme parks are getting pretty busy now, expect half hour queues or more on the big rides, and obviously when schools break up it will be mega busy!
