To get to Thorpe park, get off at Staines train station and there is a Thorpe Park bus service from there. The best way to get to Staines from Benfleet is to go to West Ham, then take the underground to London Waterloo and you can go straight to Staines from there. However, there is construction work on the underground this weekend, which might affect your journey.

Thorpe Park website says that Staines is the nearest station. From benfleet national rail suggests Benfleet-westham westham - waterloo
waterloo-staines with the jouney taking two hours. (I used next saturday to do the search) Then you need to take a bus so the whole thing will be pretty long.

As for directions i suggest you use use multimaps or google to get directions. The address is THORPE PARK
Staines Road
Chertsey
Surrey
KT16 8PN

I'm pretty sure the above poster has answered your question, but for future reference, and to make sure that you get the correct information (some on here would get it wrong), you're always best to check with the train companies and the website of the place you're going. In this case, Thorpe Park. Links below to the relevant pages if you want to double-check for yourself.

It's always woth checking the train websites, because they often have offers available, as per the third link below
