Alternative to Euro Disney

I was considering going to Euro Disney with my lad this summer, but due to a mix-up it may not happen. Therefore i am trying to think of an equally as fun alternative. Are there any, i'm struggling. Any help is much appreciated.

    Legoland Windsor, Thorpe Park, Chessington - Find a nice hotel on the outskirts of London and it will be manageable to do one theme park per day and/or combine it with a trip into London.

    As jalapee has suggested, Alton Towers - Theme Park, Waterpark and onsite hotel. Also from Alton Towers you are not too far away from Drayton Manor.
