Well National Rail gives the following route suggestion:
Ockendon dep 07:35
West Ham arr 07:56
West Ham dep 07:56
Underground
London Waterloo arr 08:25
London Waterloo dep 08:45
Staines arr 09:16
Which would get you to the park for just before 10am (opening time) once you include shuttle bus time and stuff at the other end.
However there may be some other routes and stuff, use
www.nationalrail.co.uk journey planner for them. :)
