Drayton Manor Park

At this point it's clear that Drayton Manor must be built on an ancient Indian burial ground.
Even found a picture of one of them from back in the day.

Either that, or they’ve realised that Pandemonium isn’t a good ride at all.
Had a ride on it back in October and it was painful on the shoulders so yh, i'm glad i may have got a final ride but it seems a bit bizarre to remove it especially after it's very popular with the GP and it had a refurbishment back in 2018! If it does however, you've got a gap to fill and taking out Test Track also may just help with a new ride potentially!
 
I think it’s gonna be a big year for Drayton Manor in 2021. With them owning parks all across Europe they could be thinking of moving some rides even from
Pleasure wood Hills or West Midlands Safari Park.
A billionaire company called Mubadala Capital https://www.mubadala.com/en/what-we-do/capital Put Money into the Looping group so you could be seeing big investment into Drayton Manor over the next 5 years.
 
I admire everybody's optimism.

Expect this will be yet another cut to the ride line-up as a result of budget cuts.

Maelstrom, Poccers and Shockwave don't have long left.
Somewhere on the Talbot board, somebody posted a advert placed by Alton Towers in Worlds Fair in 1992 announcing the sale of half-a-dozen rides. Obviously as we all know that was the beginning of the end for that park.

(I'm not saying that Looping Group are planning that sort of investment, but at least give them a chance to do their thing.)
