I wonder if that’s the train that’s been causing the problems. Intamin maybe coming to look at the train or could be going back as wouldn’t they have just got it back into the maintenance shed.

I could see it not being on track is that it hasn't been on the track since the valley and has been moved to be put back on track (after presumably performing detailed inspections)

if it was taken off track I would find that very odd and I could only see it as they are not planning on running it for a while

In industry, "sending it back" isn't really a thing, unless it is a mass manufactured part (which coasters are not) normally the manufacture would look at it onsite (or your engineering team)

Looks as if the 4th car from the train is missing so could possibly be something with that, complete speculation though. I do still find it odd that it was the same train stalling each time and now the 4th car is missing.

(Edit) just saw a different angle and all the cars are there! looks like im due a trip to specsavers in the morning.

The looping group sales must be poor as now they offering buy 1 Drayton Manor ticket and get a West Midlands Safari park for free.
Now that isn’t a bad price if it includes the rides at the Safari park.

Yes, good offer and it does include the rides.
Got to be used by early august, to allow for the late holidays trade.

Doesn’t mean ticket sales have been particular poor but actually a way to increase guest spend and get them to do two of their attractions rather than one. It’s at draytons gate price of £45 The online price for Drayton is £27.50 which is what most people are now paying. So they get £17.50 more from each guest that chooses this ticket plus the extra in park spending they then spend at WMSP.

Also helps drive guests to the parks in ten first few weeks of the school hols when traditionally the parks are quieter than the final 3 weeks which tend to be busier.

Does anyone know what time they open the turnstiles at Drayton Manor?

It says open at 10:30am but wondering if it’s like others where they let you in earlier but the rides don’t open until 10:30am.
