    Drayton Manor Park

    Drayton retweeted this picture of the Shockwave station which looks quite neat: And Theme Parks Vision Art also seem to have a video which includes views of some of the work in progress:

    Drayton Manor Park

    From the pictures on the website it looks like there might be two new rides. They have one picture each for Stormforce 10, Rapids, Shockwave, Maelstrom, and Air Race, and then 2 coming soon slates. If this is right, I guess the Wave Swinger is one, but do we have any idea about the other?

    Drayton Manor Park

    DM is now open for the main season, but out of their thrill rides, Apocalypse, G-Force, Pandemonium, Shockwave, and Stomforce 10 are apparently all still closed for maintenance! https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/rides-and-attractions/rides?filter=24 I'd be a bit annoyed if I was there with that...

    Thanks for these. Do you know if they provide a PDF of the detailed park map you get in person?

    Drayton Manor Park

    Not sure if this has been posted, but it looks like they are continuing to focus on Thomas Land for 2017: https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/coming-soon

    PortAventura: General Discussion

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately with the kids in school now it had to be during school holidays, so I'm expecting it to be busy :( I doubt the kids will manage full days though so I expect we will do a couple of hours in the mornings, and then again towards the end of the day, which...

    PortAventura: General Discussion

    This is very useful, thanks siralgenon. Do you know what the price is for the hotel express pass? Is it cheaper for kids who can't go on some of these rides? We've got a week booked at the El Paso hotel for the end of August, and I'm wondering if this is something I'll need to budget for...

    Drayton Manor Park

    I also think it's a bit off saying this is now open when half of the enclosures don't yet have any animals in them. I agree. I would love to know what is going on with Pirate Adventure. It's been closed for so long now, but given they've removed all the signage for it, I can't see it coming...

    Drayton Manor Park

    We got a promotional brochure through the door recently, and as well as the Tamarin Trail addition to the zoo (which opens tomorrow) they are also adding a high ropes course called Vertigo this Summer. This is going between the Buffalo and Entrance 2, and will apparently provide good views over...

    Park Maps

    Does anyone have a copy of the back of the map they can share? I'm not sure I'll get to visit any time soon, and Towers only seem to put the front side on their website.

    Digipass Photo Pass

    We got the digipass at legoland last year and it was around £20 or £30 for two days, so I guess £40/£50 for a year is a pretty good deal. The way it works isn't very good though. You get a receipt from the photo desk with a long 12 character (I think) code for every picture. You need to make...

    Drayton Manor Park

    A couple of interesting things from their twitter feed: Pirate Adventure wont be open for the start of the season due to maintenance: https://twitter.com/Draytonmanor/status/701503559020507140 Hopefully this means it'll be open later in the year though. (Or maybe I'm just being optimistic!)...

    Drayton Manor Park

    That’s really interesting that they made a loss for 2014, and I think confirms that they wont be adding a big coaster any time soon. In 2013 they added the Winston ride to Thomas Land, and made a profit of £1.2 million (according to that riderater article). In 2014 they added a thrill ride (Air...

    Drayton Manor Park

    Personally I think Drayton's flat ride collection is pretty good. Maelstrom, Air Race and Apocalypse are all great. In addition they've got Pandemonium, the pirate ship, Drunken Barrels, Jolly Buccaneer, Big Wheel, etc Does anyone know if they are adding any new rides this year? I seem to...

    1986 Park Guide Map & Quiz

    Great pictures, thanks for sharing! I love looking at park maps and seeing how they have changed. I'm currently in the process of putting my collection online at www.tpmdb.com, and was wondering whether you would be willing to let me include the map picture (credited to you as the source) on my...
