Drayton Manor Park

I cannot get any closer I am too busy. But after seeing Robs post I walked up Tamworth Castle battlements to have a look. It appears they are getting ready to remove the next piece. It will be gone today or tomorrow.

Apologies for the crap photo. It was taken seconds ago though..

Was it the sign that was in the entrance arch?

He calls his shed the British Theme Park Museum?

Or is he referring to something else?

Yes. He intends to open it as an attraction of sorts eventually.
EDIT: Sorry, I should have clarified… I think his shed is part of what will be the British Theme Park Museum.

Cheers mate.

I think the whole lot is pretty interesting to be fair.



So next year we should be seeing a replacement vehicle on an existing ride.....Shockwave??

Then replacement vehicles on a different ride for 2024.

Interesting.

Yeah it’s gotta be Shockwave. Buffalo has just had a “new” train, and Accelerator/Trucks don’t exactly need one. Will this be the long-talked about sit down train? Who knows.

The replacement vehicle next year is likely to be the rumoured sit down train for Shockwave yes.

If they put sit down cars on Shockwave I will scream lol.

The only thing I see in there that "could" mean the Pirate Adventure building is the replacement ride for 2024. However, I very much doubt they would do a project of that size the same year they add a coaster.

It’s worth noting that the planning documents attached here are from August 2021, so they aren’t exactly fresh. Things have probably changed since then. For example, the document doesn’t state anything about the removal of Apocalypse…

That is where the new coaster is going

 

[DistortAMG]

Good point indeed. But it doesn't go as far back as 2022, the year the ride is being removed. It also mentioned a coaster, the Apocolypse site is one of the few sites a coaster can go.

It does mention 2022 further up as Vikings is on it I think.

I wonder what ride they are moving in 2025 and to where?
