Drayton Manor Park

It should go up quicker than Hyperia as they won't be dealing with more extreme heights. Wonder where the station building will be.

Finally. Hopefully they can claw some lost time back.

I think they will try to get as much done between now and the 9th Feb and then do more ground work and finish it off from the 21st feb to 23rd March. Then they can work on the station building and electrical work ready for testing.
I noticed from a drone video shockwave repaint not started yet unless they just gonna clean it.

The haunting has been taken off Drayton's website? Anyone got any ideas why this might be?

I had thought haunting unchained was the rides send off before a proper retheme, will be interesting what changes will be coming to it

Interestingly the same thing has happened for Sheriff Showdown.
Could this be part of a bigger retheme for the new area opening along side the new coaster?

They'll probably just get new names and skins, I wouldn't imagine full scare rethemes or we'd have probably heard about it already.

Maybe they'll have more than 2 cars on Sherrifs showdown

It only needs two, the rides that short

 

[Funcone]

Maybe they'll bring it up to date, and you'll have to help Donald Trump start a revolution.

I hear that the 4D Cinema has also closed and will be rethemed.

Drunken Barrels was closed shortly before the season's end, but I think that was mostly to give more access to the construction site.

We've seen that frontages are being repainted and rethemed, including Sheriff's Showdown and Drunken Barrels. The Haunting is in the same area, so it would make sense if it got a little bit more attention.

 

[Maelstrom]

You can see they are working on rethemeing the front of the 4D Cinema in the construction photos posted the other day.

Hopefully in 2025 they theme accelerator to fit into the theme, there has been talk they plan to move the Flying Dutchman and possibly a new flat ride on that location.which would make sense for a 2025 addition.

The 4D cinema has already been renamed as the Drayton Theatre

Of course! I'm not sure how I'd forgotten. Thank you for that. I can't find it on the site though?

Sober barrels maybe? Then again it doesn't quite have the same ring to it...

 

[DistortAMG]

I have no photos but this thing appears to be flying up quite quickly now. I may end up eating the words I said previously. This could perhaps open earlier than I originally guessed.

Looks like some great profiling on that track. It's amazing how quickly this is going up, really looking forward to riding this, hope the parks starts marketing it soon to build up the hype.
