Correct, we do ask that you please give the appropriate source and credit for any images or other media you wish to share on TowersStreet.
But can I also kindly ask that we leave the moderation to the team, and to utilise the report function if you feel there is an issue. We can then deal with it appropriately (as was done in this case).
Thank you. Now back to Drayton Manor!

That’s been l
That’s been like that for years. The Bryan’s did the 2nd half of the ride in winter months of 2003/04 with the other half done the following closed season 04/05. They didn’t even finish painting the supports of the lift hill.
Well the day went well all told. Thor was down all day (advertised as such) and The Haunting lasted two cycles but everything else was open. Some things opened later but to be expected for a soft opening of sorts.
Operations were slow. But there was training and shadowing for every ride so again expected.
Park is looking tidy. Lots of little TLC projects.
Plenty of vloggers with vip fast pass so was good to see Sean (Tpww) using the normal queues all day. Respect for that.

Talking about Shawn was on the last train of the day on Gold Rush and Shawn was there with Brett and a few of his mates. We got to go round twice if we all shouted TTWW on YT.
Anyway was chatting to him about the museum and it’s looking good from the queue line
There was a lot of noise going on inside the pre show area. Shawn confirmed to me they gonna be showing a 25 min movie and him and Charlotte feature in it.
He confirmed that the pirate adventure building is the next big project for the park but promised Victoria Lynn that he won’t say anything to she announces something but did confirm what I already knew that the building is currently been stripped and keep a eye on the channel as he be doing a construction update around the summer time.

Well he didn’t say what was going to be replacing the pirate adventure. Even staff 2 weeks ago confirmed to me that work on the park’s next big project had started inside the building with its clearing.
That’s the mystery of Drayton as they don’t need to submit plans they can keep things under wrap in been in a building they could keep the theme under wraps to they theme the outside of the building.
It's an interesting one as I'm not sure how announcing a replacement for pirate adventure would constitute a 2 day late night event. It could be announced during the event but there must be more to it.
This central part of the park doesn't actually belong to any specific area, so refreshing the whole area alongside "pirate adventure reborn" to a pirate theme alongside the pirate ship and jolly buccaneer could be a cheap way of creating a "new" area (part of me feels like this used to be classed as a pirate area in the past).
After this it feels like the park probably need to decide what its doing with the zoo as it feels very outdated, even the entry sign looks like something from the 90s.
It would be great if the park release another long term plan like they did before for the next 5 years as the last one was pretty accurate.

Been a annual pass holder every time I been they looked to improve the park and the entrance again really is looking good nowReading all the latest updates I’m actually quite excited to visit next month.
See that? Excited! Now there’s a word I haven’t used in connection with AT in a while
Stormforce 10 had a lot of work done to it and been told it will be a continued project
Accelerator work has continued outside
Even the rapids having some paint testing
With the monthly Fireworks event they installed new speakers all around the lake and they sound great compared to what they used over the past 3 years
Troublesome Trucks still is missing. It’s not been used since the Christmas event
Not sure what they building back stage
They also installed a new fence by the storage area.
Good to see them to continue keeping the park looking fresh.
