The social media team at Drayton are going all out to try to win Gold this year at the theme park awards.

Whilst looking cheap, it's a bit of fun. Would sooner that then nothing

Wasn't X meant to be a rave on a rollercoaster? What about Mir's lift hill? I'm not sure I believe their world first claim.

Again. It's tongue in cheek. Probably a dig at AT

Whoever did this should get the sack, awful, tacky and stupid. I hope it isn't real.

This still isn't as bad as 4 tacky and stupid retro squad rides

Shame it won’t be dark enough to the end of the event in August to see them.

I mean the glow products.
The hat looks nice but I wouldn’t buy the t shirt.

Sorry, I thought you said squid rides…

Get one of those in Mutiny Bay!

No, have that but themed to a Nemesis baby with it's tentacles!

YES!

A Gerst Polyp would be a great fit for Drayton. Thrilling enough but not too much.

That was my favourite flat ride of the 90’s was gutted it was removed for the boring mini balloons.

These are a pretty rare sight these days, I remember pleasure each having one as well. Do they still even make these? Drayton is well catered for with flats but I wouldn't be against something similar.

Gerstlauer still make them. Their installation at Asterix is the only one I've ridden, it's fun.

I remember the Drayton one to be pretty wild, they're really sweet rides. The American Adventure one really limped along in its final years but I think it's still operating somewhere abroad now.

I think Drayton thought of upgrading their octopus with the Sombrero but it was rubbish.
The only 1 in the uk I know of is at West Midlands Safari Park.
