Drayton Manor Park

Gold Rush is open for the Christmas season which is cool. Dare i try a third visit this year to finally get a ride?

Does anyone know if it has temperature and wind restrictions (or more importantly what they are)?

It's the Midlands, all bets are off. They go to the pub at 12pm, I'm sorry. Wings crossed for you.

It was on 1 of the screens In the park.
Also I was very impressed with the event.

Guest services were asking for feedback on the event and I said it was the best Christmas event the looping group have put on but they miles off the Bryan’s as they had the fireworks at the end of the day and the ice rink.
 
Having been ourselves also.
Ice skating would be amazing to bring back.
The show in the theatre was poor this year..
The train ride was … meh… served a purpose but advertising it as a new feature was a far stretch.
Decorations were nice but looked a bit unfinished.

Needs a big end of the day event / show like last year.

As a midlander, I fixed that for you ;)

I am curious to know what sort of ride the park might be getting next year. I would have thought that ride hardware would be on site now, but then again, their new coaster did not open until July. So it wouldn't surprise me if we see nothing onsite until the park opens next year.

They don't seem to rush at Drayton Manor; they must all be in the pub!
