With the talk about Sooty been filmed at Brean theme park does anyone else remember when Brum filmed an episode at Drayton Manor?

I'm right in thinking there is nothing new planned for this year is there, and there was nothing new last year?

"New for 2025" was the Drayton Manor Park & Zoo Museum, previously the Falls Theatre / Drayton Theatre / Thomas & Friends 4D Cinema.
It has been suggested that the Drayton Manor Park & Zoo Museum will revert to the Falls Theatre and will house a new 4D film, for 2026.

I wonder what the big surprise reveal will be at Easter.
There’s rumours that the cafe in frontier falls will also open as part of the Haunting.

No, all Haunting needs is the mad house refurbing. The rest is good as long as effects work

I believe it was, last year on the Long Term Plan, there was supposed to be a ride relocation and a new flat ride which never came in the end which was speculated to be a Frontier Falls Phase 2.

I’ve removed a number of posts related to ride accidents to the dedicated Ride/Park accidents topic.
While reference to any (hopefully rare) current, recent incidents in our dedicated park topics is fine, if you’d like to have more extended, detailed discussion about past accidents please continue discussion in the dedicated thread. We have a large and varied member base on the forum, and discussion in such detail is not for everyone. Locating the heavy talk in one place helps people avoid it if they wish to. Thanks

Fair enough to the first point (I think Merlin passes are the same), but the second seems unfair, as it may catch people out who buy it as a gift etc.
