During the course of a day there, guests can expect the attractions to try to suffocate them (G-Force), castrate them(Apocalypse), give them hypothermia (Stormforce 10) and finally bore them to death (Buffalo Mountain Coaster). As if this wasn't enough, guests aren't even allowed a bloody seat on Drayton's flagship coaster, [[Shockwave]]. Drayton Manor was until recently known for letting rides fall into disrepair, then building new rides on their spot. They are building a hotel for 2011 which conveniently will have it's grand opening on a day the park isn't open.

Drayton Manor is a strange theme park that lives in the shadows of Alton Towers, just outside of Tamworth in South Staffordshire, and is known to be home to some of the most masochistic rides in the United Kingdom such as Shockwave and G-Force.

The park is well known for the range of ghetto-era rides and their former cunning choice of leaving rides to rot before building a new ride on top, as well as their stunning idea to be surrounded by a car park with mismatching area themes. None of this however deters the General Public from visiting as it's all normal to their eyes.

Drayton prides itself in being a park with "firsts" such as having a Verkoma ride, a Maurer Söhne that hasn't committed homocide, an Intamin rapids that has, randomly placed sponsorships (i.e. Arriva) and a Intamin Teacups themed around beers and boobs.

The theme tune of Drayton Manor appears to be Jupiter by Gustav Holst, in an attempt to classy up the park for the Resort title much like Towers but oddly enough it seems to do the trick.
