January 4, 201411 yr comment_174115 Are we getting a Air Race then next year?! Or is this just a rumour ?
January 4, 201411 yr comment_174119 Posted on their Facebook page: "There will be something new in Thomas Land and all will be revealed soon"
January 4, 201411 yr comment_174120 Posted on their Facebook page: "There will be something new in Thomas Land and all will be revealed soon" I thought Thomas land wouldn't need anymore attraction but obviously I was wrong.
January 4, 201411 yr comment_174121 I thought Thomas land wouldn't need anymore attraction but obviously I was wrong. Agreed, they should be investing in a different area now! Thomas Land had two new rides last year...
January 4, 201411 yr comment_174125 problem is I'll still visit anyway for the sake of it for the good/fun rides they got... but damn they seriously need something new in the thrill department! although it appears they have struck gold with the thomas franchise and the younger family market though - which is a shame for us thrill seekers - maybe having such great years though means they are saving up for something big? as they don't have the sort of money just to invest in something multi million every few years! we'll see...
January 4, 201411 yr comment_174131 They were meant to get family friendly launch coaster over the lake it's look really good planning wise but after talking to one of the managers during a trip they had to put it on ice for now as I can not remember why it was although they are trying to buy more land and he has planes for a woody and a 100% woody not a hybrid although I'm not sure when there building it there both in there 10 year plan so hopefully sooner then later
January 14, 201411 yr comment_175030 Rumours are being circulated that drayton manor are planning to open a family thrilling ride in the are of shockwave, g-force and maelstrom http://www.themeparks-uk.com/drayton-manor-guide/whats-new/
January 14, 201411 yr comment_175032 I heard somewhere it was another thomasland ride.... but this sounds better - and promising could this be round the back of gforce where black revolver used to be... as can't think of any other space around.
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175045 I've heard it could well be a Zamperla Air Race... I hope so, would actually mean Drayton have a good varied selection of thrill rides if nothing else...
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175049 Through put low 600 ph that will be lower because health and safety
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175050 Through put low 600 ph that will be lower because of poor operations and nothing to do with health and safety. Got that for you.
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175075 Drayton manor have just posted on their Facebook about exciting news to be released soon....
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175077 Drayton manor have just posted on their Facebook about exciting news to be released soon.... Probably something for Thomasland again, wouldn't exactly surprise me tbh
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175079 As posted on previous page, there are rumours it could be a new family thrilling flat ride located in the action park area by shockwave and gforce - possibly a zamperla air race.
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175080 More that likely go in that space where black revolver used to stand
January 15, 201411 yr comment_175081 yeah that's what I thought, as I can't see any other space around that area something could go...
January 16, 201411 yr comment_175136 DOUBLE POST... Drayton Manor now posting the obvious 'Yes, we're getting a new attraction! But what type? Tell us what kind of ride you would like to see here at the park!' Probably doesn't make any difference as they already know what they're getting, unless this could be for help with future investments... although we haven't seen a thrilling one in countless years!
January 17, 201411 yr comment_175186 Posted to their Twitter: "New attraction teaser- stomach-churning, g-forces, loops, dives, banks, weightlessness. Who is excited? " Sounds promising!
January 17, 201411 yr comment_175187 Posted to their Twitter: "New attraction teaser- stomach-churning, g-forces, loops, dives, banks, weightlessness. Who is excited? " Sounds promising! I honestly think this will be an Air Race. EDIT: from their website " Air Race takes riders are taken on an amazing journey which replicates the experiences and sensations of acrobatic aeroplane flight With banks, loops, dives, and weightlessness, that will test even the most experienced thrill seekers" I don't believe, I know this is an air race now, they have essentially copy and pasted that tweet from zamperla's website but they tweaked it slightly.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_175224 YAY it better be an air race! Air Races are AMAZING! If they get one I might just love drayton more than thorpe haha
January 18, 201411 yr comment_175229 And if you want any more confirmation, Drayton just posted this: We think our new arrival will test even the most experienced thrill seekers! #draytonmanor #summer2014 Lines up perfectly with what EC posted earlier. Hopefully this'll be open for my visit this summer!
