EC! Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 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.

Coaster Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 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...

Worthy9992 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste193 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 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. ste193 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk30 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Through put low 600 ph that will be lower because health and safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 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. Fred, Inferno, Luke_A and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 And will still be a higher pph than G-Force... ste193 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 A second train for G-Force would be nice! dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 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.

Worthy9992 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 More that likely go in that space where black revolver used to stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 yeah that's what I thought, as I can't see any other space around that area something could go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 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! ste193 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Posted to their Twitter: "New attraction teaser- stomach-churning, g-forces, loops, dives, banks, weightlessness. Who is excited? " Sounds promising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 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.

Benin Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hope so, Air Races are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 YAY it better be an air race! Air Races are AMAZING! If they get one I might just love drayton more than thorpe haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 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! OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
