We visited Drayton Manor Park yesterday especially to see the newly constructed Thomas Land.
My 3 year old loves Thomas and his little face when we walked in and saw all the characters and rides was a picture.
It was wonderful you really felt like you were in Sodor although the weather wasn't good it didn't seem to make a difference to anyone!
The staff operating the rides were really friendly especially the man who operated the Jeremy the Jet ride (although he told me he usually drives Thoma ...

I have a disabled wife. And we went onto the river rapids, the staff stopped the station platform so we could get on, and then helped us off at the other end. It was a good all round day. Staff fantastic, rides good even the dinosaur bit of the park that you have to pay 50p to get in for. Mind you I think in my heart of hearts it needs updating but the kids loved it. And thats the mina part. The restaurant at the end was top dog, and by far better then the other food venues.
It's a good famil ...

Rides were awful. Main ride added for 2007 - The Bounty! Actually its an old pirate ship ride - bad or what?
The staff don't want to help you. Embarrassing as I'm used to Universal Studios etc.

Drayton Manor Theme Park is an excellent place to go if you are looking for a nice day out that is filled with fun and enjoyment. The combination of smaller rides and extreme rides make it suitable for everyone that goes there.
The extreme rides:
There are many rides that are suitable for older children and adults such as Shockwave, G Force, Maelstrom and Apocalypse. The two large rollercoasters, Shockwave and G Force both have something different to make them special. Shockwave is a stand ...

Drayton Manor Family Theme Park - that it truly is.
I live in Warwickshire, about 20 minutes away from the park. That is one of the reasons why myself and others were first attracted to the park...it was close and, of coarse, looked good too.
I've been to the park twice before (in 2003 and 2005), but arrived just before midday and left by about 5:00pm. Therefore, I didn't really get much of a chance to explore the park. However, this time I went, I got a really good look at almost every ri ...

Drayton Manor is great for families, but also for small time thrill seekers. There are enough thrill rides and family rides for everyone to feel welcome. It is a great theme park! I love it! The big rides are so good. Also, the food is excellent.
G-Force plays music and visualisations while you're waiting for the ride, this makes you in the right mood for the ride, and it makes waiting a whole lot better. Great idea.

Go to Drayton Manor with an open mind. This is no Alton Towers, as it does not have the fast paced rides that they do, but it is a good all round family park, and it is something I feel they achieve very well.

It was my first visit to Drayton Manor this week, and it was the last day of the 'Off-Peak' season, and although I wasn't expecting it to be as good as Alton Towers, I still thought it would be better than it was!
The layout is pretty rubbish. It's a bit like it has been built on a car park (like at a visiting fairground).
It has some good rides though, and plenty for the little kids, but not so many rides for thrill seekers (about 5 or 6), and 3 of these were closed! So there was not much fo ...

When Drayton Manor opens there is an hour to look round the wonderful zoo, before trying out the rides. This is a great idea as I wouldn't have gone to the zoo had the rides been open from the beginning. I am really glad I went to the zoo.
I found the park very very clean and a friendly atmosphere, the park looked bright and cheerful without being over "corporate". Great mix of rides for children and adults as well. Good theming! Nice selection of food outlets nice to get away from the McDo ...

I have been many times to Drayton Manor, and even though the queues are often quite long the rides are worth it. I would honestly say to anyone who wants a day of fun for all the family Go to Drayton Manor!

Went to Drayton Manor on Friday 16th DSeptember, expecting it to be quiet due to school holidays being over and it was, no hassle on getting rides which was pleasing, and you would be annoyed if you had to queue for half an hour to get on some of them,
This park is for kids/teenagers if your are an adult like me go to Alton Towers or Thorpe Park don't waste your fuel coming here. The rides were good but a lack of them , we got there at 11.15 and 3 of the main rides were not open till 12, so don ...

Went to Drayton Manor on a rainy day in the summer holidays, when the park opened at 9, the zoo at 10 and the rides at 10.30, which wasn't the best way to start the day.
Food was expensive for the low quality it was. The kids refused the burger - that bad and the chips weren't great either
The decor of the park needs some touching up, bits of the decor on the rides had fallen into disrepair -not the actual ride - they were safe
The kid's world was pretty good for my kids 5 & 3 with th ...

When we arrived at Drayton Manor the first ride we went on was the Maelstrom, it was pretty cool but the queue was 15 minutes and the ride only lasts 50 seconds and makes you a little sick when you're facing the ground at the highest point but still very exciting - 6/10.
Next we went on Shockave, the queue was HUGE it took 30 minutes to get on it but this is GREAT, I loved every second of it. The ramp is great right at the end when you hear the last click and then suddenly you just go plumme ...

The first thrill at Drayton Manor came from the king of all stand up coasters the shockwave. As well as it being the only stand up roller coaster in Europe it is the only one to contain a zero g roll. There are not many rides here but there are loads to come. My top three rides are shockwave, storm force 10 and the cyclone enterprise.
