  • A new rollercoaster has opened at Drayton Manor and we headed down to check out the press event as part of a package that was included in a Drayton Manor Hotel overnight stay. Here’s my honest thoughts on this brand new Intamin Lift and Launch coaster at Drayton Manor Resort!
    SUBSCRIBE to ‪@AdventureTimesUK‬
    Overall the ride is surprisingly better than I was expecting and whilst it’s a good family coaster I feel as though it’s good for Drayton and Drayton only. Frontier Falls is a lovely area and this ride compliments the area wonderfully.

    For reasons no one will give a crap about, I’m in Morecambe tonight and I had a wander around the old Frontierland site (still derelict after 20 years) with a few hints of log flume and wooden coaster. Watching this video, I’m definitely getting Frontierland vibes! 😮 Great video!

    The two reasons I went to Drayton have gone now (Apocalypse & Standup Shockwave) so it's not really on my visit list. I know they are aiming at families but this looks very tame, should have got a next gen Vekoma. I think kids can handle something a bit more thrilling these days from the amount I see getting on full size coasters.

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  Місяць тому

      Yeah... sadly Drayton is going backwards in terms of a market that appeals to us. if you've got a family it's wonderful but now there's really no reason to visit.. we've all seen the 5 year plan, we know what's coming and it's nothing worth me personally visiting for now but that's not taking away from the fact that it's a wonderful park it's just a park I now feel too old for with zero thrill rides of notes worth visiting for

      @LiftHillsandThrills  Місяць тому

      We thought the same... it doesn't compare to Paultons... like it's better than I was expecting but still miles behind the immersion of Tornado Springs. It's crazy to me how a Wild West area constructed at a park like Sundown Adventureland is still considerably better, more immersive and more highly themed than this modern reskin. Don't get me wrong it's a great area but it's a movie set area... it feels temporary whereas Sundown's is very much an immersive area as opposed to looking like a set.
