Went to Alton towers today, longest we waited was 10 mins for Rita. Managed to get on pretty much everything twice!
Glad you had fun!
I love ur videos right now I’m doing work while watching u Because of how amazing u are!
Agreed!
Great vlog as always 😊, cant believe how quiet it is! hope you guys have fun on your 15day euro trip 😊🎢🎡🎠
Nice and quiet!
That’s a very nice blog and I love it! I’m going this magical Christmas in December so can’t wait to go back there!
It’s a fantastic event!
My childhood Theme Park! Will always have a place in my heart for Drayton Manor. Back when my summer holidays consisted of a trip to Drayton Manor with the Summer School, Alton Towers with the family and American Adventure with family and friends (before it closed)
Awesome blog! I can’t wait to come back to the uk from Australia and go on all my favourite childhood rides! Devastated to hear that they got rid of G-Force though, amazing memories
I went to Drayton mid August and waited an hour for Maelstrom and an hour for Accelerator but I'm glad Drayton are getting lots of guests back in the park! :)
I went to Alton Towers yesterday with my school and the longest we waited was 10 minutes for the Smiler. Great vlog as usual! 👍
Apocalypse is such a fabulous ride! I couldn’t imagine the park without it. When I think Drayton Manor, I think Apocalypse.
It is indeed
Going hear end of October during the week… hoping it’s not to busy… Carnt wait.. keep up the vids :)
I remember the Thomas character themes when I was little as I sang Toby’s song on this. Very good about fireworks at Drayton Manor. Anyway, make sure you and Shawn get out there and keep on riding. 😊
Was There on Monday, literally everything was walk-on. You love to see it. Sorry to have missed u!
Originally watched your last video here before booking and can’t believe it looks like we might have been on the same day! Class video mate keep it up 👍
Thanks so much brilliant video, im so glad we saw this, i just booked a trip to drayton manor then gullivers matlock with the kids👍
Hi shawn very enjoyable vlog never been to Drayton Manor. It's a bit far for me I'm in Buckinghamshire. I'm really looking forward to your and Charlotte's road trip . Thankyou for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Looking great today! I'm off to Alton Towers on my own next weds. Can't wait for some walk ons.
Have fun
@@Jason-Clark235 thank you. Checking queue times today, 5 mins for smiler most of the day!!!
@@CatsnCoasters yeah it’s the week i checked the queue times yesterday for no reason and most the riddles were 5-10 min queue
I'm going on Friday do you think the queues will be big then?
@@cpphotography5691 Fridays are always slightly busier, depends on weather. You'll still be able to get on all major rides.
Great vlog as always, love your attention to detail, I live 5 mins from Drayton so I’ll be sure to visit!
Great Vlog as always Shawn
Thanks!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide you're welcome, one question. Are you fine with what I comment on your videos? Reason I'm asking is that I was just wondering if you're getting bored of what I comment on them. I'm just curious that's all, I obviously still love your videos, it's just I'm wondering if you would like me to comment something different or not
Absolutely love this park. Dont particularly miss g force lol but such a brilliant park, just like pleasurewood hills
Thanks for another great vlog! 😊I work school hours/dates so I feel sad I won't be able to experience parks this quiet!
Saying that, parks are pretty quiet when it's raining too! 🙈
Thanks for watching. I do love a good quiet day for re-rides!
I’m going Alton Towers on Friday for the first time since a year 9 school trip back in July 2008.
Absolutely love the new area👹
what a great and amazing vlog shawn
Thanks!
I've never actually ever been to Drayton Manor, it looks like such a fun park with so many different fun attractions including the zoo. However as for you Shawn I love watching your blogs with your epic cheesy cheeky jokes, we both share a very witty funny sense of humour as I can relate with you to most of the things that are funny on your blogs.
i loved this, calm and so quiet, so empty loved it
It was indeed
I think a Gravity Group family wooden coaster would fit very well in this park, something along the lines of Kentucky Flyer at Kentucky Kingdom or Wood Express at Parc Saint Paul. It would fit well in the park's family market but also would please coaster enthusiasts with the fun pops of airtime that these GG family coasters deliver.
Brilliant vlog
Great vlog Shawn. I don’t think I have seen Drayton Manor so quite. What a luxury to just be able to walk straight on a ride. I think judging by the fact the park is family themed another dark ride would be beneficial.👍👍👍
It was a nice day for quiet re-rides!
Your witty funny sense of humour banter makes these blogs more fun as I know I've mentioned this loads of times before but your funny sense of humour cheesy jokes always crack me up everytime lol, I agree with your observations about Drayton Manor with an Octoberfest they could really enhance their park with so much potential adding that extra fun factor vibe to it. Have you mentioned the Octoberfest to Drayton. It's nice when the parks ain't too busy as you get to explore the different attractions animals. As for my local zoo being zoo members Me my folks including our friends had such a great time at our local zoo as we were entering @3pm whilst the other guests were departing to go home, we more or less had the entire zoo to ourselves wow it was awesome we got to to see the animals having down time watching them being fed, watered as the keepers interacting with the animals getting them settled for bed it was amazing interesting to see the after care being provided
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I've enjoyed watching your TPWW blogs that are getting more awesomely fun each time, that's why I share my complimentary messages which I mean and comes directly from the very bottom of my heart, I'm very greatful for all of your amazing blogs that's totally time consuming with your hard work, care and dedication that goes into editing making these awesome adventurous blogs. Well done Shawn keep up the good work stay safe and thank you so much. Sorry for the super epic long humongous messages Shawn 😃😄😄💕🥨
We’ve just been to Drayton today! What a fantastic park, adventure cove is really amazing! Walk on queues for everything too!
That’s great to hear!
Shawn, my favourite Thomas and friends character is Thomas himself! 😍
Wow that park is quiet great video though. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ll be going to Drayton manor before I start work at the end of this month, looking forward to going on air race and accelerator mainly as well as a few others😎
Have a great trip!
I recently went it’s really good if your diving a long distance there then don’t go on storm force last it gets you drenched
@@AviationGuy22 I always bring a spare change of clothes and towels when I go because I love Stormforce 10 so much because years ago when I went, I caught a cold after going on Stormforce 😂
@@AviationGuy22 Now this is why I would go on this ride last
Adventure cove looks good
Honestly I would say that a Gerstlauer Spinning coaster or Bobsled coaster would a great fit for the park. I would also like to give a shoutout to ART Engineering's family launch coaster model they just debuted this year in Austria, as something that could work really well here. Obviously a family woody would be the dream but I don't know how realistic that is.
Great vlog as always Shawn!
That thumbnail is perfect.
Great vlog
Definitely inspiring me for a sneaky monday trip !! ....I'd love drayton manor to follow paultons park and put in a ride like storm chaser !!
It’s definitely worth it!
Hiii I love your videos
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video
Great Vlog Shawn Look forward to seeing your Drayton Manor Christmas Vlog From Nathan
Love Drayton manor!
love it shawn
Nice episode
Nice Vlog! (Sorry for the late comment, I was too busy in real life.)
Great vlog @t , thanks 4 sharing , nice zoo trip and rapids @getabouns
euro trip soon , xmas and fireworks ,
Thank you!
Awesome 😎
A flying coaster would be good next! I can't believe the queues (or lack of!)
I went to Drayton Manor yesterday (on a Monday) and at the start of the day I went on Maelstrom and went straight on. I also went straight on to Shockwave. But as the day went it got busier which is expected. Towards the end of the day some of the rides were closed for some reason (e.g a child pressed a button which stopped Apocalypse and someone was sick on the Accelerator). To be honest it was more quiet than I expected and I went on Maelstrom 6 times throughout the day due to the queues being so short so that was great.
I went the day before you visited. It was a Sunday and it was a lot busier than your visit. Lots of queues 👍
I’d love to see a Vekoma Mine Train, heavily themed, bit like Thunder Mountain at Disney with that kind of intensity
It would be a fantastic addition for them!
Went in august before school started back. Kids loved it
Oh that is sad Apocalypse is up for sale. Such a good ride. The stand up is so unique.
We were there this Monday, 13th September, soooo quiet really nice to see the place getting a but of a face lift.
Last time i checked The Smiler was on 5 min queue! No wonder the kids are at school!
And I'll be taking full advantage of that next weds!!!
I saw the comment, have fun i guess!
Back in 2017 I hated this park but when the new company bought it it is one of my favourite in the uk
why did you hate it before?
@@galaxyflame1850 I was there on the day of the rapids accident
The park are definitely making better decisions with the new owners!
mack spinning coaster would be a good fit for drayton manor and even through the park and looking into the family market i'd say that drayton manor could do with 1 more thill ride and get a Vekoma space warp which will nicely round out the parks offering.
Really good mate do more videos
Obv Drayton will go with a Cheaper Manufacturer. I feel like if they work with Zamperla they can easily fill the gaps in the line up
1.Yes they have Troublesome,I feel like they need something tamer like a my first coaster. I can easily see a Wacky Worm, Zamperla Kiddie Coaster,or even that new Skyline Attractions Kiddie Coaster)
2.Sit Down looping coaster that isn't intense, more of like my first upside-down coaster
3.Vekoma Suspended Family
4. Zamperla Spinning coaster
I'd want to see a racing coaster. It would be epic! Maybe not inversions but definitely a wooden racing coaster!!!
Now that would be fun!
It was great meeting you there Shawn.
Great to see you!
i saw u in alton towers last wednesday
down by rita
Wow ❤️
Think a Mack family launch coaster would fit really well. Or a small Gravity Group woodie, which would fit really well between Accelerator and Shockwave
I'm so excited to watch your Halloween vlogs! Have you ever been to the 'Spooky Spectacular' event at the Safari Park (West Midland)?
We can’t wait! Never done that event!
I went for the fireworks yesterday and it was great
We went August 19th and the queues sucked! The drop tower was the highlight of the day! I usually hate them but I'm a changed man now. That was a real thrill!
It does get busy in the holidays!
Looking forward to watching this! Off to alton towers with my fiancé for the 3rd time this Saturday 😁 what’s your fave alton towers ride?
Nemesis!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I totally agree, closely followed by wicker man
Going to Drayton manor on Saturday and Alton towers the day after for the long September weekend and if the queues are gonna be like this it’s gonna be a breeze
Will be going here on Saturday for the first time hopefully it won't be to busy
Visited Drayton Manor on a Friday in early June in 2021 when kids were still in school- wasn’t too busy
Drayton manor is such a underrated park and it is amazing to see them putting Investments in it
Definitely
Love video
Hello Shaun & Hello Charlotte world wide from Laura from the West Midlands UK
Yeah they need the mist to keep the humidity levels up 👍 To replicate rainforests and similar.
Ýeah that was a warning call from the golden lion probs about the camera
Hopefully, Thorpe Park will be this quiet when I go at the end of the month
It will be. Average 10 min queues today.
Have a great time!
One of the few theme parks I haven't done but would love to see a wooden coaster there similar to megafobia at Oakwood.
It would be a great addition for this park!
We need a spinning coaster at Drayton manor
Honestly Ben ten and troublesome trucks are better than shockwave 😅
I think DM could use a Vekoma STC like there is at Tripsdrill
I think them markings are maybe for another entrance plaza as that’s now the entrance for the hotel guests and overflow car park.
Not happy that with a annual pass now you get half price fireworks offer and got to pay to see Santa and his show when in 2019 they were all included.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
We went recently it was ok... Not many adult rides there but yeah we went on back row of shockwave and it smashed our heads against the harnesses a few times it hurt
I think it would be great to retheme the area around apocalypse and pandemonium to government facility that has projects like area 51 . They could rename pandemonium to project 360 or something like that and repaint it to black grey and green and rename drunken barrels to toxic barrels and the barrels has green toxic liquid for a design. The lady at the front would turn into a scientist holding beakers and test tubes. Let me know what you think , i legit thought of that idk why lol
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Shawn, why did pandemonium replace the old sky flyer ?
A vekoma family suspended coaster would be good
We are visiting warwick castle on sun how long does it take to get round. We are going to drayton manor on monday I havnt been for years but i wanted to go on the rapids. We are not used to coasters what is accelorator like is it tame.
It’s definitely somewhere that’s worth a few hours to explore! Drayton Manor is a fantastic park and a good full day out!
Loved what they've done with the park so much when we went last month that we bought Annual passes.
I really hope they replace the Buffalo with another coaster. It takes up a lot of prime space, and as much as my son loves it, I find it so uncomfortable to ride.
Personally, I feel a Vekoma Space Warp (like Formula at Energylandia) or Family Suspended Coaster across the water (like Orkanen at Fårup Sommerland) would do wonders for the park
Definitely
VERY surprised to see they opened the Rapids again, a young girl from my city died on that ride a few years ago which was very upsetting, I assumed they would have closed it for good after that.
The ride has had a complete refurbishment with new safety measures added
Hi Shawn I would love to see a black hole ride it is a great ride when it was at Alton towers it’s a shame
Would love a haunting POV
I’ll have to try and get it arranged with the park!
I could have sworn there where other smaller rides like a Ferris wheel to see the park? Is that not their anymore or am I mandala effecting my childhood and/or confusing it with Alton towers??
They removed them
Hi Shawn we have decided to go to thrope park scare feast in Oct and Alton towers
Enjoy!
Yeyy
I've never been here believe it or not, but that apocalypse ride looks like something different, I'm mistaken for calling detonator the best drop tower in the uk, I need to go here👍
It’s such a great ride!
I think I would love to see a rollercoaster 🎢 that is just as intense as Ben 10 or more intense. I now they have changed the name but Ben 10 is so much easier to spell than it’s proper name
Did you not consider dropping in for a coffee ? Have fun !!
Wow I’ve never seen a park that quiet
So now that Drayton has a new owner what exciting attraction do you think will replace G force?
A seating area.
There’s the new Wave Swinger that opened this year
Hi any idea end of season here?
I want to avoid October school holiday's for obvious reasons. Also not get overcharged for Halloween/Bonfire night events (again these will be busy).
We simply want to visit the zoo and go on the rides (hopefully all open and operating). Birthday present for someone who has requested, a theme park at a difficult time of year (seasonal and weather permit). Never mind lets go and Drayton Manor is pretty local to us.
It’s definitely worth visiting for fireworks!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide We went Friday. The weather was on our side. I opted out of going on stormforce 10. Watched the other 3 get soaked :D. The park was empty, which was handy also later, when sat on pandemonium, whilst waiting too long for it to fill up, I bottled out and got off :D. Shockwave was brilliant and maelstrom. I forgot how small the place was. A shame they cannot integrate their capacity, adding new rides like Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I suppose money talks though.
If this theme park is local to you it is well worth a visit. A must for a family day out. Use it or risk losing it!
Sweet, Drayton Manor is still open! I thought the flood, the fire and the pandemic did it in...
They’ve done well to keep fighting on!
