- Join me as I head to Drayton Manor Theme Park for the first day of the 2019 season! In this video I take a look at the various different changes around the park for 2019 including refurbishments on The Haunting, The Buffalo and many more attractions around the park.
I also share a mix of on and off ride footage from across the park including shots of all the major attractions at Drayton Manor. 2019 is also the 25th year of operation of Shockwave and in this video I share some information about this unique stand up coaster!

Come on Drayton, you're replaying some of the greatest rides with kids rides. I want to see more from this former thrill park
thats whats thomas lands there for
The park is definitely missing music. It just seems really dead around there.
More audio is definitely needed
Very true
Missing??? Shaun had an audio section missing when he must of filmed copyrighted music🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reckless UA-cam I couldn’t agree more! It really does need music!
13:12 DO YOU HEAR THAT
Ive never seen drayton manor so dead, there was like nobody there.
I've been and it was VERY busy thank you !!!!!!
Thomas Land looks nice, but Drayton desperately need a major new attraction and investment in the main park. I understand the park isn’t in the best of times right now, but in the last few years we have seen the likes of G Force, Pirate Adventure and Excalibur all close without replacement.
I went today! We went on shock wave then the dodgems, then the shooty one... then the dodgems then the shooty one again x5. They need more thrill coasters DESPERATELY!!!
Drayton Manor has some good rides but is seriously lacking in coasters. Give it another 2 or 3 thrill coasters and a couple family ones and it could actually rival Alton towers.
Drayton cannot afford anything else after 2018 that's why they didn't open any thing new last season the park is lacking money since last year when the missed out on 3.2 million
Alton towers is kinda rubbish
They are actually rivelimg Thorpe Park noe
GOING THERE TOMORROW BTW
S U N F L O W E R S no the rides aren’t but it’s very quiet most of the time, the worst rides are galactica and Rita tbh
Shockwave was my first upside down ride and that was a mistake😂😂i love it now though cant wait to go this season
It's crazy!
Same here
Probably gonna be mine too 😂😂
Love shockwave was my first upside down ride but I always feel like I’m gonna fall out at the zero g roll 😂😂
Mine aswell
The Buffalo Coaster sounds just like the spin on a old washing machine 😂 Great video :)
I look forward to these Vlogs each year, they're crazy good and fully detailed, you know your stuff fair doose Shaun 👍🏻🦸♂️
Thank you!
Fantastic update as always Shawn. Thank you, there was some really useful information included.
Thanks Phil
Nice To see you back at my local park Shawn
I love your videos. They are so factual but fun 😃
Thank you
No problem
Thank you for these regular uploads Shawn! very entertaining to watch all of them!
Any chance you'll be coming back to Portaventura for this season?
Thank you for watching! I've got no trips planned at PortAventura at the moment but I may do last minute at some point
Theme Park Worldwide did they give you the inspiration?
Absolutely love this place. Been going since I was 4 in now 32! My kids love it here. Youngest for Thomas land and eldest for the bigger rides 😊 we are camping there in may. Fingers crossed for nice weather
Amazing video! Love your channel. Keep going with this great content!
Thanks!
If drayton manor ever gets rid of shockwave that would be a very illogical thing of them to do
I really hope not!
i know right
They need to sell shockwave to Alton towers or Thorpe park and re track the old girl, why not add some more to this ride? Nemesis style...
It's up for sale!
Quick to the Bat mobile
love this park it was the first park I ever went to
Same. Been going since I was 4
mine was camelot(R.I.P)😩😩
That's awesome!
same! i went when i was 2 and now its my favourite i always cried leaving it
Hello, it's nice to have a vlog on a thurs, cup of tea and a hours gone thank you for the upload all the best 🎢🎢👍
Thank you!
Im going to Drayton manor with my school sometime in this year and im a little bit worried 😂 but im also looking forward for it, this video made me feel excited for going there
im going with my school in july. im so excited and this is the reason I'm watching this video
Have a great time!
This was really beneficial because the last time I went Drayton Manor was when I was a kid so this really helped me as I wasn’t aware of any new rides or coasters! Thanks Shawn! 😚
Thanks for watching
Amazing video as always!
Thanks!
Just wanted to say your solo vlogs really helped me, I happily do most things alone, cinema, shows etc but Ive always been nervous about doing theme parks
Seeing you go it alone to so many different parks assured me I could do it, I had been wanting to visit Thorpe park for so long and last year I finally did it and had a great day
I now plan to do drayton as soon as apocalypse is back open
I enjoy visiting just as much on my own as when I do with friends!
I live 10mins from tamworth and love going to Drayton especially seen as I’m home Ed
It's good fun to ride the flats!
Theme Park Worldwide defiantly but malestorm is my favourite
Theme Park Worldwide did Captain have Water Cannons or Lanterns?
Mix of everything at this park , great vid
There is indeed, thanks for watching
Great vlog Shawn can't wait to get back here on the weekend!
Have fun!
Drayton manor is my local park 10 mins away from me. Love the videos. I'm looking forward to your scare maze vids as im a bit of a scare maze addict
Thanks for watching
Another great video and this park looks great for rides!
It has some awesome flats especially
i love this channel one of my favs
Thanks!
Shawn i've never know anyone to make video's has good has you do please keep them coming my way love to you and Charlotte Joan Taylor xoxo
Great Vlog from Drayton Manor Shawn 😉
Super smashing great vlog. I would of loved to see you storm force even if it was your last ride
I'll have a go next time!
i need to go here later on this year since its a 15min drive from my house
Great vlog as always.
Thank you
Accelerator needs a repaint I think that the theming of the ride and the fact they kept the same colour scheme as Ben 10 makes the ride quite dull.
I'd love to see the side rails become grey or black and the middle bar becomes yellow to symbolise a road
I’d love it I if the track was repainted a burnt orange type look and the cart with some orange flames and a purple base colour
Excalibur and that one with flintstones outside are ones that where always closed every time I went in 😂 although I think I remember going on Excalibur once, but I’ve always wondered what was inside them both, and the pirate one was one of my favourites back when I was a kid too
I can see me near the goats haha didn't know you volgged 😊 x
Looks great 👍🏻
I’ve just been there today!! Lol - I didn’t enjoy Air Race but I loved the green one (forgot its coaster name lol) amazing vlog by the way x
Thanks for watching
Theme Park Worldwide No problem 😃
ive not done the haunting for sometime
also i think they should add some smell pods in parts of the ride especially like an old damp smell where the old lady pre show story line is and a basement smell pod in the lorry bit where the fist pre show is
Love your vids
Thank you
I love maelstrom, it’s one of my favourite flats, my favourite roller coaster is Wickerman! I’m like you I’m close to both these parks but never really stretched further, I’ve been to Disney world and universal in Orlando though. They are amazing!
I was so sad that they closed g force because I’ve never even been on it 😞 but I might be going there in the Easter holidays so I’m glad you made this video 😂
Have a great trip!
I’ve only been to Drayton manor once about six or so years ago and from what I remember apocalypse was my favourite ride as I love myself some drop towers
Wonder when they'll ever sort that Splash Canyon thing out, it's been closed for years on top of years at this point, I guess everyone is still wating on the HSE, what's taking them so long. I've always wondered what it would be like going down that path by Shockwaves drop and loop, I know while all those years I went on Splash canyon was open, the near missises of seeing the Shockwave structure and how one ride zig zags around the other was great, definitely when you're on spash canyon and go underneath the shockwave loop part.
Fantastic vlog shawn
Thanks James
My WHOLE school are going to Drayton Manor tomorrow 😂 Around 1700 students x
Leah Savage the whole of my year 7 group are going for a school trip in 2 weeks xø I CANNOT WAIT😂💗
@@Hellohiehbekska636 Its AMAZING! Btw, u should definetly go on the Accelerator
My school (Yr8) are going on July 17th is it good?
@@oldaccount9699 Ye its EPIC! And very fun! Half the rides r scary tho XD
Leah Savage I’ve been before aha, what rides would you recommend and are the rapids open yet?
They do need a new coaster or a family coaster. Another great look at another great theme park.
I'm loving the 2019 season so far at Drayton Manor with out ultimate passes, my kids are especially loving it. Can't fault the park one bit, it's a lovely family park. Shame about pirates adventure a few years back closing, I was looking forward to re-liveing some childhood memories this year on that. This year is the first year back at the park for me since I was a kid myself, but as I'd seen from your other vlogs it has been permanently closed for a while now. But looking forward to seeing what they do with the space over the coming years and same with the space over at G-Forse. One thing I think they are lacking is Merchandise as I think you've mentioned in other vlogs, they need some more hoodies and zip-ups and in larger sizes as well, also an idea for different merchandise could be a Car section. For example Car window stickers, Areal Toppers, Bobble heads, Air fresheners, Etc all designed around the different rides!! So rather than the traditional Bobble heads for example it could be Bobble Ride Trains. I know you are quite close with the staff Shawn maybe have a word lol. But dispite that I've still managed to get myself some nice pins badges and a nice rides mug from Drayton Manor so far.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
anyone else think if shawn opened his own theme park they would go there every year. i know i would 😂
Thinking of coming here this sat but hope its not too busy!
Happy birthday Shockwave!!!!!
I should be called shockwave “it’s a short ride but a great ride” 😄
Jason Price 🤣
Yes mate 😁
I use to work there.
I live behind the zoo
Love this!
I work there this year 😊
Do you know Tommy On rides
I know tommy!
He a legend
Another great vid from Drayton Manor you never fail to produce a bad vid
Cheers!
Would definitely be looking to go to Drayton this season! Home Park is Towers so it isn’t too far
I've never done a stand up coaster always wanted to try one.. having not been to Drayton manor I didnt know we had one in the UK... I must go!!
I'm going to Drayton Manor in a couple of months with my school. Can't wait, I love rides, I'm not scared of them.
What a great review very positive for our local park
Cheers!
drayton manor needs more to it i hope when gforce goes another ride will be put there mabe a dark ride
did u say it was sold is it goin sumwhere els?
Happy birthdays shockwave and great blog Shaun what do you know about the g force being deconstructed ?
All I know is that the ride will be removed in due course
Fantastic video Shaun 👍
Thanks!
Just saw you on the Alton Towers vid! Well done.
Thanks!
Great vlog Shawn, we’ve never been there for about 23 years, think it’s time for a revisit
Thanks for watching Mark!
Happy birthday Shockwave
i was here on the same day and saw you. It was so dead no one was basically there XD im just gonna stick with Alton in the future :/
I love the Polperro express every time you go to Drayton Manor Park love Joseph Johnson
Yess shawnnnn
I'd love to see an indoor vekoma sfc in the former pirates adventure show building themed right it would be amazing
You are correct about The Haunting, the speakers that was used to play the audio for the Vicar used to be above the sharkstooth scrim that is used as the ceiling to project the ghosts onto. And yes, the vicar (or lady now) now has its own speaker which is behind the once was painting where the old animatronic vicar used to be.
Thanks for the information!
A white lightning clone would be perfect for this park, can’t imagine it would be too expensive and would tick a lot of boxes. Assuming they have the space.
Nice vlog shawn xxx
Thanks Tracey
Love watching your vlogs 👍are you due to go to ingoldmells fantasy Island anytime soon ? 😀
Wednesday!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide look forward to watching your video 👍😀😀
I Think The Blade At Alton Towers Is The Best Pirate Ship. 🏴☠️ Timon Meets Jafar. LOL. I Remember Watching Harry’s Mad With The Parrot On CITV. About The Flamingos, Say Hello To The Viewers On You Tube. 😡 LOL. I Am Looking Forward To The Chessington Vlog As Apprently I Have Asked You About The Halifax Fun Fair But You And Shawn Are Very Busy At Chessington. I Think That Was Edward From 44:25. Lucky Me As I Go To A Restaurant For Lunch At Alton Towers. It’s A Statue Of Sir Topham Hatt! What A Berk Shawn Is! Make Sure You And Shawn Look After Yourselves And I Will Catch Up On This Week’s Theme Park News Show, Later.😊
Thank you for the great video, as always. This vlog has made me feel quite sad, however. It's a shame to see Drayton Manor in the state that it is in. I remember how amazing Excalibur and Pirates Adventure were, when they were in good keep and fully working order. Excalibur was actually hilarious and Pirates Adventure was always a favourite of mine. Of course, it was a knock-off of Pirates of the Caribbean, but it wasn't bad at all and had its own unique charm! At that time, it felt like Drayton Manor had full and distinct themed areas. Now, it feels like all we get are removals and no replacements and the park feels emptier and emptier. I would like to see the return of some distinct themed areas and would love to see the shell of Pirates Adventure be used for a groundbreaking dark ride and maybe the Excalibur area be transformed into a new type of ride. Thomas Land is great and all that, but I felt that the investment they put into that alienated everyone who wasn't under 7, lol. I miss Drayton Manor 2005-2010 era. I guess, like you said, they're doing the best with what they've got. My guess is that they may be struggling a bit, hence the lack of new investments to replace closures. Do you remember the Black Revolver? That was mental!
Thank you for watching and also for sharing your thoughts!
Interesting park, seems like it lacks atmosphere but I don't know if that's just because it's so empty, having never visited it myself.
Nah it does lack atmosphere. I just wish they focused more on thrill and the theme of the rides. It's kind of a dying park imo
drayton manor is like an upgrade from wicksteed park in my opinion. all though i do love wicksteed , drayton manor comes on top as apocalypse is the best thing there and sure does make the park better x
Great vid
Thank you!
Do you know where you could get some pieces from gforce?
I have no idea, sorry!
Love this park
Thanks!
I literally just saw you at thort park!
I'd like to see a family gravity group woodie at Drayton Manor, it would be a fantastic fit! :)
It would indeed
Imagine Twister from Gröna Lund at Drayton
they should have a sea aquarium ride there like fantasy island has with the really catch song
i live like 10 mins away from here. i would love to go a place like this with a youtuber!
Love this!
Is the pirate ship ride still there?? And the big wheel and this other ship type ride white in colour and goes upside down sorry cant rem the name lol x
It is indeed!
What's the music used in the Sherrifs Showdown Building?
I'm not sure!
G Force might be off the map but Splash Canyon is still on it..fingers crossed it's a sign of good things for its future.
I actually enjoyed this vlog
Normally people are just doing dumb and stupid stuff
But this guy is a legend
Thanks!
Theme Park Worldwide omg you have literally made my day by just replying 😊🤩
I wish I could meet you one day
Let’s just hope that i can 😆🤞
I might be coming here this year on a trip
YOU GOT A BONUS!
Love a good bonus!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide You and your vlog squad really do make me laugh - never change!
im going drayton manor on the 13th of april thats in 13 days so happy
He is so awesome
Cheers!
I think they should repaint Ben ten (I forgot the new name for it) to red so it's not green and changed the cars to race cars and maybe take the laser off so there's no evidence of Ben ten.
Hope I see you again soon 😎
I'm going to Drayton manor today 6 June for the first time in years, I can't wait I'm going with a little group of us, I liked watching your Vlog, i hope to ride shockwave as I never ridden it before it's a shame splash canyon and g force are sbno. I'm going to make a Vlog.
Good vlog
If theme parks watch your videos.......THEY WILL MAKE BIIIIIGGGG IMPROVEMENTS
Let's hope so!
Why don't they replace g force with a model like a sky rocket 2 or a s and s like galeforce in ocean city nj?
Storm Force 10 is my jam
You ever though of adding licence free music during the off ride shots? Like in this one, the train ride could benefit from a bit of music. Keep up the great vids!
Thanks for your suggestion!
Keep it up👍😀
We will do!
