    Drayton Manor sold to Looping Group (page 5)

    Speaking to a trusted source at the park, their response was at first a lot of laughing and that they haven’t heard anything about it. Putting it down to just imaginative rumours and wild speculation. The problem Drayton have is to cut the overall debt down at the park. Although this year has...

    Drayton Manor sold to Looping Group (page 5)

    I've explained about money with regards to Drayton Manor in my first paragraph of my second post, stating it would be nice to see but given the circumstances I don't see it happening in the short term at all neither do I expect it to happen. I agree but how do you know that thrills don't make...

    Drayton Manor sold to Looping Group (page 5)

    I think everyone would love to see Drayton Manor become both and why not. It already has thrill rides, granted not a large selection like it once did but still a good variety.

If I'm honest the problems started with G-Force although unknown until a few years later, then the Hotel...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Most companies exaggerate the price of things. Many companies say they are investing £20million over the next five years where in reality it's more like £5million. I cannot imagine a rollercoaster from a few years ago that has not been built and sat about for a few years is going to cost...

    Removal of G-Force at Drayton Manor (2005 - 2018)

    Drayton Manor for me is a park I've always admired definitely one of my favourite parks as school kid. Unfortunately I've found it to become more and more younger children (not older than 7) friendly than 'family' friendly. I see Flamingo land, Chessington and to an extent Alton Towers as better...
