It was great to visit Drayton Manor yesterday. We had picked
a great day where the novelty of summer had still not warmed off; all the grown-ups
were at work; the kids were at school with no chance of an end of term trip;
and even the students were back at college. So there were no queues and it was
absolutely dead. Dead to the point where Shockwave; Europe’s only stand-up
roller coaster was absolutely dead and I was stood at the front in my very own
car. The only time we had to queue was when the ride was already in motion. So
very soon, we were all coasted out. We even had time to explore the zoo at a
leisurely pace. It was fantastic to see all the traditional roller coasters
there like the Buffalo ride and the Pirate adventure. But they've also gotten
rid of some of the old favourites like the Jungle Cruiser as well. The times are a-changing.
