It’s excellent value for money. With my son’s Nimbus card we get to use the fast pass entrance so last week we didn’t even get to the park to 3pm but still did
Gold Rush 3
Blasting barrels
Sheriff Showdown
Accelerator
Loki
Jormungandr
Jolly Buccaneer
River rapids
I also spoke to Shawn a couple of times and took pictures for the forum.
Going late tomorrow for a night ride on gold rush, check out the museum and watch the fireworks.

This was why the decision was easy, 2 visits - spur of the moment - pays for it in itself not including the discounts available in park too, im yet to get an Access card for my kiddo but i know the park is great with those with SEND, which is the main reason its the go to for us personally, plus kiddo loves a coaster, with Accelerator and Gold Rush his top 2
 
So i got my passes, both showing up no problem, connected them to Google Wallet, one on mine and one on my partners, no issues ☺️ so can be put on to diff google pays ☺️
 
I just feel they released this too late. A lot of people had already renewed by the time it was put on sale (I renewed a few days before for example...)

If I was at the point of renewal and it was available then, I may have entertained it more for science.

I do think all passes should have a physical card though (better than the online systems)
 
I'm quite interested in it for the physical card but my pass runs out next month so I doubt it'll be available then, I don't understand why this is limited edition? can they not afford to print passes?
 
The scanners on the turnstiles have been covered over for years but the new scanners scan a Qi code instead.
I think also now they can be mistreated as staff just scan them but as there’s no photo I could send it to my m8 and he could go with his daughter.

Hi!

I’ve tested this process this week and found that the friends and family tickets show as £45 until you put your annual pass number in the Identifier box before check out, then it reduces to £20. I guess it’s a way of offering the tickets online but filter out the non-pass-holders.

The instructions were in an email dated 28th Feb. Hope that helps.

I'm trying this now and it keeps telling me that the code isn't valid. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You have to go to discounts section to book, friends and family, then press i have a code, in Identifier box pop your pass number in hit enter and it drops the price ☺️

Photo now shows up on the scanners. Guest services can also add the photo to your account with just your email
 
How worth it is the Drayton Manor Annual Pass is it worth its value specifically the highest tier which does include West Mids and Pleasurewood Hills.

I have always wanted one but often just stick with a Merlin Pass want to try alternatives like this

I suppose it depends on how much you plan on using it really. We've got the gold passes and they allow one visit to pleasurewood hills. The platinum pass gives entry to the safari park (as many visits as you like) and one entry to pleasurewood hills.

also gives you 10% discount off hotel stays and I believe 20% off food and gift shop purchases.
 
We have gold passes and they're excellent value for us :) The food, drink, retail and free parking make it worth while expecially as we visit often

If you plan to visit multiple times in the year, they're great value
 
We have the platinum pass and it works out amazing value for us. We mainly go to Drayton but will visit safari park in the warmer months and it works out cheaper for us this way. I love that everything is included so I don’t have to worry about ride wrist bands x
 
Hi all, trying to book a friends and family ticket for tomorrow for my daughter, does anyone know how to book it?

when I get to this point, I dont know what numbers I need to put in...where do I find the annual pass number?

Thankyou.
