Interesting. I wonder if they are going to renovate it or sell it for scrap.

I like this however really wish there was more merch for the park.
Ride specific stuff for example.

Personally, I want a little rory plushie.

The thought of being stuck in that shop overnight with those dolls is far scarier than anything for the Hallowe'en event.

I look in all the shops and I notice the Drayton Manor resort T-shirts and Hoodies are on sale.
My kids like the pocket money items and the sweet shop.

Not really about Drayton, but actually about this whole website. I just wanted to say how amazing it is, the staff that run it and of course the members. I always enjoy coming home and looking to see what has been said on here. Anyways, just a huge thank you to everyone!

Can understand why they doing this as the general public who go once or Maybe twice a year spend so much on tickets and parking they take packed lunches with them.
Even if you buy that that 4 tickets for £115 deal plus £6 parking and £20 on petrol if they traveling from the midlands area that’s £141 before you even got thou the gate. Without that deal you can easily add on another £60 min spend on food and drink which takes it over the £200 mark which is currently a lot of money for a day trip.

Many schools across the country have broken up for the Summer Holidays so expect Drayton to be very busy over the coming weeks. I am going sometime in August so I will be sure to share the latest updates from the park.

I see many have complain about that guarantee as in the week it rained most of the day but not enough to activate the free visit.

Do we know how much rain they need to activate the guarentee? (I was wondering this myself...)

I believe it is either 2-4mm?

I'm imagining them with a cup outside of guest services checking it to see if Its had enough rainfall

Today had quite a rainy moment in the day, no idea if it activated
