Technically a little early, but 2025 dates are going live and Black Friday deals too so, 2025?
 
Really hope we see some improvements around the park like tlc round the park and some more money spent on events again. If so I'm really going to look forward to Drayton manor in 2025.
 
Well I've just signed up for another year.

Each week our renewal has been a couple of weeks later, edging towards the black froday deals but I've always been cuatious and taken the renewal discount rather than the new deal. This year I've taken the BF deal.

The focus of our visits changed a lot this last year. Thomasland hasn't really had a look in since the opening of frontier falls. The reopening of the Wave has also taken a lot of focus.

I am not anticipating much in terms of new developments next year.....but I'm looking forward to the rumours of things for the year after!!!
 
After a year off we renewed for our 4 year old girl. At just over 1.1m no other park offers close to the value for her as DM
 
I feel like 2025 will see more of a focus on TLC projects after such a large investment making 2024 their biggest year yet.

Think Jetwashes, repaints and much needed care in areas which most people may not even consider.

Yeh, the waves track really needs a jet wash
 
The reason they were removed off the rapids was cause of the height of the boats only a few members of the family was shown or you had other guests in your picture. Also I heard guests were moving seats to face the camera.
I do think they will add a flat ride next year and finish the re-theme of Accelerator and hopefully the Haunting.
While we work start on the pirate adventure building.
 
Does anyone know how/if you can buy a single ride photo? When I went to the fireworks event last month it was giving me the option to add single photos to my basket after I'd scanned the codes and was asking £7.50 per photo. Went last week and got a couple of photos but only one is worth a purchase and I dont really wanna pay £25 for one picture. This is what its showing.

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum
We hope you have a pleasant time here.
 
Anyone see the post on the socials about the 75th anniversary celebrations where they are asking people for photos/heart warming stories and stuff?

I'm debating sending these in...

long story short, I could only fit on these rides, I nearly died so had to make some drastic changes and when those changes were made, I recreated the photos :)

I have a few old ones, one of the old pirate ship and I've actually just found one of me as a kid on the Rapids with my now sister in law :LOL:
