It used to be so small .o.
Close enough to where it stands id say yes.
Looks like it would have touched the far side of it.

The only rides I went on was the slide and the super dragon. When we went to Drayton Manor in the 80s it was mainly for the zoo and it wasn’t to pirate adventure opened my parents started to buy me and my sister wristbands while my mum would buy tickets as the only 4 attractions she would go on was Splash Canyon, Pirate adventure, Jungle cruise and the Jungle palladium.

Yes, Thomas land in my opinion is the best themed kids area in the UK, better than CBeebies Land as well.

Definitely the best themed IP area, though my money for best kids themed area would go to Transylvania. Anyway, back on topic sorry.

This is the only area the park will never destroy
If the IP / Licence agreement runs out, the area would have to go unfortunately.
However, I don't see this happening for a very long time. So its all well and good
Thomas and friends are here to stay!

And if it did run out couldn't they just re issue it as it makes loads of moneyIf the IP / Licence agreement runs out, the area would have to go unfortunately.

It will be up for renewal in 2027 and I’m sure the looping group will renew the lease. With some of the flat rides been 20 years old in 2028 with they replace them with newer models or add new attractions to keep Thomas land fresh.
I agree it's highly likely they would renew the lease ✓

I found a short video dating quite a few years back now, but it shows the old sombreros, Jolly Roger, a bit of Wild West Shootout, and a snippet of Pirate Adventure, including a second of official audio the captain used to say in the battle scene, though its mainly focused on Apocalypse, Shockwave, and G-Force.

I uploaded this on the Hauntings Forum, but it seems really appropriate to post it here as well. A video I found on YouTube was holding some old Adverts for The Haunting, but there's something really special at the 2 minute mark... I won't say anything else, so you'll have to watch it yourself.
