I think the reason you won’t see new rapids in the uk as they now need fresh clean filtered water which is more money for a ride that only really busy on hot days.
But if Splash Canyon does reopen then Drayton got more water rides than Alton Towers.

True!!! But is it likely it will reopen? Mention it on the Splash Canyon chat and I'll share my thoughts on there!

They extended the lake to flood the trough which wasn't very hygienic and by the end of its time it was disgusting!!
Thanks. Yeah the lake water isn’t fantastic, you only need to look at how green sf10 is! I can see why clean water is now a requirement!

A photo of the ride was in the corridor of the ground floor rooms. However, this photo was taken around 6 years ago now and I don't know if it is still there.
I don't know if it's just because it's old or what, but that looks kinda creepy! Anyways thanks for the photo.

Stormforce 10 has lasted longer than the log flume did.
I do think now they will try to keep Stormforce and the rapids going as long as possible.

It’s definitely still there. We stayed for a night in a May and it was along the corridor still. I don’t believe they change the photos offering throughout the hotel.
