It would be great to see the Buffalo running back at full capacity again, the ride is so popular (as shown by the queue time estimation signs), and doubling the capacity would make this move so much faster. I wonder why they stopped running it at full capacity in the first place?

It could be part of the train that I took a picture off that was at the back of the pirate adventure building. They could be adding another carriage as if u zoom in there no number at the bottom.

Must admit I absolutely love the buffalo can’t wait to get back on it in the summer. So glad they have looked after it .
That was my thought too. You can see the rest of it sitting at the side in the station. It looks like they’re doing quite a lot of work on the station this year so can’t see it going anywhere anytime soon. It still looks really smart with the track being painted last year.

Is the track still got scaffolding around the lake area?
No that was all gone yesterday. Only scaffolding was around the station.
I know the Buffalo is seriously important to Drayton now with the loss of G-Force and the parks focus to families. Also great to see the old girl hopefully at full capacity soon! Also it looks as if ride photo's are coming to the Buffalo YAY! (As seen from the video from Theme Park Vision Art)

It makes total sense for them to have ride photos on the buffalo with the loss of g force otherwise their £20 photo pass offering isn’t good value (as I’m too much of a coward to go on apocalypse)
Do you think it would be the g force photo equipment that is being used?
I would say so but Drayton may have invested in new equipment

Considering the G Force photo booth is still standing (I think), then they’re most likely still carefully removing the tech from inside of there, ready to move it to The Buffalo.
I’m glad that the ride is now getting on ride photos, considering on my visit last July (when the park was fairly quiet), it was popular, being the only ride I really waited for (about 15 minutes). I’m sure they’ll make a lot of money from this. Good move by Drayton!

Its definitely still standing as of Saturday.
Where do you think the cameras will be placed?

Not too sure where they could be placed, however if I was to make a guess, I’d expect the camera to be on the track above the lake, or towards the end of the layout.
I think it’s great that they’re doing this. We only spoke a couple of weeks back about the buffalo getting photographs, if I recall correctly?
I doubt they’d sell a camera with a ride, and I imagine that’s the property of Drayton Manor. All they need to do is install the camera and move the screens and it’s in. Nice and cheap for the park too, and I bet they’ll make a fortune on them. I imagine that’s why the photo booth for G Force is still standing.
Good move from Drayton Manor here.
