[2025 Event] Water Fest
- Thread starter Elise
- Start date
I hope they do water fightssss Maybe have like a water fight zone or smth in adventure Cove or near the main stage.
Water fest, could this be the launch of a water coaster, or a new water ride or even the relaunch of pirate adventure.
A water fight would be good. All of this is probably a dream lol
More likely a water pond in adventure cove. Budget restraints means they are praying for typical summer for the pools by storm force to be big enough to put a pound shop duck in it!

The most viable suggestion above is the idea of a waterfight, however I can't imagine all guests would want to get wet... .And the idea of hoping for good british weather is never a good thing to base an event on ^^'
The stage by Accelerator will be used again, that much I reckon is true.

It could be if u go on the 2 water rides in Thomas land and your under 1.1m you can get a price from guest services.
If you over 1.1m you also got to go on the rapids to get the price.
Then you get a super prize if you do both Storm Force and the rapids.

This sounds like bribery to make me do stormforce .-.
Draytona Beach Water Fest is making a splash this summer!
1st - 31st AugustAdventure Cove will be transformed to an epic beach destination. Think paddling pools, giant sandpit fun, and WATER GUN BATTLES twice a day!
Live & roaming entertainment? Absolutely.
Late night rides & fireworks? Catch them on 2nd & 30th August.
Bring your own water gun or grab one on site – but beware the splash zone!
Every ticket purchased between 26th July - 31st Aug comes with a FREE return visit – come back anytime from 1st Sept to 19th Oct!
Water are you waiting for?

I think after the good Wild West event this is really a step down. Like the entertainment is just back to Rory/Lory and Thomas land again.
Its nice to occasionally have normal park without events sometimes and I feel Adventure Cove does need more focus recent years Vikings and Frontier Falls have been the main focus good to see Adventure Cove get something
I have heard a few comments that it would be good if the park had a water play park similar to Water Kingdom splash park at Paultons or the splash park at Conkers. I know the UK climate can be unpredictable but would be good for events like this. Not sure about the water guns in the park being a good idea as some people don't like them. Good to see the park getting some new events particularly, although I haven't been to the Manor since May.

I just can't help but think promoting guests to bring water guns is a bad idea... Asking for trouble...
Like, there 100% will be people who use them outside the "Splash zones" and going for people on rides / staff and other people who may not wish to be involved in the water fun... Like. It does not seem like a good idea at all.
I'm also not keen on the "Draytona Beach" name... cant put my finger on why.

Not sure it was a good choice of name, Daytona is speedway racing. Think they were trying a play on words. Keeping open mind about the event, but agree that the water guns is poor choice. The park is getting negative reviews at the minute and if not controlled it will fuel negativity and may have a negative impact on attendance. On positive extended opening hours when most parks are reducing opening hours. Looking to go before our passes expire as unlikely to renew passes in August.
The whole thing is a recipe for disaster. It's one thing getting spalshed in the face from someone you know. Its completely different being the victim of unexpected torrents from other folks you don't know.
If the park just did a quick search of its desired (younger children) and actual demographic (high proportion of accessibility passes in ASD) you have to really question the thought behind this.
Kids do love water fights. They are a staple of cub groups at this time of year, but every one knows everyone else and their triggers and they are organsised by folks who know the folks they have responsilbilty for.
Fingers crossed that it all goes ok. But the thought of screaming kids whilst you are trying to sell water balloons at £3+ a pop isn't a good look. (but I'm guessing there won't be self promoting videos if it does)
