The park in general is been very busy this season with the main car park full and they even filled the car park that’s usually used for the zoo but having rides closed, keep breaking down and long lines I very much doubt many of them will return. At least they decided to stay open to 6pm yesterday

Interesting to see what has been nominated from the park. Also interesting to see which which categories the park hasn't received a nomination in. hmmmm....The UK Themepark awards nominations list has now been revealed for this year.

I did a bit of research as to who is behind these things and came across the pages on the judges. Maybe we could think of some alternative categories like, "Which UK Themepark awards judge would you least like to be stuck behind in an hour long coaster queue" or "Park with the most gratitous touting of fast pass" or "Best dealing with queue jumping"
When you think that sign post looked a great improvement they gone and even improved it even more. Now if there was an award for best themed sign post then Drayton would win hands down.
There's a little gap at the top potentially for the ride that was next to the dodgems before
When I went last week it closed at 6 Thomas land was around 5:30 but rest of the park was 6
I’m giving the parks a miss this weekend heat and queues don’t mix.
Really do think they should have a splash zone added to Adventure Cove.

Always StormForce 10 to cool you off. Wish the toned up the rapids to full power and effects get the bucket effect working.
Could always use a nice long indoor water ride to keep cool
We popped in this afternoon for a few hours, I was fairly surprised at how quiet it was. Everything was walk on apart form the wave and gold rush was 30 mins.
Was here all day. Was able to keep moving and generally keep cool. Pretty disappointing though that so many rides were having downtime. Three times had to leave the queue for one issue or another.

Unfortunately the heat will impact rides
It was extremely hard to find somewhere to sit to eat yesterday without wasps swarming, I must’ve walked around for atleast 20 minutes and had to keep switching places. The exterior seating of Pizza Pasta was the worst.
