2026: General Discussion

[WK4]

Didn’t think it would happen this soon but my kids have outgrown most of Drayton now sadly, they are only 9 and 6! The Wave opened them up to thrill rides such as Wickerman and Mandrill Mayhem etc, so the Merlin pass has been brilliant for us. With lots of Christmas based activities included in that, such as at Towers or Warwick Castle (closer to home). Such as shame as Drayton is out closest park, but with Access changes and their ride demographic changes, I doubt we’ll renew our now expired passes after 6 years

Some sad news coming out of the Wales ape and monkey sanctuary where Toto the chimpanzee retired to after he left Drayton in 2016


(I couldnt find a relevant thread that i could post this too in the zoo discussion, hence posting it here)

I see the park is closed today due to flooding.

There is a big problem in Fazeley due to flooding everytime there is a significant rainfall like this morning. A few other businesses including the Plough were flooded according to their social media channels.

Does anyone know if Theme Park Jake still works at the park as I read that he was arrested at Thorpe Park. I was informed that it was Theme park Jake uk that was arrested and he had his equipment taken off him.
