With the post on towers street about the behind the scenes tour was thinking we should do 1 on here as we all care about the park and it’s past, Present and future more than any other forum/fans group.

We should do a meet up in the summer time. Be good to see some of the old members again and meet the new 1’s.

I'm up
A few of our team attended the Attraction Source event which had a behind the scenes tour of the Haunting. (Some of you may have seen our posts on the social media pages during this)
It was a really good tour and definitely something I would like to see more of. Unfortunately there was no photos during the tour (sorry everyone!)
On the topic of a "Drayton Talk Meet" - I am more than happy to look at arranging a small one to get the community together some more.
Would you prefer this to be during one of the parks upcoming events? (I'm thinking Summer Nights might be a nice one)
As Ciaran said, we are always looking to grow our audience/community. We would love to put on some larger events with everyone but to do that we will need a bigger community (But lets see what happens
We never know what the future holds.)We love our community right now and hope to keep growing to put on bigger events for everyone.

There are a couple of photos taken by Attraction Source on Twitter, here are a couple, which were taken in the library. Was there at the back of the group, lovely event met loads of enthusiastic people.

You can find a few of the DT team in some photos - will appear in more when the full gallery is released.
(no prizes for spotting us sorry!)
Question for the forum then! If you could have a behind the scenes tour for any actively operating ride, which would you choose?

Definitely Sheriffs Showdown! I think Behind the scene tours of Dark rides are always the best as they reveal things you'd never see as a guest, so it makes your appreciate the effort put into the ride more than before.
I agree entirely
Dark rides have so much to see that you just don't see when travelling through the scenes. The lighting hides so much too. Its really interesting. Sheriffs has all kinds of stuff in the main room and of course the past versions of the rides are also things to talk about.

Just a couple of thoughts on this. Firstly thank you for bringing this forum back to life. It is certainly appreciated by me and I imagine that it is from everyone else here.On the topic of a "Drayton Talk Meet" - I am more than happy to look at arranging a small one to get the community together some more.

As for the meet up I think that may be nice. It would be good to know if it was a "family meet". Normally go to the park with the little lad, but on here I am on my own. Not sure how much interest it would have for him unless there were other little members about.

I always wanted to know if there is anything left from the Jungle Palladium as the scenes could have been built in front of the themed walls.
Thank you for being a part of the forum
Our team is only half of the story. Without you and the other members, we wouldn't be able to run the forum. We would love to have people of all ages at meet up events however I'm not too sure how many mini-members we would potentially have so they might be one of few (or the only one). I guess it would be your choice
It would be a nice day out eitherway. I'll potentially put together some polls & look at dates over the weeks. See what we can arrange. I'll take a proper look after my trip away to see what we can look into.
It would be more a "community meetup" so we'd all get some group photos & do some ride takeovers together (most likely for a few hours)
More to come on that thought!

I’m going with my daughter on the 1st July and she’s over 1.4 if u want to arrange it for that day.
I'll check my calendar and see what I can put together.
Information to follow!

I probably wouldn't be able to attend this as I am not an annual pass holder and I live roughly half an hour a way and only get 3-4 trips in a year, and so unless by lucky coincidence I end up going on the same day as this happens I most likely won't be there.
Probably the Rapids for me as I would love to see how exactly the ride functioned.
