Will you be visiting for one of the Saturday Summer Nights? We are expecting this event to potentially include some cocktail/mocktails and the return of the DJ who has been attending the previous events. Rory and friends will also be wearing some summer themed costumes along with a new summer-themed show (we assume)

The website has been updated to provide a few themes for the weekends. Each weekend has a different theme with different acts and DJ's to match

The event has also updated to be every Saturday AND Sunday for the duration instead of the originally reported Saturdays only.
Do any of the themes catch your eye?

I do like the idea of the garage and dance party’s

I love that they've done different types of music to appeal to a wider audience

Preparations for Summer Nights at the moment is starting and one of the big changes we saw today was Shockwave recieving a fresh name for the event.

Are you ready for a ShockRAVE?

We think renames of rides for special events is a kinda cool idea!

Really hope they play rave music in the queue line of shockwave. Takes me back to the G-force days.

That was my thoughts exactly G-Force queueline

I really want a discoball in the station... No reason other than it would be funky

To clarify, this will not actually be there during the event. The park have confirmed that this was just for promotional purposes.

Rides in the dark will be nice

Up until last season, shockwave actually played the old G-force soundtrack "Radiation" by Bass Kidz

Wow, did they let you go on it at the same time they were recording or just coincidence?

I believe your seen on google elise as there's a picture of shockWAVE on google from the video

Not yesterday no

Having the rides open to 9pm on Saturday’s and 8pm on Sunday’s is excellent but the event itself is rubbish and I think it’s made march of the dinosaurs look excellent.
Like I thought there be more entertainment and things going on.

Was meant to go today but really nasty pains in the stomach stopped that as we were travelling to the park I will hopefully be there in a few weeks instead

I went on Saturday. Great to have a pretty full line-up open late. Some Thomas land rides were shut by 7pm though.

The live band were being well received, and park stayed busy which was good to see.
