Just seen this online
- Pay Online | £7 - You can pay for your car parking ticket prior to your visit by adding this onto your booking – you will be prompted to enter your car registration at the end of your booking process. Please ensure you travel in the same car of which you have enter the registration, and the barriers will allow you to access/exit the car park without having to take a ticket.
- Pay on the Day | £9.50 - If you’d prefer to pay for your parking on the day, please take a ticket from the barrier system upon entry when you arrive at the park. You can then pay at one of our pay stations located by the Main entrance, outside Guest Services & next to The Sweet Shop entrance any time during your visit.

Wonder which focus group told them that this was an idea which would appeal to the casual visitor.
We've been uploading some new video content to the DT channel including some live shows - enjoy the shows again and again from the comfort of your home:

Did you visit on a weekday? If not the entertainment team availability was outrageous! It’s normally Rory and Lory, and Rusty, Dusty and Fat Controller!! They have 2 backup Rustys, two back up Dustys and one back up Fat Controller, I don’t know about the Costumed characters, but the one who is normally with Rory and Lory is called Paul, and his backup is the guy who plays Dusty.We've been uploading some new video content to the DT channel including some live shows - enjoy the shows again and again from the comfort of your home:
This was on a Friday in termtime.
During the week the entertainment team may be reduced as the team need to take breaks & annual leave. (They work really hard)
Even Rusty & Dusty need a holiday haha
During the holidays / peak season they are all there as normal. I thought it was cool to go get some alternative show versions as I was on a rare midweek visit.
I will be filming the shows with full casts too, I was on a solo visit that day so got a few clips (reduced DT team that day too!)

Just thought I'd mention, please don't just vote for Drayton because you like the park, vote honestly and don't get upset if the nominee you wanted voted for didn't win (cough cough theme park worldwide fans).Drayton Manor has been nominated for a series of awards in this years UK Theme Park awards!

Ride operations definitely feels like an area that needs improving!

Why would it not be allowed? It's the same as Drayton's old social media manager moving to a different park, just the other way around.
100%
Vote for the parks and people who you think deserve it most
All parks are unique in their own ways so some of these categories are hard to compare on.
We wish her the best of luck in the new role

I seen 3 todayQueue time boards are being installed across the park listing some of the rides.
Will be good to see if that is accurate as it will really help with those "blind queues"
Did you find the times accurate?
