Blasting Barrels (Originally Drunken Barrels)

I would’ve gone with Explosive Barrels myself but much of a muchness

A Staffordshire theme park has today issued a press release denying that all their latest areas and rides can only be given names that start with the same sounds and letters. Clearly wanting to send a message its signed by:

Victoria Vuvuzela
Chief Czechzecutive
Drayton Drannor Dresort

Someone on the DM team definitely likes alliteration... Frontier Falls, Blasting Barrels... heck even Sheriff Showdown!

New sign above the main logo! Looks really nice and has a retro cartoon feel to it!

Same here. It just looks so lifeless and oversimplified.

Went on it today for the 1st time since the re theme and the amount of money they spent on this they could have painted the ceiling

I went on the ride during a brief pop in and did think that the whole place will probably get an further round of work during the close season. It looks a bit half hearted now the rest of the area is open.

The thing is the ride closed at the end of September and didn’t reopen to the new area was finished in March so they could have done the ceiling in the time as they did paint over the painted over the German theming inside.

When it originally opened under the guise of Blasting Barrels, the soundtrack was insanely loud! They have since adjusted thus (for the past several months) it is so quiet & can barely be heard. Such ashame as the soundtrack is pretty good
