Future Rides and Attraction Ideas

What will the next new ride be at Drayton Manor do we know what they will do next
Rumours are Pirates may be coming back, TPWW stated something new is coming next year, personally hoping PA does make a come back, park really needs it back
 
When I was in the museum I got talking to other adults who were explaining to there kids what was the ride like and how much they missed it. I went on pirate adventure 3 years before I went on the Florida pirates of the Caribbean and before all the pirates were upgraded you couldn’t tell the difference.
Like Drayton really got to do a big dark ride as they got big competition next year with Paulton’s new area, Chessington’s Paw patrol area and Alton Towers rumoured Bluey coaster.

I would suggest to Drayton not to try and compete with Towers, as weaker as Tpwers it still a major park, its the reason the thrill rides didn't work for Drayton.

A Dark Ride would be a good addition is it ironic that we have 2 Mack Rides Boat Rides in the UK SBNO.

Actually noticed recently Alton Towers and Drayton Manor share a few of ride models i.e. Vekoma Madhouse, Intamin Rapids, Zamperla Rock n Tug, even as stated Mack Rides Boat ride.
 
There is an expectation of new rides and attractions at parks every year, it's not realistic but we have been lucky over the last few years. Hopefully we will see frontier falls finished properly and a new attraction next year along with zoo works.

I would love to see more dark rides for days when the weather is not so good. I do wonder what the plans are for the 4d cinema.
 
AEG is on the way out it seems .
With the return to the classic Thomas we all know . A possible Thomas expansion for the 20th anniversary in 2027/2028 would be a classic Thomas theme

A dark ride is a cool idea and I feel a Thomas dark ride would be a nice addition. Maybe time to get rid of the Sodor classic cars . I am shocked the ride has lasted this long . The land being used for a dark ride could easily boost park attendance .

The Sodor windmill merry go round is a ride that was in Thomas land USA but not at Drayton I could see that being added as well in update.
Along with some stage show for the area . I think this would make a good expansion .

To sum it up
Thomas dark ride - replacing Sodor classic cars
Sodor merry-go-round windmill
Thomas stage show
 
I do think the looping group will have a big decision to do in 2027 as it be there 1st time they got to renew the contract as some of them rides will be 20 years old. They may need to be replaced with a newer version or add more rides based on the trains.
