What's new

Is Drayton Manor going to get big overhaul over winter or will it continue being poor.

We can all agree Drayton Manor has had a poor 2026 season with ride availability, park looking tired, poor ops.

We also know there is a lot of management changes and following a QnA sounds like the new staff do have some passion and experience in running parks.

So for the 2027 season do with think the park is going to receive some major TLC, we have already had some changes later on this season, there are still improvements to be made. And with rides beginning Winter Strip down now could be a sign they are planning to do a lot.
 
Drayton even under the Brian’s had always been a park that’s always trying to improve and yesterday was my 1st visit since the 1st
August and so much has been done in 3 weeks since the park only open 3 day a week and them doing the Thomas land rides now they can crack on with the main park in November. I really do think they need a new ride for 2027 even if it’s a flat ride.

Pirate Adventure probably could be done quite quick, if the ride is still their that could be marketed as a new ride
 
I think the big difference they need to really look at for next season is their food and drink offerings.
Like for starters as we been to Thorpe and Alton Towers this year they have unlimited vessels for £18 and they can be reactivated for £12.
Now to get more Annual pass sales they offer the vessel for free but you just pay for a day of refills but you get 20% off the price so if Drayton charge £10 to reactivate pass holders pay £8.
As for food offerings they should be trying to get visitors to visit the hotel restaurant which has freshly cooked meals.
They also need to offer a better selection of sandwiches and salads.
