Me too. I only had to queue for Loki and Accelerator, all the other rides I did (thrill) were walk on!We went on Father’s Day as the park was very quiet. A lot of people celebrate this with meals and pub trips haha

That’s awesome . I’m unable to do the rapids as when I go there’s usually only 2 adults and my child who is under 1.2. As a result Drayton will not allow single riders onto the rapids and waiting for a group that leaves a space seat is pot luck.Me too.

I think the Height restriction is 2 high for the rapids it should be 1m or at most 1.1m as you got to go with an adult over 16 anyway to you 14 years old.That’s awesome .

I agree , I do understand it’s more of a precaution but with the boats as they are now, i do think the restriction is too high. Im pretty sure though they raised the height of the rapid and storm force after that little girl tragically lost her life.I think the Height restriction is 2 high for the rapids it should be 1m or at most 1.1m as you got to go with an adult over 16 anyway to you 14 years old.
In America where you do get soaked is based on height restrictions not ages.
Along with the safety regulations on rapids across the country too.I agree , I do understand it’s more of a precaution but with the boats as they are now, i do think the restriction is too high.

I think the motor was recently replaced (start of this season I believe). - don't quote me on that though, I'm not 100% sure (but sure I read it somewhere)I wouldn’t know , I always avoid maelstrom as I can guarantee I would throw up every time. The ride is old I can imagine the motors will begin to need a complete over haul. I know they do maintain them but surely there’s only so much maintenance you can do before having to need a new motor.

First time this season I've noticed this issue
I thought they were done with the queue line after they redid it last years closed season but I guess not.
They did the station and exit ramp but never got round to doing the main queue.I thought they were done with the queue line after they redid it last years closed season but I guess not.
Congratulations for tackling Maelstrom!In all my years of going to drayton I've always been petrified of maelstom but in the last few days we took our son for his birthday and his birthday wish was to get me on maelstrom...wish granted

I have never been so scared and I think the fear on my face is quite obvious
I couldn't walk straight after I'd got off and I genuinely felt drunk and I've not had any alcohol in more than 20 years!!
what an experience!!!!
Would you go on it again though?In all my years of going to drayton I've always been petrified of maelstom but in the last few days we took our son for his birthday and his birthday wish was to get me on maelstrom...wish granted
