Thomas Land (General Area)

[The Hedgenator]

I think when the time comes for the Thomas sponsorship to expire the area should be rethemed to Rory and Lory the Drayton Manor,Lion,mascots. Rory and Lory could then have rides,restaurants and a purpose built meet and greet location themed to them.

Drayton Manor is one of only a few Theme Parks within the U.K to have Mascots. I think Drayton Manor should take advantage of this and create a Children’s area themed around Rory and Lory.

This area would be exclusive to Drayton Manor and unable to be replicated elsewhere.

I remember seeing construction signs with this on it ages back!! A shame this never came to be, but nice that Terence ended up returning home in the end.

They doing an event for his birthday. Wonder if it will be the same as the Feb event

Should Thomas Land add more rides based on other more unique stuff from Thomas/Railway Series characters completely unrepresented in that land like Culdee Fell Mountain Engines, Boco, D199, Bear and Duke to name but a few. Could easily make attractions based on them

I would love a diesel 10 and pinchy but I know that’s not relevant to today’s Thomas. I remember meeting diesel 10 as a kid when the movie was touring the country with meet and greats and it was low key scary.

I can see someone big happening in Thomas land for its 20th birthday in 2028.

Well all engines go has ended now for good but a Thomas and friends CGI movie is coming out in 2026 so if the CGI series comes back maybe more rides will be added to the park from the CGI series

Feel they missed an opportunity on Troublesome Trucks should of had the runaway theme

Wasn't able to grab a photo but Blue mountain engines looks to have a new sign, maybe mini refurb due to it's recent downtime.

The building needs some TLC it’s falling apart in some sections. I not been on that since 2023 as it was a perfect place to get construction updates for the log flume.
