Winston's Whistle Stop Tours

[Themeparksandy1981]

If you look at the year it was manufactured it was in 2018. Drayton’s opened in 2013. I would buy the cars off them as ours are in a bad condition. The roof use to go down on a few.

Most likely that this is the case yes Not uncommon for manurfacturers to do that

Removal of Winston would add nothing to the park and instead remove something from the lineup which doesn't need to go anywhere

The one in America closed down last year so it will be that one

I would love for them to extend it as I think it’s way too short for the queue it gets.

Someone on another forum recons it’s a US model using photos from drayton

Well it's definitely not from Drayton because the year of manufacture is 2018.

As nice an idea, I don't think we will see that happen

Extend the track and add an LSM launch and it would be great.

The ride would then last less than a min.

A few of the cars have had there roofs removed

Nice to see I haven't seen them off in years

Summer- drive edition? Nice

A couple of the roofs are back stage behind the dodgems building. You can see them to the left of the gate.

This was using ticketed time slots when we visited on Friday 10/04. Anyone know why?

Guess it was to try and control queue times as it builds quite a queue.
New system could have just been testing that.

Been told ticketed system as only running on 3 cars so can't handle many people.

Same with Maelstrom. They want to limit the amount if people queuing as half the ride can't be used at the minute

Not a bad idea in theory - Any idea if it works in practice?

I think it’s okay for now, but they need to be sorting out more cars for Winston and more seats for Maelstrom asap

Seemed to work on maelstrom. But on Winston there was only about 4 people in the queue for Winston any time we went.
