This originally came from those who attended the RCCGB event on Sunday. Since there has been several people who claim a spokesman for Drayton Manor have also confirmed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s talk about G Force. It hasn\u2019t ever been a coaster which we&#8217;d rank all that highly nor one of our favourites. We enjoyed the unique offering it had such as an inverted lift hill. The coaster layout wasn\u2019t ever anything to scream &amp; shout about. It was short and the restraints were fairly uncomfortable. They seemed to crush your top bit of your thighs and hips. However during last year\u2019s Fireworks we managed to get a night ride on the front row which was fab.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7286\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7286\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7286 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EEEE358C-3332-40CB-8F7D-C9CC9AD22754.jpeg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EEEE358C-3332-40CB-8F7D-C9CC9AD22754-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EEEE358C-3332-40CB-8F7D-C9CC9AD22754-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EEEE358C-3332-40CB-8F7D-C9CC9AD22754-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EEEE358C-3332-40CB-8F7D-C9CC9AD22754-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">G Force -Drayton Manor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Drayton Manor over the years has become a more family orientated rather than thrill. Not to say they don&#8217;t have an offering for the thrill audience as they do but nothing new to the line up with this target audience in mind. But they do offer decent family rides and attractions which thrill seekers can also enjoy. Drayton is our local park we\u2019ve visited ever since kids.
