Drayton Manor is a park which we think isn\u2019t spoken about enough and is home to some incredible rides. We hope you enjoy.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. The Haunting:<\/h2>\n

I am not a huge fan of madhouses except two one of which is The Haunting. I love anything spooky and this fills my needs beautifully. The actual swing is far from as sickly as the likes of Hex. So all told this is the strongest ride I think at Drayton Manor.<\/p>\n

2. Maelstrom:<\/h2>\n

One of the best flat rides in the UK by far. It offers airtime and forces therefore it\u2019s perfect. Of course we hope this ride stays for as long as possible.\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Apocalypse:<\/h2>\n

Okay, the terrifying factor of this ride aside let\u2019s talk about how fab it is. The most forceful drop tower we have ever experienced and quite literally one of the more terrifying at that. I actually tend to avoid it due to how badly it scares me therefore it\u2019s a fab ride.\"\"<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Accelerator:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The best family boomerang we\u2019ve experienced so far. It offers a fair bit of force really. Pops of airtime here there and almost everywhere. It\u2019s so much fun and even more so at night.\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Shockwave:<\/h2>\n

UKs only and I believe the only one in Europe too. Front row rides are where it\u2019s at for sure. It\u2019s truly gorgeous on the front row ignoring the horrendous zero g roll which is painful for everyone to experience. Plus it was our first ever thrill \/ looping coaster therefore forever has a special place in my heart.\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s your top 5 at Drayton Manor?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
