Drayton Manor standard price list for 2012

[Lofty]

Yeah, but one that's not got excessively cheap effects and slowly raising bats

A retheme of Pirate Adventure to Thomas land could work really well. Thomas land is obviously the main money-bringer for the park.

 

[Lofty]

What could a water ride be themed to in correlation to Thomas? I'm genuinely asking, could this be possible?

^Pirates attack Thomas and Friends.

I'm secretly gutted about Pirate Adventure going

At least you got the cred...

A simple river ride around Sodor. The children can see all their favourite characters hard at work.

Someone has set up a campaign on FB to save Pirates Adventure:

Well, with 17 "likes" and such literate, well-balanced and thought out arguments from the likes of "Jo Kyles Mummy Gaynor", how could they fail?

No they cant take this away its my fave ride from when I was a kid :O( x

Huh? It's NOT a kid that wrote this?

they cant get rid of thios ride it s wicked

Indeed, Jo Kyles Mummy Gaynor. Indeed.

I actually feel asleep on that ride lol.

Poor Pirate Adventure, I'll just remember last year's Live where it decided to absolutely soak me instead of Ian (from Coasterforce)...

It's in a right state, and it might make much more sense for them to revamp it to something competely new (if they keep the ride in place) or just scrap it for a new dark ride...

Yay coaster though...

Apparently Drayton has reduced the price of Adult & Toddler tickets from £25 to £18 until 20th July. Now these are only valid Monday to Friday so it looks like they're trying to boost guest figures in the week by doing this. Doesn't really compensate a lot for the price hike of all the other tickets though.

 

[T0M]

Thinking of going Friday daytime before a concert in Brummingham. I can't find a 2 for 1 voucher anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know of any? I'm guessing you can't buy adults tickets for £18 on the gate without a toddler with you :lol:

 

[Mysterious Sue]

Why are they taking out pirate's for god sake? It's a great little ride. Alright, it's not Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was still one of the country's only decent dark rides!

Couldn't give two hoots about Excalibore though

 

[T0M]

I saw some yogurts featuring my namesake locomotive in Sainsburys tonight and got a 2 for 1 from that.

I dont know if this is just for this summer only, but Drayton have slashed their prices, and scrapped the parking charge;

^ Yep, saw that earlier. A very nice move, especially as visitors will be looking for the best value day out under the current circumstances

It'll all be down to the weather. People just don't want to leave there house at the moment, so the park will be suffering and need to get people in. Cutting prices is a way to do that. Do Drayton normally do 2-4-1 vouchers? If so, then this is no cheaper.

That "rainy day guarantee" should get a few people through the gates as well, though most of the poor bastards won't have read the terms and conditions and realised what a non-offer it actually is.
