martinb Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 ^ Although I don't actually think there is a page 8, on page 7 its says at the bottom "click here to view Drayton Manor photos", where as it should say "click here to view page 8 of Alton Towers photos", and theres not many pictures on page 7 so I would prosume thats all of them. But I stiil can't see page 2 & 3 !!! -Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinb Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 WOO HOO, page 2 & 3 now working for me. When you lot head to Pleasurewood Hills,could someone let me know please if the Huss Condor has arrived yet, pretty please. On the Log Flume at PWH, the bottom of the 2nd lift hill is directly next to the bottom of the 2nd drop, if timed right you'll get just as wet as you do on Hydro and Tidal Wave. Just thought I'd give ya that little tip to remember -Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Drayton Manor Photos Are UP!!! http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/draytonmanor/draytonmanor1.htm Quite honestly, we didn't have the best of days at Drayton Manor. The place seemed a bit more run down since the last time we were there. G Force was kind of stupid and pointless. And I'm REALLY tired so here's some photos: G Force was only SLIGHTLY less pointless than the Screamin Squirrel Yeah, you got SOME airtime over this hill, but mostly...."meh" LOL! I didn't know parks ACTUALLY called them "Big Boy" seats!!! TPR takeover on the Dragon Wagon!!!! Apocolypse is what it's ALL about! Ok. Let's just READ this sign on Shock Wave. Ok....you reading? Done yet? Ok, so yes it really DOES say "Loud and Unnecessary screaming." "Loud and unnecessary." WTF does that mean? So can I scream or not? Or do I have to scream like Derek? Or is that unnecessary (well, duh!) This could very well be the STUPIDEST rule I've ever seen at a park! And, oh yeah...they have Shock Wave too.... Overall, a pretty "meh" day. Somewhat crappy, but it could have been worse. Go check out the rest of the photos: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/draytonmanor/draytonmanor1.htm --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOne Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Wow...a "No Fun" park! Bummer that the X-car coaster stunk...it looked pretty sweet from pictures. The best part of this update was the "E-Mail Dan" subject line. Hilarious! -Bryan "not a huge fan of water rides, but will ride the good ones" Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterviper Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 OMFGZ!! No unnecessary screaming??? WTF it's an amusement park!! Unnecessary breathing of air will close the earth and may result in you being shuttled off the planet!! You may be put into space! We are trying to cut down on air consumption due to complaints about the ozone growing and global warming!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Drayton have a similar to problem to Alton Towers. They have "locals".... ¬.¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Well, I hope the next park is a lot better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Still LMAO at the "big boy" seats. And Robb, they probably didn't call them that until they came across this website. That G-Force does look kind of dull, I like X-car concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 So what's the point of the upside down lift hill ....anyway it still looks fun, i'd take being at Draytor Manor any day over being here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Wow, there was definatley a "harsher" tone with today's batch. I hope the park realizes how rediculous some of their rules are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 The uneccisary screaming rule is so stupid. But how can they tell if its unnecesary? Anyway, if you guys like Apocolypse, you'd like Hurukan condor. Its got sit down, and stand up floorless tilting, and its bigger. Ryan P.S, I thought there was a tonne more rides there!

disneyfan1313 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 when do we get to see some POV's or any videos ? Probably after Robb and Elissa finish wrangling 50+ people, fly home and get a weeks worth of sleep.. Don't forget folks - what they are doing is not easy and putting up photos during their trips is wonderful and very time consuming. Cut 'em some slack!
