ive heard a rumer that shockwave (still the only standup coaster in europe) may be demolished in 2010 to make way for a large new coaster

i know for a fact that 2010 will be seeing a new rollercoaster for drayton manor but what it will be i dont know but there are rumers from inside drayton manor that the future of shockwave may be in jeprody to bring a new large coaster to the park.

Haven't been there but I'd doubt that. Doesn't seem like that park has all that many coasters, and Shockwave seems atleast decent so I can't see why they'd demolish it.

They arent tearing it down just yet. Plus the Shockwave is the cornerstone of Drayton Manor. I'm sure that if they were to build a new ride it would be located of the other side of the lake in the empty fields

well i belive also that this isnt true in the slightest way. its an awsome coaster and is the corner stone of drayton manor indeed, i thought i had better tell people about it anyway.

they carnt build on the fields though, they belong to the manor house and not the theme park unfortunetly, y else do you think that they havent built on it before.

ohh and the hotel that drayton will be getting had been pushed back 1 year

SFMM there's a Togo standup called Shockwave at King's Dominion. I didn't particularly like it because of all the roughness and the boring last 1/3 but it's there.

i really could not see them getting rid of it, google earthing the park really showed me tho that they have no room. I think it'd be more efficient to use that parking lot to the east of shockwave, but then again there goes parking. Mabye something over the lake?

I can't see shockwave going tho.
