yes dear friends i went to the opening of the new ben10:ultimate mission rollercoaster at drayton manor and to my surprise got invited into the VIP area for the opening by someone my sister knew that drinks in the bar she works in. it was a brill opening with fireworks, fire, music and a dance duo called twist & pulse. but im shure you would all like photos.
the first thing i see as im entering the park is track, not somthing i expected however it seems that Vekoma have replaced half the 2nd spike in the last 48 hours because the train coulent make it back through the 1st half of the ride and they had to make it quicker which ment a new spike
a very pretty building, properly like a lab
1st spike and the 2nd new spike all with an audio track too
the whole coaster and bulding blend perfectally and really work well
twist and pulse the dance duo opeing the coaster and performing for us too
all this part of the track has been reworked and not even finnished painting yet, that is to be finnished befor the public opening on saturday. but being in the VIP area i have already riden it. the pre show wasent finnished but was cool and the ride itself is very very good for a kiddie coaster and the soundtrack added to the experience
YO what up bro
this reporter took a photo of me so i took a photo of him, for some reason he gave me a very wierd look, carnt imagen why?
its a family run park and heres half the family. opeing in 1950 by the older chap so the park is 61 years old. he is 90 and his son how runs it. there was 4 generations of this family at the park and i think thats a heritage to be really proud of
here i am in the VIP area taking photos of twist and pulse doing the ribon cutting and listening to the mandatory speach by the owner
and the 1st official ride is in progress with fireworks n'all
just a great ride for the park IMO, not to intence but not as kiddyish as troublesome trucks. one for all the family to enjoy. th13teen is still way better but this is about the same level but marketed correctally
oviously fire and smoke makes everything better
then twist and pulse get up on stage to do there thing. great thing also for drayton is this was for the VIPs then they performed on the satge a few hours later once the event was over for the public. what a great thing for drayton to do for its guests
rides for all ages great and small
you aproch this 1st corner at a good pace too then dissaper between buildings, the hole sensation of speed is a good thrill
the last few riders in the station befor they shut it and continued to finnish it, it did annoy quite afew people from the public with one women being ejected from the park for hitting a staff member however it is advertised as being open to the public on the 23rd of april not the 21st.
a genral overview from apocolypse plus you can see how busy the park was.
information is informative
the logest line for pirate adventure i have ever seen, seriously
dont any of you forget all my speling is always correct
i know its blury but it makes this pirate look cool and spooky
wild west shootout is the most pathetic shooting ride ever and i have one big question about the cars, WHY DO THEY HAVE MUD FLAPS!!!!
G-force was down for the hole morning and i know why, i watched the center connecting bar between the trains break in testing. seriously. when it was running in the afternoon it ovioulsy had a completely diffrent one on there
me trying to be artistic, yeah i know it sucks right
trains with faces, you know what that means... yeah to many donuts are sending me high again
"who said donuts"!!!!
"ummm... i think dave said it"
aww shes so cute when sleeping. shen shes tearing apart a piece of meat no so cute
im american, im not doing anything for you british basterds
the new discover thomas experience is an exact replica of the set they use to shoot thomas the tank. actually a really cool thing to see but its located right at the back of the zoo where hardly anybody goes
tail balanceing is an art
is hes as cool as cool5?
gay bird dosent think so
i wish more parks would use proper steam engines not the dresed up diesel ones
G-force is up and running again and guess what, i hate it. id rather get brain damage from rideing the ultimate 10 times in a row at the front than go on this POS once
shockwave was supporting newly painted trains and new restainghts that didnt crush your nuts. yes still draytons best coaster
horriable but very photogenic
but the public seem to like it so it carnt be all bad
just incase you forgot where this TR is about
the best park swing ride ever. huss frisby is best one ever but its a traveling ride so this is deffo my NO1
more of the low life public enjoying G-force, yes your all below me im a VIP today
look ma, NO airtime whatsoever. seriously it sucks ass
for the park with a shop that has everything.... tampax
just a pretty photo ok, now move along
looking back at ben10 from over the lake waiting in the 2 and a half hour que from stormforce 10. thats 2 rides that end with 10 in the park
i think this is the best park huss pirate ship around, its always on a really good program and is pretty powerfull too.
stormforce 10 makes all women wet
look its another really good ride tucked away in the park thats seriously undervalued. its so well themed plus
GERMAN HOTNESS!!!!!!!
i once asked the owner about this ride and that it didnt seem to fit in with the area of the park and he replyied with "you dont thing hot women and beer fits in with our park?" to that end i shut the hell up
if you need a super poop theres a super loo
again i suck at artisitc photots
blue train does the only standup zero-g roll in the world
more artistic crap from me
for some reason this ride looks alot bigger in photos than it really is
there was a hour que for this, A FECKING HOUR QUE
i like the view of the loop from across the lake, it rides so awsomely and looks insanely cool too.
the final picture is of the drayton queen, the original one that was a fun house but was closed 15 years ago due to safety, i have been on this the year it closed but they wont demolish it because its haunted, seriously thats the reason.[:D]
hope you enjoyed my photos and reading though my trip report.
again ben10 is a great ride for the park and i will have more photos later this year once cartoon network street, the retheme of the haunting and the cleanup of the whole area is finished.
