In a recent interview, Drayton Manor Resort‘s managing director Victoria Lynn has revealed plans to open “one of the best coasters in the UK” in 2024. Is the UK’s best coaster just around the corner?
This year see’s the introduction of a new ride in Thomas Land for Drayton Manor and a ‘top secret’ project is rumoured to be the big change to the Shockwave trains or the rumoured retheme of a certain area of the park but Drayton Manor have teased something very big in what is already an exciting year for thrill seekers in 2024.
2024 will see the introduction of a brand new family thrill roller coaster at Drayton Manor Resort and in Victoria’s opinion it’ll be ‘one of the best roller coasters in the UK’.
That’s quite the statement.
Rumours of a launch coaster have been doing the rounds on forums with both Vekoma and Intamin mentioned as potential manufacturers for this upcoming coaster.
No official confirmation from the park or even plans have been released at this stage but it’s a very exciting time for Drayton Manor as owners The Looping Group are piling the investment up for this Tamworth based park.
The Vikings land was a huge success and we can easily see this land being expanded in the near future.
There’s also the area where Pandemonium and Apocalypse once stood that now remains vacant which could actually be a part of the most logical Vikings expansion or it could be a new themed area altogether with Drayton going in the direction of beautifully themed areas moving forward starting with Adventure Cove and then expanding once again with Vikings.
With Nemesis returning, Project Exodus opening, the new Legoland duelling coasters and now this all opening in 2024, what a year it will be for coaster enthusiasts!
Whatever happens, the UK’s best coaster will be revealed in 2024, but who will take that crown?
Watch this space!
