As part of a brand new expansion at the Tamworth theme park, the Adventure Cove River Rapids has officially opened.
In addition to the new waveswinger attraction that has been running for over a week now and a new kids play area the river rapids open this week with a cartoon themed twist.
Take a journey through a cartoon fishing port and around a rapids course with sounds, sights and smells all around you.
A spokesperson from Drayton Manor said:
“Taking young-seafarers on a historical journey through a cartoon-style fishing port, the whole family can board the River Rapids on their very own boat around a rapids course, twisting and turning past vibrant painted shacks.
The new ride will also bring an exhilarating a sensory experience, immersing guests in the sounds and smells of the port.”
The theming is reminiscent of Universal’s Popeye’s Raging Rapids but a much more scaled-down version.
With beautifully themed pieces around the ride, it is a shame that the sides of the rapids trough weren’t themed also, that would have been the icing on the cake for me.
With that said it looks like a stunning attraction and the interaction it has with the Shockwave stand-up roller coaster is certainly a highlight.
William Bryan, managing director at Drayton Manor Park, said:
“We are so thrilled to finally open our Adventure Cove River Rapids ride.
“We know our guests have been eager to set sail on this exciting attraction, and we’re so pleased to see everyone enjoying Adventure Cove so far.”
