Theme park launches nautical-themed attractions
Drayton Manor Theme Park, has announced a new, nautical-themed area that includes a host of new improvements and attractions.
The new Adventure Cove area will be a nautical themed zone, with fun add-ons to some of the park 's most-loved family-favourites, and a selection of new rides and attractions.
The new area offers a bright and colourful coastal feel for coaster fans and families, with barrels, boats and steering wheels aplenty.
The first of many attractions to be announced in the park is the new River Rapids ride.
The young and young-at-heart will be taken on a journey, through a cartoon-style fishing port, on their very own nine-person boat around a rapids course, past vibrant painted shacks and seafarers.
Family-favourites such as Shockwave have also been painted in a vibrant rainbow of colours, bringing a fresh and fun atmosphere to the area.
A riveting light-house rescue mission awaits guests for Stormforce 10 on this wild, white-knuckle ride like no other.
Stormforce 10 fans will also be thrilled with the painting of the iconic tower, creating a dramatic view over the lake.
The new Adventure Cove area is set to open in stages from spring 2021, with more attractions to be announced in due course.
The new addition is the first investment phase from new owners, Looping Group, who are aiming to introduce new elements to the park 's family-friendly offering.
William Bryan, managing director at Drayton Manor Park, said: “We are so excited to welcome visitors back to the park, and introduce them to Adventure Cove this summer!

“We are working closely with our local contractors and are hugely grateful to both them and the support of Looping Group for this new development.
“It 's especially exciting for us to the be able to launch the new Adventure Cove area, along with number of new rides and attractions for families and coaster fans alike.
