Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted August 28, 2004 Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 28, 2004 Drayton Manor is awesome! Make sure you go on the thing that drops you, and do it standing up! Also, on the big water ride thing, sit at the back of the boat! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they're ickle domesticated cats that just roam about waiting to be fussed. There's a pure white one that's gorgeous!!!!!! The rest of the zoo id really smart too. It's well worth taking an hour or so out of the rides to take a look! I actually had the best day at Drayton manor of any of the theme parks in this country.

Kilteus Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Awwww, bless!!!! You big softie!! Yeah, Drayton Manor is deffo one of the best theme parks in the country. A lot more chilled out than somewhere like Alton Towers, but still has great rides. And of course that farm which you've now sold to me! So, is anyone else up for going???

L_T Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 you're right. I just hopw doodles can go. If she does she might drive, if not i don't know how i'd get there. Is there a train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilteus Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 I'm sure there is a train. I just have no idea what the station is!! If you go to the Drayton manor website, they should probably have a travel section. If you can't find anything, there's always the coaches. www.nationalexpress.co.uk or it might be .com. We wood give you a lift, but two of us are sharing seatbelts already!! Really hope you and Doodles can come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billybird Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 PW. Never mind - we'll try again another day. LT. Jay should have got in touch. She texted me to say she wanted to come. I have to phone her when we leave on Tuesday so we know what time to meet. I guess around 10.30ish. I'd offer to collect you but I already have six in my car. Sorry.

L_T Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Tickets are 16 pounds and you'll want some money for food, sovaniers(excuse spelling) and the arcade bits. I'd take about £30-£40. But you could live on £25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, on the big water ride thing, sit at the back of the boat! Mark Soz SM have to completely disagree with you. DO NOT go on Apocolipse, it's horrible. I went to DM last weekend. Great fun. I adore the big scarey rides but the huge drop was no fun at all, and when I got off this pain shot up my right leg. I hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Malestrom or something is a great ride. Not scary but still fun. Have a great day. I wish I could come cuz I live so close by, and I could get the bus there, but it's the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nell Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 ok so I guess people wont be coming to the Swindon meet on wednesday then. I cant afford to go to Drayton manor.
