FIRST EVER RIDE ON GOLD RUSH AT DRAYTON MANOR | New Roller Coaster | Preview Event Vlog | July 2024
After 18 months of filming construction updates from the Drayton Manor Resort, the brand new Intamin lift and launch coaster is ready to open and the Resort kindly invited me to a press event to get my first ever ride just before Gold Rush officially opens to the public on Friday 26th July.
Drayton put on a massive event with live music, dancers, roaming actors, even real horses all in the build up to us getting on the coaster for the first time.
I got 2 rides, both on different cycles. My full thoughts are in the video.
Who else is excited to ride the UK's newest roller coaster???

In this very short, final construction update I take 1 last look at the construction site as it's being prepared for the grand opening on Friday 26th July. As I say in the video - thank you so much for all of your support with these updates from Drayton Manor, I've loved making them and documenting how this coaster has come to life. My first ride on Gold Rush reactions will be out soon.

    Toverland named Efteling and Europa Park as their inspiration and the daughter 0f the owner even learned by working at Europa Park. They really took advantage of the knowledge these parks had to gain over decades for themselves to start their own themepark. 20 more years and Toverland will be the better Phantasialand. Learn from the best and create your own destinct style (as they`ve perfectly done in Avalon and Port Laguna). Toverland really is the themepark to keep an eye on, they will be getting greater over the upcoming years.

    Troy is my fav woodie as well! Front row is where it’s at for me and indeed the roughness is there, but it’s not *too* bad yet for me. I personally slightly prefer Rookburgh over Avalon but they’re my 2 fav theme park areas as well (I actually have Fenix ranked above Untamed and Taron because of how perfect it feels in the area and how perfectly sequenced it is and it shortness just adds to the re-ride value for me) I can’t wait for the future of this park hopefully they’ll add a world class darkride and then add something like a Vekoma or Mack hyper so that they have a true world class standout, that would make them a full on destination park I’d say.

    Well done on spotting the “recycled” boiler from Shockwave, you’re correct in saying that was put in place in 1994 and I removed it when G force was removed. As far as I have seen you are the only RUclipsr who has noticed or commented about this.

    Thanks for binging us that update, the theming for that coaster looks amazing, its good that they have managed to make use of old theming form other rides it gives a sense of nostalga for those that remember them. It looks like this is going to be a great family thrill coaster that all family members can enjoy. I think that Drayton Manor will be very popular this year. That flat area you pointed out would be great for a flat ride for the younger kids, maybe a small wagon wheel ferris wheel like the one at Flamingo Land or maybe a nice photo opportunity with landscaping or a shooting game, that Hillbilly game in Adventure Cove could be re themed and moved, i dont think it fits in that well with Adventure Cove. It might be worth you taking a look at Flamingo Land, they are re building their Lost River Ride and they are doing so at a fast pace so I think that ride could be opened by August.
