Last time I went drayton was when g force was still open 😭 I did go on shockwave then but I enjoyed it a bit? It was different and it made drayton more unique but with it now sit down it removes the tag line that brought more people there, well thats in my opinion i guess. Anyways, great vlogging Theo!! ❤
I've only ever been to Drayton Manor 3 times in my life - each time, during a school field trip. Personally, I never found it as great as Alton Towers. I do give credit that DM is one of the oldest theme parks in the UK. But for starters, very few rides over there I found truly exciting i.e. The Apocalypse, the log flumes (which are always fun) and this one. I do hope it doesn't end up like how American Adventure was during its final years when only the little kiddies rides were spared. And speaking of rides at DM, aside from what I mentioned, most of them seemed like those mini rides (well the Speedy Gonzales one wasn't too bad) one would typically see in a carnival. Not to mention that section that revolves around that kids' show about talking trains which no teenager may want to enter unless they got pissed or something. That being said, it's good that the park's still operating.
Hold on, now the rides listed in the old theme song aren’t at the park anymore. None of them. Pirates, gone. Splash canyon, re themed, different name, I’m counting it as gone. Shockwave, now a sit down, so new coaster.
To be fair, smoothness or comfortability aside, this ride has lost basically all of its uniqueness. Its only selling point was the stand up trains, and they got rid of them. Haven’t ridden it yet, but I don’t have to to know that this ride isn’t one I’d travel for.
Shockwave or the wave 👀
I’ve never experienced both but I guess shockwave because it’s standup
Shockwave is better
Shockwave
Shockwave
The wave

Great vlog dude
Rumour has it that Pirate Adventure is having work done on the inside
👀I've seen this.... very interesting!
I have said this on other vlogs. It needs two trains it takes way too long to despatch.
I like that the wave has made shockwave smoother more air time and still a thrilling ride and more comfortable
Fair enough! It's much smoother!
Thrilling? I wouldn’t believe you were an enthusiast if you showed me you had a Merlin platinum annual pass.
@@gamingandcraftswithlogan8714 people who have ridden it has said it’s more thrilling than shockwave ever was
@@themeparkplanet3210 I’ve ridden both. It isn’t.
I rode twice on Monday.. way better!!!!! Lap bars smooth.. not getting your head smashed in!! Excellent head chop moment…. Such an improvement
Fair enough! It's a lot smoother and comfier!
I dunno i've never done shockwave, or inversions in general until nemesis reborn
Maybe soon!

Its defiantly gained in smoothness and comfortability but in uniqueness... there's not much!
It is a downgrade as it is now twice as restrictive as the old shockwave trains
Do miss the uniqueness of Shockwave!!
First 2 minutes
THANKS so much!
