    I only rode Apocalypse a couple of times back in 2019, but distinctly remember how scared I was waiting at the top, and how forceful the drop was. I definitely haven't gotten over my fear of drop towers yet, so maybe I need to start forcing myself on more in the future when the opportunity comes.

    Great job! I have only visited Drayton Manor once (in 2002) and really enjoyed my few hours I was there. I rode each side of the tower. Dropping while standing (floorless) is terrifying as I have done that on at a few different ones. Standing with a floor seemed to be even more of an experience for me. Not exactly sure why. Thanks for sharing a final look at this one-of-a-kind drop tower.

      I agree, standing with a floor packed the biggest punch, which was odd?

    If you want to ride the attraction again just go to Portaventura in Tarragona, Catalonia, it is the same but taller, faster and also standing seat, also same climing and the tilting

    I've never rode the Apocalypse, but it reminds me of the High Fall in Movie Park Germany. That one is really awesome! Also semi tilted, standing up without a floor. Definitely one of the best I've ridden

    As a former member of staff at the park and a supervisor I know what’s coming to the space where Apocalypse and Pandemonium once stood. I’m under no NDA to discuss said ride but I feel it would ultimately dampen the reveal of the ride for the management at Drayton Manor. What I will say is it will be a unique experience for the Britain.

      It's exciting to see Drayton Manor investing so much recently! By the new ride, I assume you mean the roller coaster that's heavily rumoured to be this: ruclips.net/video/a7zAaQ2vIok/видео.htmlsi=ylDNje9gx4NyhvNz
      We know it's made by Intamin and park executives called it a 'lift and launch coaster', so this fits the bill!
