6:34 I remember going on this when I was young, I miss this ride 😢

The buffalo is in this kids tv show called Brum I Love Brum When I Was A Kid. Thanks Callum. X

My dad was a good friend of george Bryan, he went to school with him and helped him fix some stuff

Drayton needs a new coaster.

Ben 10 ultimate mission rethemed to accelerator this year

Draytor manor needs more rides

Splash Canyons reputation is dead... R.I.P. 1993-2017

Great vid, however missed a whole piece of Draytons history out. Soundstage theatre was added in 2000 that housed the Popeye show for 2 years and then housed several very popular circus shows. There was also a circus big top for several years that housed large scale circus shows featuring international artists. Magical Christmas and the castle of dreams is also worth a mention.

They need a amazing coaster to put Drayton on the map maybe a B&M Hyper or Gerstlauer Infinity

Really love these videos, this park has a real big history!

Nice Video Callum! I've never been to Drayton Manor but I will still watch the Vid :)

I love how ur replying to all people that comment I think your video is very good and hard work has gone into it

Well pirate adventure was closed for maintenance and I have heard it is being moved but I think they will remove it from the park. Pandemonium is closed because they can't find the right part at the moment to get it working again but when they do hopefully it will re open. Stormforce ten is closed for maintenance and a re paint because it hasn't been done up for over ten years! 😱😱 And splash canyon is obviously closed because of the incident that happened with the girl who stood up to change seats whilst the ride was going then fell off and drowned. The ride was completely safe the girl just shouldn't have stood up. I loved the sombreros so much then it got closed down I was so sad. But it's so weird to see some rides I have personally been on and now they have gone. Then I look at the year and think wow that was really a couple of years ago! Shocking😱 Great video 😁

Really good to know, thanks Callum!

your Historyvideos are so awesome!:)

This channel makes me very nostalgic

I'm a bit late but a well deserved 1000 subs for you! Congrats mate!

I'm going on Monday and I'm super excited last time I went was 2016

R.I.P. Sombrero 1998-2010

1:02 This Music Is So Funky. I've Loved Disco Dancing Fever. Thanks Mate. X

great video keep up the good vids

Great vid Callum as usuall keep up the good work I would request island of adventure history please

I work for Drayton mannor and it's nice to know the history of the rides I'm working on . Good job :D

I love your intro and I also love the video.

Brilliant video!

I genuinely couldn't swear to it but that looks like my dad in the splash canyon ride! I used to go there every year for my birthday. Great video, it brings back lots of memories.

Drayton Manor was my go to theme park in my early years of growing up in the midlands. It was only about 20 minutes or so drive from where I lived in Castle Bromwich. Living in Devon since 94, in the last 5 years I have revisited the old park with my wife and step son. My step son had never experienced a theme park with half decent rollercoasters. He was use to Devon parks like Crealy and Cornwall’s Flambards, both very very tame and less thrill rides more family park fun. He loved both visits to Drayton Manor and we now prepare our first trip for the both of us to the UK Coaster Capitol that is Thorpe Park in September. Drayton Manor is a great place but it really could do with a couple of big, high speed coasters to at least make a noise towards the bigger theme parks in the Uk. Drayton Manor, if I’m right, has enough land to put together two absolute stonking coasters!

Drayton Manor NEEDS a launch coaster.

Nice video - I seem to remember a Jungle Cruise before Excalibur. It’s a shame the lake there is no longer used for a ride. I can only imagine the trouble they have maintaining the animatronics and such though!

Great vid been waiting for this, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is one I'm looking forward too! Realise it might not be too soon as the history predates 1900😂

Noice vid pal

R.I.P. Original Dodgems 1952-1989

I was upset when Sombrero closed, it used to be my favourite ride

So, can you make a video of Drayton Manor Resort History 1949 - 2024 please?

Hope fully there's a new rollercoaster with 20+ loops that would be amazing😂😘

Spent many many hours here in my youth, namely Neptunes Amusement Centre through the 80s

R.I.P. Junior Carousel 1986-2007

Like your channel

Cool

We need a big coaster like the ones at Thorpe Park

R.I.P. Lunar Carousel 1986-2007

R.I.P. Cadbury’s Junior Pirate Ship 1986-2007

R.I.P. Kiddie Concorde Jets 1986-1997

I remember my mom used to take me as a kid. I used to love the tea cups, dragon rollercoaster, big slide, buffalo rollercoaster, snake train, and the Jungle Cruise ride! Also what was the New Orleans boat ride?

What is the song?

The Flying Dutchman is closed now. i went to Drayton Manor on saturday and it's all taken to the ground with fencing around it. I loved that ride!😭

I think Pirates Adventure will re-open. When I was there last, about April, it just said closed for maintenance so it doesn't seem like they want to close it. As for a new coaster? I don't believe we will. I love Drayton Manor as it's my local theme park, but I just don't think they really care too much about teens and adults. They could do with replacing the Buffalo coaster with a Maurer Söhne spinning coaster. One like Spinball Whizzer would be great.

Could you please make a history video of funland at hayling island? There have been quite a few removals and additions. Please can you make it?

Drayton Manor in 1986-1987: Exists Kiddie Rides: It's free Real estate

Awesome frome A J

I know it's not very popular but could you maybe do one on M&Ds in Scotland?

R.I.P. Paratower 1986-1997

0:17 who loves the intro song

it's rumoured that the buffalo coaster will be replaced by a coaster of some kind

R.I.P. Cleo 1986-1997

It's good to see a history video on my local park, got some new stuff I didn't know, I'm going tomorrow :D

Where is that at

R.I.P. Excalibur 2003-2012

It was a fun classic theme park with a various number of attractions and rides. It had everything from a classic carousel, haunted house, roller-coaster. The best chicken and curly fries I think I ever ate. Now it's turned into some frightening adult man-baby's toy train fetish paradise for paedos.

2021: Pandemonium closes 2022: a viking area opens 2022: Apocalypse closes

In 2009 a discover Thomas exhibit opened featuring props from the original Thomas show. Of course they have to treat them like toys though. ONE OF THEM WAS STOLEN, AND ANOTHER WENT MISSING!!

Dont know where youve made half of these dates up from? I used to work there. The vintage cars were there in 1979 for example. I know I used to operate them.

Uhh what about their new themed areas Adventure Cove, Vikings and Thomas Land's newest ride, James and the Red Balloon??

I'm going to Drayton Manor end of June. Never been before. What's it like Callum mate?

Cool from mood springs

Dose anyone know the song at the end?

The teacups reanamed to drunken baralls

I think you missed out the ice age theatre by the flying dutchman

Itd be nice for an update now we in 2022!! What rides have been and gone again 😕 I loved going cos me and my family used to take our touring caravan under the big cedar trees 🌳 it was like being in America to us as kids in the forest and walking distance to the rides. Fazeley had a great chippy on the road towards DM

I was there in 2009 18 years old 11 years ago when Thomas land was open that was the year I went on Sombrero and Black Revolver twice before the year it was shut down. Shame but it was a waltzer in the dark ride and many people got motion sickness or had other issues like scared of the dark or lights and fits which did not make the experience fun at all. But I hope a new coaster comes to the park next year.

They've started dismantling Flying Dutchman I went there today. G force was also closed

Shock wave, Poberelo express and Terrace's driving school are closed for maintenance

I can't wait 😃 I'm going to draghton manor tomorrow ! (Sorry is I spelt draghton manor wrong 😒)

I think Drayton manor needs something like icon a mack coaster or a gerstlaur infinite coaster

I've been on pandemonium ,apocalypse ,storm force 10 and troublesome trucks and lots of ones I went when I was 9 I am now 11

Well it’s 2018 and Ben 10 turned to accelerator

I really want to go to the UK

what is the intro music?

i've never been to drayton manor, is it as good as thorpe park and alton towers?

R.I.P. Tea Cups 1986-2004

Needs an update. Chairlift is closed. G-force has wrong date and is closed Ben 10 renamed

R.I.P. Waltzer 1965-1979

INTRO?

I've been calling for a Floorless conversion of Shockwave to help contemplate some kind of investment but I do think that a new coaster should be in the pipelines. Now G Force is closed, I say replace it with a new Gravity Group Woodie or a Vekoma Suspended Thrill Coaster concept

R.I.P. Log Flume 1981-1998

Am a bit to late now but they have closed the g force I asked why it wasn’t on and they said they didn’t want to use it anymore so the will be making a new ride

The mansion was lived in by Sir Robrt Peel who eventually became priminister. I think there were 7 Robert Peel's, the fourth one loved fast women and gambling he spent all the money and the house went into disrepare so got demolished. The Snake train was brilliant fun. I remember a curly haired man used to drive a small but very fast tractor with a couple of carts attached to the back around a small course, in and out the trees, it was real fun. No Health and safety back then, you just held on for dear life. Good times 💞

Shockwave doesn’t sound very safe to be a rollercoaster because you’re supposed to be sat down not stood up

I went there last month and they where starting to build something in the field next to the Buffalo Coaster I wonder what I will be ?

R.I.P. Pirate Ship 1983-2003

I remember g force I loved it and hated it at the same time and I’m looking forward to Drayton manor’s future

I went the other day with school

Anyone remember the caterpillar trail?... it was still there early 90's 🤣

R.I.P. Cyclone 2003-2005

whats vertigo gonna be?

2016- Drayton queen boat closed 2016- Storm force 10 & Pandmoniem close at end of season temporarily for maintenance 2017- James and the red balloon opened 2017- Ben 10 rethemed to Acerelator 2017- Splash canyon closes temporarily because of incident 2017- Chair lift closed 2017- Big wheel closed 2018- golden nugget shootout rethemed to Sheriffs showdown 2018- yoga bear changed into Ice age 4d show 2018- Storm force 10 & Pandmoniem reopen after maintenance 2018- G force closed 2019- ?

R.I.P. Junior Combat Star 1986-1997

RIP Pirate Adventure :(
