Drayton Manor Theme Park is planning a new thrill ride to be open for the 2024 season.

The new ride will be targeted at families.

Managing director Victoria Lynn revealed the plans in an interview with Birmingham Live: “We have a top-secret project that will be announced in a few weeks. One of the most important things we want to say is that there will be a new Family Thrill Coaster in 2024.

“In my opinion, this will be one of the best roller coasters in the United Kingdom.”

Plans are already afoot for the new coaster with the closure and removal of the much-loved Apocalypse stand-up free-fall tower.

The latest attraction is another demonstration of a fresh and reinvigorated Drayton Manor Resort since the park was taken over by the Loopings Group.
