[@Stuntman707]

A unique ride in the UK, as well as being an Intamin with box section track. Shame Drayton is ditching this iconic ride from its logo. Drayton Manor is worth visiting to ride Shockwave and Apocalypse both standing up.

[@GeeVanderplas]

I was gonna say, that's an unconventional layout for a B&M, but makes sense if it is an Intamin.

[@jacob8299-s1o]

That zero g roll is so underrated and intense

[@StunnedByWrestling]

I think it's really underrated, probably doesn't help it was built the same year as Nemesis at Alton Towers and The Big One at the Pleasure Beach. Those two became household names in the UK, Shockwave not so much.

[@Stuntman707]

That sure was a golden year for UK coasters.

[@socal_haunts_and_parks]

What year was that? I think this was moved from Six Flags in CA.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

@@socal_haunts_and_parks It was built brand new in 1994 by Intamin for Drayton Manor

@@themeparkreview I’m a annual pass holder so I seen the highs and lows the park been thought over the past 10 years. But the new Adventure Cove area for last year and the new Viking area opening on Saturday it’s really looking good for the park with rumours of a big family coaster coming in 2024. I really hope they bring back the pirate Adventure as the building been nearly all stripped but the ride system and boats are still in the building.

[@polandcanintoearth5901]

Well if you think having your legs experience loads of G-forces and have them smooshed and (If your a boy) the restraints just uhh well...

[@kikicallahan3662]

We’re getting a new stand up coaster this year at Seaworld!

[@TheDneaves]

I hope the park gets another thrill coaster sometime. G-force wasn't really good imo, but it's another coaster we've lost in this country.

[@edwardlack2578]

Never had the opportunity to do G Force whilst it was around. I think now though the park is in good hands with The Looping Group, new area opening in a week or so with the UK's first Zamperla Nebulaz. Wouldn't surprise me to see a new thrill coaster go in in the next few years. I'd definitely class this park as more family though so I wouldn't expect anything insane.

[@arzovv]

with the way the park is going right now it seems certajn that there will be another coaster somewhere in 2024

[@amberblinkwcue0.0]

Went there today, had tons of fun and managed to get on the front row! Definitely my favourite ride. You do have seats, but that's just to steady you. It's mainly just standing.

[@lunatunakitty]

It reminds me of Batman The Escape at the former Six Flags Astroworld. It was one of my favorite coasters growing up. 💗

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

I never understood the point of screaming on Orion all you do is lose your voice and it doesn’t change anything and it makes you even more scared than you do that

[@themeparkreview]

I would rather have a shorter ride that packs a punch and leaves you out of breath than a longer ride that just meanders around the track and limps its way into the brake run.

[@b0ejens0n25]

The brakes and insane lol

[@jordansmith4775]

That looks like a fun ride but way too short

[@Upndouin]

It is a very old coaster and a novelty at that time. I agree with the length, it should be longer but it is so unique that makes the whole thing very special. I am yet to visit DM, been in the UK for 15 years and never been there. Glad it’s still operating, should be going soon :)

Shockwave at Great America was a sit down roller coaster with 7 inversions. This is a stand-up roller coaster with 4. "Shockwave" was a common name used by several parks for some reason, but the rides themselves are very different.
