Love this place! We used to visit every year with our school back in the 90s. A few years back, I took my daughter there in May. The weather was a bit off, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The park was pretty empty, and although some rides were closed, we were the first ones on whenever they opened. No lines for the roller coasters meant we could ride them over and over again. Hands down, one of my best theme park experiences ever - all without the usual wait!

Gaby and Tim that was fun and enjoyable video. It will even get more exciting as Casper gets older and can experience the parks. I began taking my two little ones when they could walk and have a fun time. Even the kiddie coasters as soon as they are ready. They still love them today, I guess it’s never too soon to start.

My local theme park. Last visited here at Christmas 2016 (got reduced rate tickets through work) and spent all our time in Thomasland as our kids were young then. As we don't drive, travel by local bus here is difficult (there used to be a 116 that stopped at the entrance, but that was withdrawn years ago and the 110 involves a walk down a dark lane!). If your interested, the reason Thomasland is here and not at any other UK theme park is because Drayton Manor is the closest one to Thomas's birthplace. The Rev W Awdry devised Thomas for his second Railway Series book whilst he was working at St. Nicholas Church in Kings Norton, Birmingham which is at the other end of the M42 (junction 2 is the closest exit, follow the signs for Cadbury World!).

@@Proman476The family who used to own this theme park (until last year, when they sold it to Looping Group) unfortunately suffered badly from repair costs from repeated floods of the property and the drama that happened as a result of the death on the rapids ride (not the fault of the staff, or the ride, but it was due to rider error - still the theme park got in trouble). Hence, financial investment in the park was poor for years before selling to Looping Group and we lost great rides like Pirates Adventure.

We only live 15 minutes away and invested in a season pass, it was always quiet and they got on all their favourite rides - such good times!

Wow, this one brought back so many memories ! My parents used to take my younger brother and I to Drayton Manor now and then, after much persuasion on our part, our Dad hated the place ! Too expensive even back in the 1960's. In fact, to avoid paying the admission price for my brother and I he would drive around the corner, find a gap in the surrounding hedge and push us both through ! As you might imagine it was very different back then, no huge roller coasters of course and it certainly wasn't a theme park.. One of our favourite rides was a train pulled by a fast tractor type vehicle which travelled at high speed, well we thought so anyway, on a very curvy lane through a heavily treed area. Those were the days !!

You should visit the Efteling some day! I think it'd be right up your alley, being a mix of rides, immersive theme, and beautiful landscaping (and some classical rides like a carrousel from around 1900!). Definitely go on a weekday outside of (Dutch) school holidays, though - then the queues tend to be only about 15-30 minutes for most rides,. It's also definitely a two-day park, if you want to visit the fairytale forest as well.

I agree withGabby, there should be one price for all. People save to go to these places and cannot always afford to pay more for them and it’s not fair on everyone else, also it’s just another gimmick for them to make more 💰 money. Love the vlog though as always…..Thumper is the cutest btw 😍😍

used o go there in the early 90s camping at the campsite that used to be there with my family and before the fair was fenced in at night we go round the fair searching for glass coke bottles because you used to get 5 pence per bottle when handed back which would use the money in the arcade

I've always felt Alton Towers to be the better park. I went there last summer for my first Rollar Coaster ride. Never Again! Went on all of them but The Smiler. Love the videos.

Hi all. Love your vlogs you’ve been doing. I don’t really like theme parks I’m the person who goes and holds all the coats for everyone 😂…but…I did like the look of that theme park and there’s different rides I think I would go on. I loved the Thomas park and the train ride’s that take you around the park. Just a shame they make the prices so high for a family day out. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog.

This looks like a really neat place to go. Going on a weekday when it isn’t school trip day would be the only time I’d consider going because I just can’t imagine spending a whole day there, spending a 1/3 of the time in a queue (when I can’t stand for long periods of time. Theme parks are not disability friendly), and only getting on maybe five rides! I stopped going to our modest theme park for the same reason. I don’t think there’s really anything they can do about it (I agree with Gaby that fast passes just seem unfair) but it does stop me from choosing to go (that and the ungodly cost).

Used to take the kids quite a lot when they were younger, was a nice family friendly theme park. Only thing is the ques in the summer holidays. Personally would prefer to pay a little bit extra if they theme park limited the amount of people allowed in so no que should be ever over 30 mins or stay open longer, 8pm in the summer should be standard.

There’s a bit of a cringe inducing running joke amongst me and my cousins because of this place. My uncle took us to DM once and I for some reason got obsessed with the Excalibur river ride and rode it over and over again until my cousins got sick of it and laugh at me now because of it

You should have gone after the summer hols finish as the park will be extremely quiet then. I'll be going in September (last visit was a couple of years ago on a really busy day like yours) and it'll be nice to get on everything without the queues. 🙂

I went here on a school trip, it was fun but I don’t think Viking land existed then. There was only one rollercoaster open, the stand up one which was fun but as someone who loves rollercoasters I was disappointed with the fact that there was only one. The only ride with a long queue was the drop tower.

They do fast pass but you have to get it from customer services. They have different tiers at different prices but it is worth the money on a busy day.

Falling into a loophole here. 13:32 after an incident where a girl stood up and fell in, the ride was actually abandoned for a bit. Then they refurbished it but turned it down. Sadly alot of parks have been turning the fun water effects off because people unbuckled and standup.... which I don't understand why you don't want to get wet on a water ride.
