VIKINGS Is OPEN! Drayton Manor NEW For 2022 Themed Area

VIKINGS at Drayton Manor is now officially OPEN! In this vlog I take you on a full tour of this brand new themed area. This vlog includes footage of all 4 rides located within Vikings including Thor, Sleipnir, Jormungandr and Loki, the UK's first Zamperla Nebulaz! Along with that I capture the awesome atmosphere and theming throughout the area including roaming Vikings, fantastic photo opportunities and much more. I also check out the menu at the new Walhalla restaurant located in the area!

Hi Shaun, it was so lovely to meet you yesterday at the entrance of Vikings, you really are a genuinly lovely person! Also, thank you for agreeing to have your picture taken with our 5 year old son, you made his day. As I said yesterday, he watches your channel every single day so we kind of feel like we know you and Charlotte personally 😊 wishing you all the very best with your channel and life in general, and will continue to keep you both in our prayers. God bless, from the Bayliss family ❤🙏🏻

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to see you! Thank you for your kind words!

[@somethingsinister8493]

Shawns suggestion to make the spikes of the Zamperla Disco into the points of a viking long boat is such a brilliant idea, and it wouldn't be too expensive to build, even a simple wooden structure in that shape would look great, I would love to see it.

[@PendelSteven]

Technically it's a Disk'O though. But yeah. Okay.

[@somethingsinister8493]

@@PendelSteven I'm glad you got that off your chest.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would look great!

[@ThemePark-TV]

I agree with your suggestion to theme the ends of the zamperla like a Viking longboat!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would look awesome!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Ohhh boy it's looking fantastic. Well done Drayton Manor, loved following the construction. Great to see everyone enjoying the new area and rides. I'll definitely be checking it out in the next few months. 👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s fantastic to see!

[@iitzfizz]

looks like every where's getting new flat rides, apart from Towers! there's lots a great new ones to pick from would love to see it happen soon!

Love it I was there yesterday and I don’t know what is better adventure cove or Viking’s.😂😂😂

[@punkykarooney2912]

Wow This is amazing for Drayton Manor, What a great turnout at the opening day for the New vikings attractions, its great seeing the visitors enjoying themselves exploring the New attractions and rides too, I’m actually surprised how quickly this section of the park has been transformed by the management New investments, I guess you were overwhelmed with excitement being here for this opening Day after having so many behind the scenes experiences witnessing at first hand the New construction works, layouts ride installations plus much more to mention, I did however enjoy your 3 series Drayton Manor’s Vikings attraction updated videos, I must admit I love your enthusiasm, admire your positivity even your opinions first impression of the vikings attractions expressions your views overall, Hey Shawn I did love the small christmas trees that were in the planting lol The theming throughout was really nice I love that New ride Loki, It’s very satisfying to watch also the mechanical structures

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great to see such a fantastic new area open at the park!

[@travelwalkstv]

Great informative vlog Shaun. Enjoyed watching this.

[@andrewbrazier5984]

Wow I can't wait to visit it's my local park and so glad they are investing and growing the park so it makes me think WHATS NEXT lol maybe a coaster time will tell 👍

Great Vlog! I'm glad that Drayton Manor made a new area themed to vikings!

[@WilliamMaes2809]

I went to drayton manor on Friday, and I was so pleased I got to experience the new area before it was meant to open. Great video as always!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a great new addition!

[@seany84uk]

This area does look great and its amazing to see how far the park has come along in the past few years! I hope we see a new large family themed coaster for next year to keep things on the up!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great to see! I’m sure there’s more exciting plans ahead!

[@ben-drums.]

Good selection of family rides, but being a thrillseeker, I wish there was more thrill rides at Drayton Manor.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you for letting me stop you to take a picture with my kids, they were so happy to see you there yesterday! 😃

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@jakeclarke3617]

What a great area. This is my favourite area of the park and Thor and Loki are my favourite rides at the park. The soundtrack to this area is great too.

[@marybradley7791]

I think this area looks great and you have made me want to visit. I went to the adventure cove area last year and enjoyed the new water ride. I am glad that Drayton are expanding their food range, I had a hot dog from Humble Pie last year and it was,nt great. I thought you might like to know that the funfair at Doncaster has got a small suspended coaster called Superheros I dont know if you have done that one or not, it looks like a kids ride. They also have a topspin, tagada, freak out, booster, Oygen (like an enterprise) pony treck ride, crazy bulls, waltzer, dogems, sizzler, fun house and games and junior rides. Can,t wait for your next vlog.

[@stopghoztingaround4112]

Loving the new theme to Drayton. I can't wait to see what more they add in the future, it's rlly exciting as i live not too far away from the park

[@bronialovell7109]

I love the fact that the Park has continued to introduce more Seating areas, adjacent to some of the rides. It becomes so much much more inclusive, if you're a non-rider, and, want to be part of the action. Haven't been for a long time, however, following your Vlog, intend to return. Cheers Shaun! 👍

It’s great to see!

Yay I’m definitely gonna come there!

I was gutted to hear that they were getting rid of the drop tower apocalypse. However after visiting over the weekend. The Viking area looks fantastic. And I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the area around apocalypse

Nice to see a UK park making a effort on some good theming and new attractions.👍

[@twistedcoasters1533]

This looks pretty incredible, I need to get to Drayton at some point. A phase 2 with a small gravity group woodie or even a small-scale/family RMC would be amazing, though maybe I’m getting my hopes up. You never know though…

[@dickiea8048]

I would dearly love to see a woodie at Drayton. It would really put the cherry on the cake 👌

[@emziielouiseXD]

Can’t wait to explore this new area on my next visit to Drayton Manor

[@karenmartin9743]

Shawn, I am still a rider and I am 67 years old and in good health. They never had rides like this when I was young. I love watching you give us a tour of what is available to ride. Also, the rides from Europe are so much better than what we have in the states. More variety and good music. Cheers!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@David-R-Hall]

Merlin, the 2nd biggest entertainment company after Disney, should be embarrassed looking at this new themed area. New, well themed flat rides. Come on Alton Towers get back in the game!

[@nemesis8626]

Why though? The theming at Alton towers is great, just look at Wickerman, one of the best themed rides in the country, legoland and Chessington are incredibly well themed too, only one that really isn't is Thorpe Park and in that case it doesn't even matter much because for such a small area its packed full of thrill rides and leans more on the amusement Park side than being full on theme park

[@David-R-Hall]

@@nemesis8626 you’re missing my point I was making about flat rides. Yes, Alton Towers and other Merlin Parks have some nice themed areas and some well themed coasters. But Alton Towers is seriously lacking in themed in flat rides, which Drayton Manor is showcasing brilliantly here what can be achieved. Shawn also makes this same point toward the end of this very vlog.

[@waynelucas6483]

Looks absolutely lovely

[@willemgorman6134]

The first part of the queue line for jormungandr is quite wide i think they should add a fence through the middle of that and have it as a extended queue line. The entrance sign is in the main area then you have to walk to to the queue line. So i think if they could make the wide pathway into and extended queue with some more fencing would finish if of nicely.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great idea!

[@liverpoolforlifers]

I’m going to Drayton manor for a school trip I was a bit worried but after watching this 8 can’t wait!

[@LukasKG12]

Shawn I would love to see some theming on either side of the zamperla disco , Thor!

Looks like a great new edition to the park!

[@Welcometomars343]

SO COOL!!!!

[@bradymartin7260]

i feel like a Gravity Group Family Wooden Coaster would’ve worked so well for this park and in this area, my guess it could’ve gone where ‘Sleipnir’ is, or maybe even they can add one in a future expansion in the old High Ropes Course area

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That would be great in the future for this area!

[@FrightNightsRoblox]

had an awersome day

[@adamwillis5013]

Well that was a quick construction from Drayton Manor fantastic work from the park. I can only wish for good things for Drayton’s future it can work as a thrill and family in my eyes, the interest is still there from us all. Hopefully one day 🎢 🙏🏻

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s come together really nicely!

[@history_leisure]

It was cool seeing Loki with Apocalypse behind it. Makes me think of sightlines that only lasted a season or 2 like Twister without Dragstar in 2002 or El Toro and The Chiller, stuff like that

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I completely agree!

[@The_Tedstar]

Here's me hoping for phase 2 of vikings to have a new rollercoaster 🤞🤞🤞 A new gen vekoma like fønix or lech coaster would fit so well in that area.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would be great to see in the future!

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

Could you imagine a small scale Dive Coaster where it looks like you're going to dive into the lake with some airtime hills after the dive and a large curve back to bring riders back above ground themed to the Valkyries added to the area for the more thrill seeking guests? 😮😍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’d love to see that!

You're right about Valhalla / Walhalla. See also Wickie de Viking, the Dutch translation of Vicky the Viking. I meanr: Vickie? Wickie? But then surely: Wiking?!? And it's Viking?!? 16:32 Aka making sure Wickie and his lot with their mispronounciations are not in the park ;)

Shawn, I find the new section underwhelming, but it is a mild ride area and great for kids and families. I think it's an area in progress, but what more can they do there. I always enjoy your websites, you are such a positive person and diplomatic about things that aren't really too good:) Cheers, Rik Spector

The new areas of Daryton seem to have a slightly more cartoony feel (probably just the color palate)-but Walibi Rhone-Alps also has an awesome op cabin for their NebulaZ. It has US License Plates all over it and the other decorative parts

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s awesome!

[@funkypeng9505]

i was there yesterday

[@PendelSteven]

Wow. That Loki is certainly halfway if not further how Efteling could put a Zamperla Nebulaz in heir park. Make it a crazy mill or something.There must be some story there and if not, they've got a storyline team.
