Just taken this off their website
| Quote: | A monumental scale audio visual feast taking you on an exhilarating historical journey though the history of Drayton Manor Park and its main attractions! The lake is host to fan-shaped water fountains acting as projection screens and the skies provide a unique canvas for smoke features, writing lasers and search lights revealing our biggest and most successful rides. Many of these rides will also be the launch platforms for much of the displays whilst fireworks also float across the lake! Our 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee display promises to be the biggest and most spectacular ever!
Display starts 7:00 pm
Last Admission;- 6:00pm
Selected rides until 9;00pm |
Sounds like it's going to be a brilliant display

And the Drayton Queen went round the lake with fireworks on, was really good. Definitely the best display I have seen there. Can't believe how quiet the park was during the day.
I'm still not impressed at getting absolutely drenched on Pirate Adventure, but fair play to guest services for giving us some money for the dryers as according to them, you're not supposed to get soaked on Pirate Adventure
Andy's parents had a good time too, was the first time they had been to Drayton Manor in years and they loved Thomas Land, the 4D cinema and the fireworks.
Watched both the films at the 4D cinema, thought the Haunted House one was really good, me and Andy laughed for most of it
Was great to see the gang for a few rides and for the fireworks
