IT WAS AWESOME I dont care how long it was If you ever go to Drayton Manor this is the ride you have to go on
I don't get the hate really fun experience if you don't find it thrilling go to stormface and get wet
Love this ride! I live 10 mins away so every year we buy season pass'. Everyday I go on this ride! I'm getting my season pass late this year, we get it on Saturday and 2 days ago was the day I found out it had been re - named to accelerator!
I'm a 35 year old man who until today hadn't been to Drayton Manor or any other theme park since I was around 16-18, so it was a LONG time ago since I rode anything like this! I was scared I'll be honest, but once your on it it's ok. It goes up very slowly and you have a lovely view of the whole park, then after a couple of seconds at the top, it just drops like your free falling, it's so weird because you would expect to lose your stomach like you do on a big roller coaster when it goes down a big drop, but you don't feel that at all, it's almost like a shock because you don't expect it to drop THAT fast, but it's real fun, glad I went on it.
This is a great first boomerang it may look really scary but it's not fun for all the family it's a 4 star not a 5 star because it's just not as good as the 5 stars over all great ride really fun I definitely would recommend this ride
Brilliant ride which has a very original aspect compared to that of other rides in Drayton Manor not only sending you forwards, but backwards too! It is a must if you are new.
