Birmingham Day Trips
G-Force Rollercoaster at Drayton Park © Drayton Manor Theme Park
Drayton Manor Theme Park
A short drive from Birmingham city centre, the Drayton Manor
Theme Park offers an exhilarating alternative to shopping and
sightseeing. Loaded with more than 50 rides and pale-faced thrills
the English media has lauded the park as having 'Britain's scariest
rides'. Visitors can drop 177 feet (54m) from the world's first
stand up tower, watching the ground race up from below, take a
watery plunge in a rescue boat down a slippery 180º platform,
fly around one of the parks two swirling rollercoasters or tackle
the rapids with friends at Splash Canyon. Family fun at Drayton
Manor Theme Park has not been short-circuited either as a plethora
of children friendly rides and entertainment from Dragon's Tale to
Circus World is provided.
