Drayton manor opens new attraction ready for easter

DRAYTON Manor Resort has revealed it is opening a new land – just in time for the Easter holidays.

Frontier Falls has a Wild West theme with special rides, a 4D cinema and daily shoot-outs.

It was set to launch when the Tamworth attraction fully reopens.

Up until now, it’s only Thomas Land that’s been open at weekends. But now, thrill-seekers are encouraged to ‘‘saddle up and experience the excitement of the Wild West like never before’.’

It comes as Drayton Manor also reopens its much-loved rollercoaster Shockwave, which closed last year for refurbishment. It is now upgraded and rebranded as The Wave.

Victoria Lynn, managing director at Drayton Manor Resort, said: “The opening of

Frontier Falls truly showcases what a thrilling 2024 we have in store for Drayton Manor, marking our biggest year yet.

“We’re constantly evolving the resort to ensure we’re offering fun and excitement for all ages, and can’t wait to open the gates to the new land and embark on a Wild West adventure like no other.”

Here’s what Drayton Manor says about the new attraction:

Wild West Area – complete with the immersive Wild West Street that will transport thrillseekers back in time to an era of cowboys, outlaws, and frontier towns. You may even have to get ready to be a part of the daily shoot-out.

Additionally, the park will host a variety of Easterthemed Thomas Land balcony shows, street entertainment throughout the day, and classic Rory shows on the main stage.
