Planning family days out in Staffordshire should definitely include Drayton Manor, one of the UK's most popular theme parks. New for 2012 will be live Ben 10 shows, based on the hit TV series by Cartoon Network, that will be performed on the stage above the park’s Ben 10: Ultimate Mission roller coaster entrance and will entertain park guests as they approach the ride. In addition, a newly themed food outlet, Chowder’s Diner, will open in Cartoon Network Street. Thematically decorated both inside and out, it will serve a variety of sandwiches, salads and children’s meals. The award-winning theme park is also home to Europe’s only Thomas Land™, which features 20 rides and attractions based on the ever-popular Thomas & Friends™ series, including Cranky’s Drop Tower and the Troublesome Trucks Coaster and the newest addition, Blue Mountain Engines. Drayton Manor also boasts a selection of thrill rides, including the adrenaline-inducing drop-tower, Apocalypse, stand-up coaster, Shockwave, the splash-tastic log flume, Stormforce 10, and stomach-churning gyro-swing, Maelstrom. There’s also a sensational 4D cinema that will be screening an exciting family movie. There’s also a fantastic 15-acre zoo within the theme park’s grounds, which houses a Sumatran tiger, monkeys and primates, a meerkat mob, and a pair of highly endangered black leopards, as well as various birds of prey and reptiles. For visitors travelling from further afield or simply looking to turn a day trip into an overnight stay, there’s the luxurious four-star Drayton Manor Hotel. It has 150 bedrooms, including 11 Thomas & Friends themed family rooms, each with a unique hand-painted scene on the wall and ceiling, themed bunk beds, and train track patterned carpets in the corridors leading to each room. For further details, special offers, or to book a room go to www.draytonmanorhotel.com. The hotel also has two bars and restaurants and is located near to the theme park’s on-site restaurant, The Grill Inn, which is open to guests and local residents from 12noon – 10pm daily, ensuring visitors are never stuck for a choice of fine food and drink.
