Drayton Manor has announced the opening of its coolest rollercoaster yet, The Wave, the newly transformed ride formerly known as Shockwave.

The re-imagined ride will provide plenty of fun for thrill seeking families and is open for visitors from Friday 26 April.

The exciting new attraction has maintained many of Shockwave’s original features, meaning riders can still race up to high speeds of 53 mph, experiencing up to level 4 G-Force at 12 feet high. Whatsmore, the reimagined Wave ride includes four inversions, unique zero-gravity roll and a double corkscrew structure - all bound to get pulses racing.

With a brand-new train featuring lap restraints designed to secure you in, the ride is now accessible to more ‘young thrillseekers’ than ever before thanks to its reduced 1.2M height restriction. Guided by the legendary reps of Saltwater Soul Travel Co, visitors can enjoy the adrenaline-pumping world of surfing through a new experience, combining the most thrilling waves from around the world.
