Vikings set for debut at Drayton Manor



Drayton Manor in the UK is gearing up for the launch of its newest land, the multi-million pound ‘Vikings’.

An all-new experience, the immersive attraction is set to open on May 28 and offers a Thor-themed Disk'O Coaster and the UK’s first Zamperla Nebulaz ride. For younger guests there is Sleipnir - a mechanical horse ride. The main attraction for the area is Jormungandr - a refurbished Zamperla rollercoaster that originally opened in 1988 as Buffalo Coaster.

“We know so many guests have been on the edge of their seats waiting for the official launch date announcement, and we can’t wait to welcome them to experience the immersive new action-packed area, and the exhilarating rides and attractions we have in store, including a UK-first,” said Victoria Lynn, managing director at Drayton Manor.

“We’re so thankful to our amazing team, who have been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to get Vikings ready for fun-seekers all over the UK. The area is designed with each member of the family in mind, so there really is something for everyone. We know our guests will love it and can’t wait to throw open the gates and welcome thrill seekers of all ages.”
