I haven't visited Drayton before but seeing the passion of the people behind the park revamp and the amount of effort they're clearly putting into it really makes me want to! It's great to see.
That zoo section annoyed me.. it's bad enough that the poor tiger is in an offensively small enclosure and now it has to listen to chainsaws throughout the night. The rest of the event doesn't look too bad at all for their first time.
Its mainly about the quality and variation of enrichment that the tiger has which is important. Yes the bigger the enclosure the better but you could build an enclosure miles long by miles wide, but if the tiger hasn't got any mental stimulation, that's when you start getting problems.
how lovely this event is it has great scares drayton manor is one of my favourite parks.. and thanks for covering it KEEP ON RIDING and i like how you interview her
Hearing "to make way for thrills" on the section about Apocalypse's removal is very encouraging to hear regarding the park still catering to those looking for thrills going forward!
Hi Shawn & Charlotte, love the channel. Shawn you're so good in front of the camera and interviewing, have you worked in TV before, you're a natural! Good luck guys and keep up the great content!
Hi Shaun and Charlotte I hope you had a great time at drayton manor. I really look forward to your scream fest/ Halloween events because it’s really cool how they present all the attractions of the theme parks Keep up on the amazing work, with lots of care Tiahna🎃
Looks great for their first year. Happy to see the old plastic tiger is still around i used to ride on him when i was a kid . We did the castle of screams family event it was really good.
Thank you very much for another great video guys. Haven't been to Drayton Manor for years but will definitely give it a go next year. In terms of Halloween events, good first effort but I'm sure they will do things better in the future.
They really could have used the big Rollercoaster Shockwave with the queue line and then ride. Yes, Vikings looked great and 3 rides there. Keep seeing the Pirates large building and wondering what's going on in there too. Best thing about Drayton (other than the rides and zoo) is you don't pay to park there !!! Lol
Haven't yet visited Drayton Manor, but at some point still would love to. Got a good selection of storylines when it comes to scare mazes, think it was also a good call with chainsaw relocation with animals in zoo. Think maybe for next year have chainsaw in one maze maybe reimagined castle of screams? Train one was interesting, could maybe of done with another scene? But then again this is judged on looks and not sounds. Actors very good acting, was convinced at times they were statues to then all of a sudden move and make people jump. Good to see good talented actors in these mazes bringing the experiences more to life & making them more scary. Cheers for showing us this experience aswell what was to offer this year at Drayton Manor. Look forward to next video & vlog with you both in. Cheers and thanks. 😀👍
Wow! I think Drayton Manor did a great job creating this new thrilling Halloween event, it brings a chilling vibe that’s similar to Halloween Horror Nights and Knott’s Scary Farm. Plus, I love the Halloween logo, it looks rad!
It’s great to see Drayton Manor trying something new and I can’t wait for fireworks as well, as much as it will be a sad day the atmosphere is going to be amazing with swarms of enthusiasts coming to ride Apocalypse, I don’t know if you’ve seen or not but the park said on twitter there will be an enthusiast photo at Apocalypse at 4:30pm.
Guys! Once again thank you for your videos we came home today from Drayton manor and was blown away with how good it was my boys loved Thomasland it’s alot better than we thought I honestly can’t thank your videos enough this year planning Alton towers and Drayton manor I’ve got a big list of places we are planning 🥳 keep up the amazing work both! ❤️
The people were nice but the scare factor was low but we are all spoiled after the 2K Camelot walk which can't be touched by any theme park attraction! Good job guys for the video and sorting out the chainsaw placement!
Thus could have had Castle scare area, Vikings Scare area, the Train scare attraction, the drop tower, Pirate ship as a Scare area, Shockwave and it's Queing building as a Scare area, The Haunting as a scare area. That's enough in my opinion. Mixture of rides and Scares.
I was there Saturday evening and will say it was absolutely amazing and feel like the park and really started to get out there when it comes to events like this
Shawn and Charlotte, With all your years of experience around the world, why don't you become a Theme Park Consultant!, You would surely be the kind of person to help them. Cheers, Rik Spector
A great vlog again, I enjoyed seeing what Drayton Manor had to offer this Haloween. I take it The Haunting ride with actors didn't impress much as you didn't include a review afterwards?
Night at the manor looks really good can't wait for the fireworks event its ashame that it's only on 1 day this year but still going to be good can't wait to go love the content
Another excellent vlog,as you say it looks like it needed spicing up more maybe some animatronics etc,but its going to be people like yourselfs to make these suggestions to the managers/directors as they might listen you than the general public plus some of those great projected images in the forests and haunted train ride
I can't speak for Drayton Manor, however in my experience regarding the animals and the chainsaw, they're probably used to it, tractors, zoo buggies and also tree/ plants cutting down all occurred when I worked in a zoo and the animals didn't bat an eyelid. All sorts of engine noises occurred throughout the day at the zoo and the animals weren't phased. But yeah glad Drayton Manor sorted it out just in case 👍 😀
Question do you both have cars or do you take turns driving yours or do you drive yours and she drives hers so you two don't get tired by continuously driving the same car
The ghost train was my favourite I didn't really enjoy the hunt for zebadiah when I went no actors popped out and it was boring the castle of screams was also good though
How does the event work do you get lead around to do the attraction in a specific order or can you walk round and pick and choose what you do and can you do the attractions excluding rides more than once or is it one entry for each one ?
I think the biggest problem with having scare zones is that the family entertainment don’t finish to 5pm and really if they have scare actors walking around before half 5 they will scare the young families leaving the park.
Hi Shaun, do you guys plan on going to psycho path in Newcastle ? We were there tonight and it was a brilliant atmosphere and the mazes were fantastic ! Be interesting to hear your opinion
It seems odd that they are running a more adult event but still removing apocalypse and not having the trill rides open? Its confusing what market they are trying to attract now.
excellent video of Shaun and Charlotte from Night At The Manor, a brand NEW Halloween event for 2022 at Drayton Manor! In this vlog, we share footage from ALL 3 scare attractions along with sharing our thoughts on the event. We also capture the awesome evening atmosphere of Apocalypse and the new Vikings-themed area in the dark! keep the good videos coming on the channel, I can't write to see the next one on the channel, big thumbs up to both of you as well. 😀
Yesterday my son went on pendulum at the end of the day and the ride got stuck at the top for like 15 seconds I don’t think it’s supposed to do that so then he screamed I DONT LIKE IT GET ME OFF then for another couple of seconds it stayed there and then it flipped round
We did this event this evening and we are so disappointed. It was so underwhelming and really lacked any scares. One attraction closed and the other two we spent the majority of the night standing in the queue for. Never again, it had so much potential but it lacked any atmosphere and thrill😟
Did you go Saturday 22nd ? We took our son's and after waiting in line for about 25 minutes at the zoo one we got turned away because of an incident, my son's were so disappointed x
Tbh don't think they should be utilizing the zoo part with Halloween. I.e too much noise and screams when the mass of people are present. Plus like you say plenty of other areas to incorporate Halloween Scare attractions.
Hello' T.P.W.W. happy hauntober .... hey please you don't kno' why in grieceland is alive a new beautyfull area for name " scary park " why position and all is in a big area of termic central ..... beaucause you don't like away in that park why only is for clowns and equipping .... etc.... of ... ! ??
Brilliant interview Shawn, hats off to Drayton Manor, they've certainly stepped up their game since the rebrand!
Thank you! It’s great to see the park exploring with new ideas!
Drayton Manor is home to my favourite dark ride, these scare zones look just as immersive
I LOVE it when they post vlogs
Which ride is that? 👻/🔫🤠?
@@benjaminarnold741 👻
I haven't visited Drayton before but seeing the passion of the people behind the park revamp and the amount of effort they're clearly putting into it really makes me want to! It's great to see.
I think they're a good corporation. They've always done a great job with west midlands Safari park.
It’s great to see!
Brillant Shawn,it's so good to see you interacting with the park management. It gives us all a close-up view of how we can enjoy the rides.
Thank you!

@@CustomiZe_ There’s plenty of enrichment programs for Tigers at zoos that know how to look after them better 😊
We agree. I’m glad that they sorted it out later in the night, however it shouldn’t be located in the zoo in our opinion.
How lovely is this event
how lovely this event is it has great scares drayton manor is one of my favourite parks.. and thanks for covering it KEEP ON RIDING and i like how you interview her
Thank you!
I haven't been to Drayton manor on 7 years and I can't wait to go to this event
Hearing "to make way for thrills" on the section about Apocalypse's removal is very encouraging to hear regarding the park still catering to those looking for thrills going forward!
Definitely!
That first guy looked like jack from the shining! “ all work no play makes jack a dull boy”
This is certainly a plot twist for such a family oriented park…
Definitely!

wow that man scared me, i nearly peed!! lol the first one
Looks great for their first year. Happy to see the old plastic tiger is still around i used to ride on him when i was a kid . We did the castle of screams family event it was really good.
It was good to see them branching out into a new event!
Thank you very much for another great video guys. Haven't been to Drayton Manor for years but will definitely give it a go next year. In terms of Halloween events, good first effort but I'm sure they will do things better in the future.

LOL I really thought that wolf guy at the beginning was a statue so I even jumped from your video of him hahah!
He was great!
Great Halloween 🎃👻 Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte
Thank you!

It’s great to see!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Yes, sir.
Alton Towers really needs to watch this vlog particularly the interview at the start what they need to do to improve Scarefest
Definitely
This is fantastic, I love your genuine opinion on the whole thing, baby steps for them and the only way is up now!
Thank you. Let’s hope they make some big changes for next year!
Question do you both have cars or do you take turns driving yours or do you drive yours and she drives hers so you two don't get tired by continuously driving the same car
We both have cars

Ohh you two are so cute (hope your'e not offended haha) i think Shawn is a scared puppy at heart haha x Love you guys
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
Theme park worldwide is that in UK?
yes
It sure is!
How does the event work do you get lead around to do the attraction in a specific order or can you walk round and pick and choose what you do and can you do the attractions excluding rides more than once or is it one entry for each one ?
You can walk around and do the mazes in any order you like!
Hey Shawn & Charlotte, is there coming a video of the Efteling in 2022??
Watch this space!
Are you going to dr frights in Northampton this year? Seems like a good event might be worth a look at
We won’t be unfortunately
damn yet again missing going at the same time as you by a few days! im going on monday for the first time in i think 6 to 8 years
I think the biggest problem with having scare zones is that the family entertainment don’t finish to 5pm and really if they have scare actors walking around before half 5 they will scare the young families leaving the park.
Are all the rides open on the Halloween events or is it some
Only some!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide ok thank you I'll get the other tickets for the rides then
I’m gong on Friday for the 5th time this year, haven’t rode apocalypse but I have a big fear of heights, shouod i go on it?
Go for it!
Hi Shaun, do you guys plan on going to psycho path in Newcastle ? We were there tonight and it was a brilliant atmosphere and the mazes were fantastic ! Be interesting to hear your opinion
It sounds great!
It seems odd that they are running a more adult event but still removing apocalypse and not having the trill rides open? Its confusing what market they are trying to attract now.
Hopefully they’ll add something big at the top of the park!
Awesome to see
Such a shame they haven’t done anything this year
I’m going there on October 30th
Did you meet up with Andrew the other day?
We saw Andy at Fantasy island!
R.I.P APOCALYPSE!😢
My local park
Never been there though

I thought Pendulum had been removed for this season ? I'm wondering if it has or perhaps you've got the wrong name for the attraction / ride ?
Hope you had a good day at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach otherwise!

Rip apocalypse 😪
It’ll be missed!
Looks great don't think I could do this I can't handle to meny scarry stuff.✌✌✌✌🥺🥺🥺😭😭
Thanks for watching!
Can you go adventure island
We’ll be back in 2023!
The lady seemed nice at the beginning.
Victoria is great!
8:47 I went and she tried taking me in the cage
What was your favourite part Shawn and why?
Definitely the Haunted Express!
I went in the morning

Hi
😀😀😀
😊
Just feel like Drayton Manor always misses the mark. It all looks so poor
Hopefully they make some major improvements to this for next year
Like drayton mannor but Victoria sounds like she doesn't have a clue, get an enthusiastic person
Hopefully she’ll bring some exciting new things to the park!
I don't agree with zoos at all.
The zoo needs major work here in our opinion
