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. What's more, 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.

The reimagined ride will provide plenty of fun for thrill seeking families and is set to open at the park this Spring.

Victoria Lynn, Managing Director at Drayton Manor Resort says:

"Shockwave has always been such a big part of Drayton Manor since opening nearly two decades ago and we’re so excited to see The Wave preserve all the iconic thrills and fun for more families and future generations to come."

"By adapting the hair-raising characteristics of our iconic Shockwave, we’re excited to welcome young fans, from as early as 5 to 6 years old, depending on height, to experience the UK’s most thrilling family ride."

The Wave is just the start, as the reimagined roller coaster marks the start of Drayton Manor’s biggest year ever - with a new themed land set to open later in the year with family attractions to enjoy, alongside new entertainment, the return of Terence to Thomas Land and much more!
