On 8 April 2021, the park announced a retheme of the area surrounding the former G Force site into Adventure Cove. Dismantling the roller coaster began in January 2020, confirming that it would not operate again at Drayton Manor. While the park did not publicly confirmed the removal, G Force was not listed on the 2019 park map. In October 2018, the park's owners confirmed during a Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain event that the ride would be removed due to high repair costs and low reliability. The ride briefly reopened in July 2018, but closed again shortly after and did not reopen. The ride was closed for an extended period of time at the beginning of Drayton Manor's 2018 season due to rumored vehicle modifications. A new sign with the charity's logo was placed outside the ride. In August 2014, it was announced that Drayton Manor would donate a penny to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, up to a maximum of £5,000 a year, for every person who rode G Force. When it was announced, the ride was to be called Barnstorm, but the plans were cancelled. It is of note that only one train is being included in the sale. G Force is currently in storage and still for sale as of December 2020. The layout of Dream Coaster is identical to that of G Force. The layout of G Force was unique until Dream Coaster opened at Dream City in Iraq. The ride was originally going to be called Barnstorm, but this changed to G Force before it opened. It was the only Maurer Rides X-Car roller coaster in the UK, and was opened on 26 July 2005. Something I recommend if you’re uneasy is to watch POV clips to get a sense of what the ride is like, so I’m linking a vid that I’ve watched since going on it, it’s dark but gives you a bit of a feel of what it’s like.G Force was a steel roller coaster located at Drayton Manor in Drayton Bassett, Staffordshire, England, UK. The only way you find out is if you decide to give it a go. But I couldn’t say definitively whether or not that kid should ride it, mostly bc I was the same kid (I’m not sure what they ended up doing). I can’t say this enough, it’s a VERY smooth ride. It’s now my favorite ride in all the parks, including Uni. I’d describe it as the evolution of Space Mountain in many respects, to the point where I feel like SM should be in for a long refurb eventually. However, it continues to tilt back and forth as the cars turn. It then shoots you upward while you’re still going backwards, and then turns you nicely so you’re facing forwards. (I’m going to spoil some aspects so if anyone cares about that they should stop reading but if you’re here you’re probably not concerned about spoilers □♂️) I hated drops growing up and I don’t think this has anything that bad as far as drops go. The kid didn’t like drops, and pointed to Slinky Dog as a comparison, and I was like “well…”. Because it's so smooth and short, you really don't have time to get unbalanced.Ĭlick to expand.This is funny bc a family asked me how I felt about this bc one of their kids was uneasy and the questions they asked weren’t exactly reflecting the uniqueness of the ride. Several people in my family are one and done. Even though the vehicle is not constantly spinning, the fact that it does turn while you're going up and down throws people off. People who are prone to any motion sickness or have any health issues or not going to like Guardians of the Galaxy. But that's not how they designed this ride. Makes me wish there was another big drop inside the building for one last thrill. You slow down when you get inside the building. Tron has a super fast launch which is the most thrilling part. In fact I thought seven dwarfs was more intense because of all the swinging. It's not nearly as intense as guardians or Everest. So this is a ride I can just sit back and enjoy. But the restraint is very comfortable and secure. You feel the g-force is pulling you and I swear there's a part where I definitely feel like I'm coming off the seat. I've yet to get everybody wants to rule the world as my song. That's also why I don't ride ToT.īut Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite ride. I don't like Everest because the launch backwards for 20 seconds scares the hell out of me.
