Nesting birds delay Drayton Manor ride opening

Drayton Manor has been forced to delay the opening of a brand new attraction after nesting birds decided to call the upcoming ‘Loki’ home.






Drayton Manor has been forced to delay the opening of a brand new attraction after nesting birds decided to call the upcoming ‘Loki’ home.

Originally set to open to the public on Sunday (May 29) along with the rest of the park’s new Vikings land, Loki is the first Zamperla Nebulaz attraction to come to the UK. When in operation, the family thrill ride features eight gondolas and four arms, which rotate in a fast-intermeshing orbit.

“One of the new rides in the Vikings area, Loki, will not be opening as planned this week due to the conservation of nesting birds on the rides, which is limiting access to a main mechanical area,” a park representative told Planet Attractions, adding that the wider area will still open this weekend as scheduled.

An all-new experience, the immersive multi-million-pound attraction also offers a Thor-themed Disk'O Coaster and 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.
