　　Drayton Manor in the UK first opened its gates to the public in October, 1949, as an inland pleasure resort and was originally just a normal park with tea rooms, boat rides and a pet's corner. Since then it has grown to become the UK's leading family­run theme park and the fourth most popular theme park in the UK. The park's motto is "Family Run for Family Run"．

　　Drayton Manor Theme Park stands in an area of 280 acres and boasts 36 rides in total, including 4 roller coasters and 3 water rides. Within the park is a 15­acre zoo which houses over 100 species of animals. Drayton Manor is proud to be the first in the world for some of its rides. For instance, the Apocalypse is the world's first stand­up tower drop ride and G Force is the world's first X Car Coaster (apart from its original design in Germany)．

　　If you fancy a camping holiday at Drayton Manor, there is a 75­pitch camping and caravan (宿营拖车) site with onsite facilities such as toilets, showers (for the disabled, too), and security. Not only are you situated on the park itself, but you are also close to a large number of other local attractions and facilities.

　　A day at Drayton Manor is fun for all the family. Unfortunately, there are height restrictions on some of the rides. Children over 1.4 m can ride on all the rides by themselves. Children between 1.4 m and 1 m must be accompanied by an adult to enjoy some rides. There are several rides which children shorter than 1 m are not allowed to ride on. There are numerous places to eat and drink, so you will never need to go hungry. And for the smaller children at Drayton Manor, there is Robinson's Land which had some big events happening in 2010.

　　All in all, Drayton Manor has something for the whole family and is well worth a family day trip this summer. For opening times and ticket prices, check out Drayton Manor Home Page.
