After 9 months of speculation and anticipation surrounding William and Kate's pregnancy, the royal baby, George Alexander Louis, has finally arrived! The new prince may be the heir to the royal throne, but it is you who could enjoy a royal day out thanks to the new arrival.
To celebrate the royal family's latest addition, Drayton Manor Theme Park is offering £5 entry on Friday 2nd of August to anyone aged under 11 years old, lucky enough to share the name of the little prince. To qualify, young Georges must provide valid proof of ID*, before being granted entry into the award-winning attraction.
Like the "royals", Drayton Manor has a lot to celebrate this summer and thrill-seekers young and old are welcome to join in with the party.
The park is home to Europe's only Thomas Land™, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. A new Thomas & Friends™ ride, Winston's Whistle Stop Tour, launched on 19th July to mark the occasion. The guided monorail ride around a themed track allows you to see the whole of Thomas Land from a bird's eye view, with an open-top in good weather to add to the enjoyment.
Also new for the 2013 season is A Fish Story, an underwater musical adventure film, which is screened in the park's sensational 4D Cinema. It tells the tale of Deepo, an orange Garibaldi fish, and Billy, a trainee at the aquarium who magically turns into a fish, who journey to the depths of the ocean, encountering many different sea creatures along the way and is sure to be a big hit with younger visitors.
The park boasts some of the biggest, wettest and scariest rides around including white-knuckle thrill rides such as the adrenaline-inducing drop-tower, Apocalypse, stand-up coaster, Shockwave and the splash-tastic log flume, Stormforce 10. There's also the Ben 10: Ultimate Mission rollercoaster, which you can find on Cartoon Network Street, as well as the fantastic 15-acre zoo.
Colin Bryan, CEO and Group Managing Director of the park, comments: "This summer promises to be a special one and we're pleased to mark this historic occasion with our free entry offer.
"We pride ourselves on offering a value-for-money day out with many different attractions for the whole family to enjoy."
*Accepted form of ID is a passport.
