Join us on the first Expedition Drayton Manor as we look at the history of the iconic UK rollercoaster Shockwave. As the UK's only stand-up roller coaster the small family park in the midlands took a risk installing a 4 million pound huge roller coaster that would evolve the park into something brand new. Today the area has found a new lease of life as Adventure Cove. One of the best-themed areas for the whole family.
