When it comes to visiting Drayton Manor and in turn Thomas Land, it feels as though we are going home. Having visited at least once a year for the past eight years it is somewhere we look forward to taking the children back again (and again). Our last visit was back in February, so this trip was long overdue and the children were excited to catch up with the trains that they have known since they were little.
Thomas Land at Drayton Manor #LittleMoments
Thomas Land at Drayton Manor holds a variety of rides and attractions for children young and old. The magic of Sodor draws you in and before you know it you are whizzing around in a Troublesome Truck, spinning with Toby or seeing the sights with Harold the Helicopter.
James and the red balloon
On our last couple of visits to the park, we were intrigued to see what was hidden behind the boardings within the Thomas Land expansion. Although we knew it had something to do with James we were unsure as to what type of ride would be placed there. Having missed the opportunity to go for the launch, this visit enabled us to finally take a turn on James and The Red Balloon ride.
Entry to the ride is a little slow due to the safety measures required with the balloons moving freely. It is, however, reassuring that there are ride operators there to assist you on to the balloons before allowing the next family to enter the next balloon.

Alongside the latest edition to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor, there are still the firm favourites for you to enjoy. Cranky’s Tower Drop has to be one of the rides that Roo and Tigger have been on the most. There is something about that ride that they love (not one for me personally).
With our fill of the Thomas Land rides we took a walk through the Drayton Manor Zoo over to Tidmouth Hault. Home to Spencer’s adventure play area, Terence’s driving school, the model railway. As well as more animal to see and the newly refurbished toddlers play area within the farm.
