Stormforce 10 is a ride that recreates the story of a lifeboat rescue, launched in association with the RNLI. The ride is located at Drayton Manor Theme Park near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England.

History

Operational history

Between 2007-2009 the launch and lifeguard at the start malfunctioned and therefore the first drop started by sending the boat manually forward into the first drop. the lifeguards voice was changed in the 2010 season and the whole launch system was completely fixed by the 2011 season, although it does break down commonly

Ride experience

The ride begins with the boat being sent into the launch area where a canopy closes behind. A lifeguard figure in front of the boat shines a torch in his eyes and says “Hold On Tight Now! Here Ya Go!” as the boat tilts upwards. He will then pull a lever which then sends the boat 10ft into the water below, slightly soaking those in the front. The boat then goes around a waterfall-like structure before climbing 9m up the next hill. At the top, the boat is placed on a turntable that sends it in to a backwards drop segment, which is notorious for drenching riders. The boat goes around a second turntable which turns the ride forwards again, and then goes through a themed tunnel before going back outside where the boat climbs a 60 foot hill. At the top, riders are given views of the whole park, before turning towards the lake where the final and largest drop occurs. The drop itself is a doubledrop, offering airtime and it gives a large spectacular splash then slowly climbs the last hill back into the station.
