Daredevil divers make a splash at Drayton Manor Theme Park

A group of acrobatic divers are set to entertain visitors at Drayton Manor Theme Park this Summer with their amazing high-flying performances.

From Monday 25th July, the five daredevil divers will literally jump start their eight-week stint at the park with shows that involve leaping from heights of up to 25m into a pool just seven metres wide and three metres deep.

Their shows will feature up to 70 different dives, including an assortment of Olympic and synchronised team dives, crazy clown comic dives, as well as an extreme fire dive where the brave stuntman sets himself alight, with flames burning at 800 degrees Celsius, before diving in the pool to cool off.

The dive shows, which are sponsored by 102.2 Capital FM, will take place near to the park’s G-Force rollercoaster and there will be three shows per day at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.

Colin Bryan, Drayton Manor’s managing director, said: “The park has never had anything like this before, we’re the only park in then UK with this type of show and I have no doubt that these amazing divers will astound visitors with their acrobatics and bravery.”

Drayton Manor Theme Park, located near Tamworth, Staffordshire, is expecting a bumper summer, thanks in part to its newest ride, a Ben 10 themed roller coaster, as well as the unveiling of its new 150 bedroom 4-star hotel, which is due to open on Monday 15th August. Families can now book their stay at the hotel via www.draytonmanorhotel.co.uk.

The park is also home to a variety of white-knuckle thrill rides, the amazing Thomas Land™, a 15-acre zoo and a 4D cinema.
