6Shockwave at Drayton Manor May 2022. !!!please ๐ share and subscribe to the channel!!! Shockwave was ordered during IAAPA 1992. In winter 1992, ยฃ1 million worth of concrete was laid for Shockwave and Splash Canyon Rapids, a ride also built by Intamin. After the ride was completed, during the pull through, it was discovered that the test-car could not maneuver the zero-g roll, so a replacement track segment was brought in.
Shockwave opened on March 26, 1994. It was the second of three major British roller coasters opened in 1994; the first being Nemesis at Alton Towers and the third Pepsi Max Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Because of this, 1994 has been named the "year of the roller coaster" for British enthusiasts.
After completion of the ride, local residents complained that the final bend was too close to the edge of the park. In fact, Shockwave had been built as planned, but the council had not considered the proximity of the ride to the edge of the park.
For the 2004 season, Shockwave was repainted. For the 2011 season, the trains were repainted. For 2021, the station building was refurbished and repainted. Shockwave is a steel stand-up roller coaster located at Drayton Manor in Drayton Bassett, Staffordshire, England, UK. The ride first opened in March 1994. In addition to being the only stand-up roller coaster in Europe, it is the only one in the world to feature a zero-g roll. It was built around the same time as Splash Canyon Rapids, in which the station for it is located directly below Shockwave's station.
The roller coaster is one of three stand-up coasters designed by Intamin, and the only one still operating. It is also the only stand-up coaster built by Intamin to feature multiple inversions.
