Drayton Manor Is Letting Anyone Called Thomas in for Free This Month
If your name is Thomas, this is probably your most useful theme park news of the year.
Drayton Manor is offering free entry throughout May to anyone whose name is Thomas, which is both very random and very perfect. It is to celebrate 80 years since Thomas the Tank Engine first appeared in print.
Thomas first arrived in the Railway Series books by the Reverend W. Awdry in 1946, then made it onto TV in 1984. Since then he has become a huge part of Drayton Manor because Thomas Land is the only Thomas the Tank Engine themed area in Europe.
The area has more than 25 rides and attractions, including the Sodor Railway and rides based on Percy, James, Rosie, Harold and Jeremy. Anyone called Thomas just needs to show valid ID at the ticket office. Drayton Manor Resort also has more than 50 rides and attractions plus a 15 acre zoo, so it is not a bad freebie at all.
