Whether you’re writing your 2026 bucket list or building out your full Paultons Park guide, here are the Top 5 Must-Do Rides at Paultons Park in 2026 — and why they deserve priority on your visit.

1. Draken

Drakon is a custom Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster with a vertical lift hill that plunges into a beyond vertical drop, with an inversion coaster track that intertwines at top speeds with a legendary existing coaster at the Park.

Draken will open from 16th May 2026.

2. Raven

Legendary Gerstlauer Bobsled.

Raven will open from 16th May 2026.

3. Storm Chaser

Located in the beautifully themed Tornado Springs area, Storm Chaser delivers unpredictable spinning thrills.

Every ride feels different depending on weight distribution — making it highly re-rideable.

2026 Strategy Tip: Ride once in the morning and once later in the day — spin intensity can vary wildly.

4. Ghostly Manor

One of the best interactive dark rides in the UK, Ghostly Manor blends storytelling with competitive gameplay.

For families, this is a must-do — especially if not everyone in your group loves coasters.

5. Flight of the Pterosaur

No Lost Kingdom visit is complete without Flight of the Pterosaur.

It’s often the ride that turns cautious kids into full-blown coaster fans.

1. Draken
2. Storm Chaser
3. Raven
