About

If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping adventure in the heart of England, the Accelerator roller coaster at Drayton Bassett is definitely worth a visit. As one of the UK's most thrilling coasters, the Accelerator offers a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Located in the heart of Staffordshire, Drayton Bassett is an amusement park that offers a range of rides and attractions for all ages. But the Accelerator is by far the most thrilling ride at the park, and it's not hard to see why.

As soon as you step onto the coaster, you'll feel the rush of excitement as you're propelled forwards at an incredible speed. The ride is a combination of a traditional roller coaster and a launch coaster, meaning that you'll experience both traditional climbs and drops as well as sudden bursts of speed that will take your breath away.

One of the most unique aspects of the Accelerator is the ride's launch system. Rather than using a traditional chain lift to get the coaster to the top of the first hill, the ride uses a powerful launch system that propels the coaster forward at a breakneck speed.

Once you reach the top of the first hill, you'll be treated to a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside before hurtling back down to earth at an incredible speed. The coaster features a number of twists, turns, and drops that will keep you guessing until the very end.

While the ride is certainly not for the faint of heart, it's also not as intense as some other roller coasters. This makes it a great choice for those who are looking for a thrilling experience but may not be ready to take on the most extreme rides.

If you're planning a trip to Drayton Bassett, the Accelerator roller coaster is definitely a must-ride attraction. It's the perfect way to get your heart racing and to experience the thrill of a lifetime. And with plenty of other rides and attractions at the park, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So buckle up, hold on tight, and get ready for the ride of your life!
