Shockwave (Drayton Manor)
Shockwave (Originally The 7up Shockwave) is an Intamin stand-up roller coaster, located at Drayton Manor Resort in Tamworth in the United Kingdom. It was opened in 1994 and is one of the only two stand-up coasters in Europe. It is also the only stand-up roller coaster with a zero-gravity roll ever made. The ride, designed by Werner Stengel, was created as part of a two-year, £4M project in 1993-94. Shockwave's station is located directly above The turntable station of the Adventure Cove River Rapids ride, located in the Adventure Cove area. Shockwave was supplied and sold under the brand of Intamin amusement rides, despite the technical design and manufacturing being subcontracted to Giovanola. It uses a box section track, despite not being made by B&M. On September 4, 2023, Drayton Manor announced Shockwave would be converted to a sit-down coaster, which will mean the Intamin Stand-Up coaster will be extinct and will leave no stand up coasters with a zero g roll.
