I don't wanna be the bad guy, but I have to get this off my chest, I think that Drayton Manor are ripping off Alton Towers for many years, when Alton Towers got Hex (a vekoma madhouse), a few years later Drayton Manor got The Haunting (also a vekoma madhouse). Alton Towers got Th13teen (which has a backwards part of the ride) then 1 year later Drayton Manor got Ben 10: Ultimate Mision (which also goes backwards). And now when Alton Towers got a hotel, Drayton Manor got a similar hotel.

@1996Coaster The Haunting was the first Ve(r)koma Madhouse in the UK, opening 2 to 4 years before Hex, to be correct there so it could be seen that Alton Towers were 'ripping off' Drayton Manor.

=)

Same can be said for the Disk-O at Paultons being ripped off by Chessington, Alton Towers' Splash Landings being ripped off by Blackpool's Big Blue Hotel and Cloud Cuckoo Land/Peppa Pig World/Thomas Land/Nick Land are all ripped off from each other.

=) Just pointing out.

@fameandjoy you raise a very good point there, but I thought The Haunting was opened in 2002?

[fameandjoy]

@1996Coaster The Madhouse Guide (an easy search on Google) states it to have been constructed in 1996 so I would assume it was opened sometime after.

@1996Coaster drayton manor had the haunted house swing first the ride there opening in 1996  and hex opened in 2000 so how does drayton manor rip of alton towers with that ride ?

[1996Coaster]

@User85871 I thought The Haunting was opened in 2002.
