ThomasPercyandToby2 On Location: Thomas' 65th Anniversary Party at Drayton Manor

As a special Christmas treat, here's a video I never thought I'd be uploading: a look at Thomas' 65th Anniversary Party at Drayton Manor!

On December 4th, Drayton Manor's Thomas Land held a special 65th anniversary celebration for Thomas and Friends. It was off-limits to the public, and only those with tickets, as well as media and HIT Entertainment personnel, were allowed enterance.

The event started with an opening ceremony (which I missed :P), and throughout the day there were songs sung, stories read and performers. In the 4D cinema, there was a special story time (which I didn't see) and they aired Thomas episodes (they actually just put S13 DVDs on a laptop and screened them on the cinema screen :P).

At the model exhibit, there were HUGE surprises (but I won't say anything :P) and, finally, the day ended with a huge fireworks display and fake snow, which was really cool.

I absolutely loved this event, and it topped off what was one of the best years (for me) ever. I never get tired of going to Drayton Manor, and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be back there again!

I'd like to thank Ben Small, he's a great guy and I loved talking to him. I'd also like to thank HIT Entertainment and Drayton Manor, for organising the whole thing. And I'd also like to thank HIT for helping to make this the best year of my life.

Apologies about the sound at the end, Sony Vegas couldn't recognise the sound, so I tried to convert the clip to an MP3 and... that was the result :P.

Dedicated to all my friends, especially CH01, TheUnluclyTug02 and SCRuffeyfan :)

@MrBerrillProductions ...that's the black chain. He means the plastic on the coach's buffers

@speedracer456v Coupling?

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

@SuperMarioNJ No, he's referring to the Railway Series story "Hullo Twins!" when Donald and Douglas said they'd lost their original numbers on the way to Sodor. Donald and Douglas aren't at the exhibit
