New Four-Ride “Rainforest Adventure” Attraction Opens At Drusillas Park

Four exciting new family rides, nestled among a jungle of animatronic animals, wild sculptures, and gorgeous greenery will open to the public this weekend at Drusillas Park near Alfriston.

The Rainforest Adventure will be available from 2pm today and is among the park's first rides to ‘go wild in the jungle’ at their newest attraction.

The project is the second investment of more than half a million pounds in less than 12 months -— forming a key part of the Park’s future vision and development plans.

Toucan Twister offers a tropical adaptation of the classic tea cup ride, welcoming riders to climb aboard a giant water lily, ready to spin, whizz and whirl around a giant toucan.

Jungle Jeeps lets little ones take the wheel on a mini safari adventure through the tropics, on the hunt for animal facts, spotting exciting creatures such as jaguars, crocodiles, and a huge spitting anaconda.

Amazon Skyrise takes mini thrill seekers to new heights to enjoy a special bird’s eye view of the rainforest from the tree tops, but get ready for your stomach to drop as you shoot back down to ground level.

Managing Director, Ollie Smith, said:

“Seeing all the pieces of the jungle come together over the last few months has far surpassed our expectations, and we can’t wait to share The Rainforest Adventure with our visitors.

It’s been exciting seeing the many unusual deliveries arriving; one day it’s a giant toucan, the next it’s a lorry full of jeeps, or a spitting anaconda! Our estate team have really excelled themselves."

Alongside the new attraction, Drusillas has also confirmed that it will now permanently offer free coin-operated rides throughout the Park.

Originally put in place whilst work on the new attraction was carried out, seven kids rides, including Thomas the Tank Engine, Paw Patrol, and a wild west shooting gallery, will remain free of charge for all visitors.

Located just off the A27 in Alfriston, Drusillas Park is open from 10am each day.
