Accelerator is a steel Family Boomerang roller coaster at Drayton Manor Theme Park. The park officially announced the ride in December 2010.[1] The ride is a prototype steel Vekoma Family Boomerang roller coaster. The ride features one lift hill driven by wheels that release the train into a curving figure 8 layout that concludes up a tower with a hump. Upon reaching the top of the tower the coaster train goes through the layout in reverse to the station. It opened on April 21, 2011. In 2017 "Ben 10 – Ultimate Mission" got a name change to "The Accelerator."[2][3]
