Stormforce 10 is a ride that recreates the story of a lifeboat rescue, launched in association with the RNLI. The ride is located at Drayton Manor Theme Park near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. It holds the title of the world's first charitable ride and accepts donations on site.[citation needed] Opening in 1999 to replace the ageing log flume, the idea was said to have been thought up by the manager's nephew.[citation needed] Along with G-Force, Stormforce 10 is the most popular ride in the park.[citation needed] It starts with a small drop into water and is followed by a backwards drop and finally a bumpy drop into freezing cold water . origionally you could ride under 1.2M with an adult but the 1.2 restriction became permanent in 2008 for safety reasons For every ride photograph sold, a donation is made to the RNLI (a scheme through which Drayton Manor has raised £66,000), allowing them to fund a lifeboat called 'Drayton Manor' (an Atlantic 85 rescue boat).[citation needed]
