Gold Rush is a steel family roller coaster located at Drayton Manor Resort in Staffordshire, England, UK.

The coaster opened as a part of a strategic multimillion-pound investment and the new Frontier Falls area, and features two different layout sequences in which the ride switches track routes.

[3][4] Tasked with revitalizing the park, Looping Group shifted its focus towards families; over the following years, new themed areas and attractions were brought in while a handful of thrill rides were phased out.

[6][7] Both attractions were explicitly removed to allow for future development; Looping Group CEO Laurent Bruloy first publicly referred to a "very big project for 2024" as early as March 2022.

[8] Drayton Manor Resort officially announced on 13 July 2023 that Liechtenstein-based Intamin would provide a "Lift and Launch" roller coaster for the 2024 season.

In the first mode, the train will fail to clear the lift hill and instead roll back into the forwards/reverse section, traveling backwards until reaching the barn and launch track.
