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.^[2] It opened on April 21, 2011. In 2017 Ben 10 – Ultimate Mission got a name change to Accelerator, after the sponsorship from Cartoon Network ended.^[3]
