Drayton Manor missed out on claiming a rather bizarre world record today. The park offered reduced entry to anybody turning up wearing a morphsuit (a skintight all-in-one body suit) in a bid to break the largest gathering of people wearing morphsuits in one place record. 114 people turned up in the colourful suits but unfortunately it wasn't enough; the current record of 250 people still stands.

The park's MD, Colin Bryan, said: "The turnout was amazing and it was quite a sight to behold, especially as a lot of people were wearing blue, red and yellow suits, the colour of Drayton Manor's logo."
Despite a decent internet campaign, the park would have required another 137 people to turn up to clinch the record.
