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. Opening in 1999 to replace the ageing log flume, the idea was said to have been thought up by the manager's nephew. Along with G-Force, Stormforce 10 is the most popular ride in the park. It starts with a small drop into water and is followed by a backwards drop and finally a bumpy drop into freezing cold water . 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).
