Devon's Crealy General Discussion

[John]

I've done a bit of digging and, so far as I can tel, the ride at Creally is not the former Jungle Bus from CWoA. I don't have definitive proof but I'm reasonably confident it's a different second hand model

I see Crealy have released a video and pictures of the air race ride, quite interesting theming, not sure what it is. Anyone have ideas about it?

 

[Alfredo]

Not really sure what the theme is supposed to be other than steampunk

I reckon it's gone. All mentions of it have been gutted except its page on the website where most places you can get to it directly have been removed. It even says "3 great rides" instead of 4 on the sooty land section now.

I went to the park recently and ride car was completely gone. Someone I know who works relatively high up at Crealy told me the Chasis has rotted away and they just can't afford to replace it right now...that's what you get for buying cheap 2nd hand rides!

sorry if anyone's already said this but I've seen the ride car in a neighbouring solar panel field

Paultons took a big risk with Peppa and that paid off for them. I don’t think that Crealy getting a major IP is that far fetched. It just has to be the right one.

Cocomelon would be a huge draw for them to replace sooty

Cocomelon would be an interesting IP but don't think it's the right one, I'd say it's very much one where it's for really young children and when you approach 0.9m, you'd have potentially outgrown it

Very true I was just thinking what ip could be about that could replace sooty as alot are taken
Peppa pig
All the cbeebies shows and cbbc
Pawpatrol
Thomas
It leaves very slim pickings for them. I am surprised they still have sooty because I don't think its even on TV anymore

Cbeebies and probably CBBC too are reserved for towers
Merlin also has paw patrol and so does blackpool
Drayton has thomas

If Creally want an IP success story they are going to have to be very creative, and probably spend a fortune, I do think having a kids or family IP could be great for them, but they have trouble in not being backed by a large multinational in this regard, Paulton's got very lucky getting the peppa IP before Merlin bought the rights elsewhere because they would have easily outbidder them without really even spending big money in their terms.

Not all of the Cbeebies IPs are owned by the BBC and are imported so it's very much possible it could easily appear at a park outside of Towers

The vast majority are owned by Cbeebies and it's clear that Merlin have negotiated the Bluey IP with the BBC and it's owners too as that is a third party programme.

I definitely think Bluey had more potential to be it's own area.

 

[popey85]

Would Sesame Street or even spongebob be available for crealy to replace sooty both are hugely popular ips

 

[rob666]

Could you make that readable please!

Think they missed a huge opportunity with the bluey ip would of been best as you said its own area now if only there was an area with a desperate need of an update (David Williams)

I thought Bluey would've been perfect for Chessington although Paw Patrol is pretty much a win too

Blackpool must be hitting themselves for not capitalising on Paw Patrol for Nick Land.
