Obscure UK Parks

[Leigh]

There’s a few potentially salvageable rides left. Off hand, I think in terms of larger rides the drop tower and the frisbee can be saved (the latter was supposed to close earlier in the year but got a reprieve)

Little stuff like the Rockin’ Tug and the carousel can definitely be sold on. It’s things like Hornet and the log flume that are probably going to be scrapped.

Cornwall has also lost Dairyland this week as well. Really bad for Cornish tourism.

Having just watched a vlog of the park, I believe that the mini drop tower themed to a rocket was also from American Adventure, although it looked pretty SBNO in the vlog I watched, as were many other rides.

Yeah, that one has been dead for years.

Sad news. Flambards has announced that it is closing with immediate effect.

Such a shame, have some great memories of family trips there

I really hope the WW2 and Victorian England exhibitions are picked up by someone. They make a great year round attraction and should be preserved for future generations.

Ah this is is a shame. I really enjoyed my childhood trip to Flambards. Here's hoping the rides live on at other parks. Hopefully Thorpe are watching these developments and install some of the park's family rides where Amity Beach is.
