Camelot

this place is 1 of the best theme parks ever.. i would like to buy it buy it and do it all up but i don't think that will happen xx

I used to love going when I was younger. Just heard of its closure so sad was a great park rip

Needed to post this as only recently heard of its closure. Camelot meant a lot to me and my family I have been going for many years, we went the year of the closure but due to sad circumstances didn't look to go 2013, obviously it had shut by then.Camelot never claimed to have rides on the scale of the larger theme parks, it's a much smaller place, and all parks pitch at different levels, Camelot fell between Gullivers and Alton Towers, but had enough there for older theme park fans. It did need investment but since 2009 had not see much of that, staff, I thought were friendly and polite . Jousting was great fun! Overall gutted....nothing in the North West apart from the very overpriced Pleasure Beach.camelot provided much more than rides! Disgusting that no one felt family time important enough to invest in.

I guess it could have been cleaner and general maintenance is not great but things could have been worse. Won't be visiting again in a hurry though.

Queues were not massive but that was proably more down to the turn in weather than anything else.

My wife won a competition and tickets to visit this place, so we went yesterday, 2 adults and 2 children 13 and 15. I have to say that this is possibly one of the worst attractions I have ever been to. The place is falling apart, stinks to high heaven, and staffed by unhelpful, depressed looking teenagers.

I was genuinely worried about going on some of the rides having seen the state of of some of the operators, rusting rails, electric substations, rotting queueing areas etc.

The other thing which galled me is that some of the more well maintained rides were charging up to £3.50 a go, which if I had paid £85.00 for a family ticket (which by the way you would have to be mentally ill to do so) would have left me feeling totally ripped off.

All in all quite a disappointing day, and definitely won't be returning, even for free.

CAMELOT THEME PARK

first of all if any one on here has given them a good rating, then they either work there ,and are made to rate it, or they dont get out that much,

camelot, more like cr@ppylot, what a sh@t hole.

children 1 meter tall are charged the same as an adult, even though all the better rides can only be used if you are 1.4 meters and up, and i do use the word better loosly, this place looks like its ready to fall down, and the rides that some one under 1.4 meters would like to have a go of , you have to pay for, what a rip off, typical costs a small tray of chips £2.50, a large gob stopper that tastes of nothing £3.00, would not go back there for free

I thought Camelot was going to be better than Gullivers(Warrington) I was so wrong Camelot is only good if your under 12, The Dragon coaster was probably the best ride there.The ferris wheel is tiny and only goes round once,The Jousting show was aweful,boring and goes on forever before the jousting even starts you spend 20minutes cheering for no point. It is not organised very well it looks like every ride was just put anywhere it could fit and the map was not very helpful. The Farm is small and all the animals look unhappy and when you have finished in the farm you have to wash your hands(understandable)but there are only 2 sinks so your stood there for 10minutes waiting to wash your hands. With only a few good rides the ques where too long and not worth the wait. So Save a £10 and go Gullivers World and not this horrible waste of time and money.

When we arrived there were huge queues that just wasn't going down. After 45 mins of queuing we finally went in. The queues for all the rides took approx 45 mins each and don't even get me started on the carousel! The food court wasn't any better either for wimpey. After 4 and half hours there we had been on 4 rides. Not impressed and won't be going back!

We went to Camelot today with our 4 year old knight crazy son. He enjoyed it because he is 4 years old, we seen it for what it is. Its dirty and smelly and overpriced it needs a good clean, more maintenance and lick of paint. We had our 9 week old daughter with us as well who needed feeding regularly so spent some time in the 'entertainment' centre and the food court both smelt awful. So glad we had a packed lunch as I wouldnt want to eat there.

Its not right paying so much money to get in somewhere when facilities are in this state the only good thing about this place is the jousting otherwise I would go to Gullivers world in Warrington which is much better and clean !Our son loved the jousting if it was on all day he would of watched all day. All the knights were happy to pose for photos as well if you asked.

He also loved the Merlin magic show. He went on a lot of rides as the queues are short another good point but I tell you what the attendants arent half miserable.One attendant was telling the kids, (all aged under 6)over the microphone 'the ride is about to stop but wait for it to stop before you get off' but some children where whooping with excitement and he stops what he is saying and says still over the microphone ' I dont know why I bother speaking when you are all making noise ' Oh come on what do you expect they are little kids ...

The fair games are also a rip off they had lots of prizes showing stating 'prize every time' even had little teddies on show about 10cm high so normally you would assume your gonna at least win the little teddy but no the prize every time is produced from the attendants pocket and it was a glowstick !!

There is too much tempation for young kids to want this and that there are arcades everywhere, face painting , tattoos that sort of thing all costing more on an already expensive day.

So overall I wasnt very impressed for a fair I would go to Gullivers world and for knights I would check out a castle and see if they have the jousting as that is the only thing worth paying for.

we checked the dates on the website. it said it was open on the day we went online, so we travelled 2 to 3 hours to get there. we was on time and it should of been open but when we got there it was closed! it was closed on a day it should of been open! it was so disappointing!
