Hello, been well over a year since I last frequented CF!
Ok, so the only evidence I have to base this upon is the fact that a good friend of mine works at Camelot as a Marketing Manager and has done for about 10 years.
It might sound a little dodgy and untrustworthy, but he was the same guy who informed me of the fact Camelot had bought Knightmare (BMRX as it was then) about 2 months before it was announced, and also informed me about 3 weeks early about the park going into administration last year.
And he was the one who informed me of the Rack's closure/removal along time before the rest of those interested heard it.
So it's pretty reliable:
Basically, the Council have supposedly carried out a feasibility study on the land and have withdrew any plans they had for a residential development.
Meanwhile the park has had boosted attendance figures yet again so far this season, beyond all expectations (I can vouch for that, it's been packed on the two occasions I've been this season).
Knights Leisure have apparently also temporarily shelves any thoughts on a multi-purpose site, and I'm told the park will be kept open until 2012, when the situation will be reviewed again.
So looks like it has a few seasons left yet. I know there's not many here who care for the park, but I've been going for regularly for 15 years and I enjoy it. Plus it's surely good news that the UK won't be losing this park for atleast a number of years yet.
