i went here so many times as a kid whenever we went for our devon family holidays! it's such a shame that there's no footage out there of the building with all those fairytale animatronics or the smurfs ride.
I am still so gutted that they got rid of once upon a time as a child i loved it there, im so sad my children never had the chance to experience it too!
I absolutely loved it here and wish with all my heart that it was still open so that I could take my kids. I thought the smurfs ride was the best thing in the world and it made me fall in love with the Smurfs! I used to collect them. Ohhh the memories. Am so sad Once Upon A Time is no more. 😥
Hi thank you for your comment. It certainly was a gem of a find when we visited there. (Many Moons Ago) It seems to be the same sentiment of a lot of people who had happy memories from visiting Once Upon A Time. 🙂
(Just a bit of nostalgia) Almost 25 Years old now. Butlins 1996 including footage of the monorail which was erected in 1967 and closed in the summer of 1996 after an accident there. The area where the trains crossed is where the Skyline Pavilion is now. (built in 1998) Plus footage of the Once upon a Time (Pippa Pig) Theme Park (north Devon) at the redundant railway station at Morthoe & Woolacombe which lasted 15 Years from 1990 - 2005. There is also a short clip at the end from the Lynton/Lynmouth Cliff top Railway and shop.

We went there in the 1990s too, when ours were little.
Good Dayz 😎
