Watching this makes me miss the park even more as it’s the park I grew up going to then they got read of all my childhood rides then after that I stopped going I only went back when they spent the 40k on sky force as I loved that one alot I now go on one at the fairs you sit outside not inside it’s like the same type of ride.
Thanks for sharing this. It is just so very sad to see. I visited as a kid in the 70's and have been bringing my kids for the last 15 years. Some very happy memories and a very special little place. (Though not so little when seen from the air.)
When i was a kid, it was not a theme park but museum. They would have cars and aeroplanes helicopters and various other things outside . As well as the blitz and other exhibits indoors.
@@darylgrenney5048 thankyou so much for the feedback. Like I said in the video this will most likely be my last drone update as I don't want to get in trouble 😔
Strictly speaking not the only theme park with camel creek still open but it is a very sad day for Cornwall indeed . Thanks for the comments just made me sad all over again 😭
Well it's not all sad I just found out today that an Airsoft events company going to be having a weekend Airsoft event here in April. This is going to be an epic place to play Airsoft I have dreamt of playing in places like this
@cornwallfamilylife think those cheap BB guns you used to get but more expensive and more powerful. With ranges from 50m to 100m Search names Nicco that will give you a good idea of what we do
I do hope you had permission to fly there as it's right next to ColdRose just in case you didn't know it is a flight control zone and you need permission from the control tower cheers
As I explained in the video I didn't understand the rules fully until after I filmed this video. I do not intend to fly near culdrose anymore and if I did I would 100% ask permission. Hopefully you can enjoy this video all the same as a memory of what Flambards used to be like. Also I saw one of your stickers near wheal virgin great idea to have a QR code. 😁
@@cornwallfamilylife yeah just thought I'd bring that to your attention just in case you didn't know Glad you do now anyway keep up the good work Yes QR codes are a good way of getting your channel out there
Great video. This update is very helpful. I bet as we reach spring more of the rides will start to leave? Still very sad especially with the Village left with no life. Still hope they can save it? I might make a history video about Flambards but it's a thought?
The last time I went to Flambards was in August 2019 and had been going every year since 2016 ( and many times before that ). But in 2020 I didn't go because of covid restrictions but even after restrictions were lifted hearing about an accident on one of the rides also put me off.
I am sure that some parks will be interested in purchasing some of the rides for this years season, parks like Oakwood, Pleasurewood Hills, Lightwater Valley, Margate and some of the smaller seaside parks would be glad of cheap second hand rides or travelling showmen.
It hasn't been decided yet but I believe that a nearly housing development will take it over at some point. I am also not sure how much longer Ferdis Indoor Play will be around. The main concern is for the Victorian village and blitz to be saved in some form. Thanks for the comment we really appreciate it.
@cornwallfamilylife no problems and I am with you about The Victorian Village and The Blitz as well and I have some good memories about Flambards in Helston Cornwall
Thunderdome was on a loan deal to Flambards and has now gone back to its owner shame about the hornet there is a sister coaster at parc astarix as mentioned I don’t see it being relocated though unfortunately and that goes for sky force as well it’s one of the only few HUSS frisbee rides left in the uk but again it was moved from a park to Flambards it was at a different theme park that ended up closing where sky force was themed to a pendulum in a clock the ride back then was called pendulous this is also the reason the are numbers on the underside of the ride if you look closely you can see them sky raker could most likely be relocated there is a go fund me to save bits out of the village as well
Wow thank for taking the time to comment your much more knowledgeable about the rides than myself. I really want to go to parc asterix now just to see the sister coaster which is Roman themed I believe
@@cornwallfamilylife yes that is correct I use a website called coasterpedia and you can search up rides and it will tell you where it came from where it is now who it’s made by ect

@@Rorschach. Thankyou for this comment yes I agree from the air it's quite a big theme park.

@@Nik-8it5p I remember those days too
Great footage, so sad to see 😢, I remember the old science bit, with the rotating bridge,mirrors and the walk on piano 😊👍
Great update mate thank you

@kernow..exp. no worries thanks for the comment and the great sticker idea
So what's happening with the Victorian village? That was the highlight of this place.
Nothing has been announced officially yet. Helston council has been in conversation with Flambards about saving it but that's all we know
Great video. This update is very helpful.

Still very sad especially with the Village left with no life. Still hope they can save it?
I might make a history video about Flambards but it's a thought?
@themeparkawesome3401 Definitely make a history video I'd watch and so would my Flambards obsessed son. Thanks for the positive comments
Keep grinding
@@erinaregina6596 skateboards or TH-cam? Thankyou
I know they need to take the fences down but knowing that people break in it just makes the rides easier to break on if someone does break in
@@beaversquad2332 true. It's a really hard site to protect though. Thanks for commenting
@@cornwallfamilylife It's likely the hornet will be demolished but I hope a theme park buys it and keep it going
@beaversquad2332 that would be the best thing for Cornwall
Theme Park in Helston because Flambards attraction of tourist information road signs need to replacing them
This is so good
@@katrinawinset5925 thankyou

@@marybradley7791 thanks for the comment hopefully as you said the rides will get a 2nd life elsewhere 😔
@@cornwallfamilylife Hopefully that some of them won’t get scrapped.
Airspace is free cannot be prosecuted for it but flying next to culdrose may be an issue as restricted, and military, but go for it it's interesting,
@@andrewharvey6124 thankyou
That will make a nice little housing estate.
@@MattF340 I reckon they should name the roads. Ferdi lane and hornet close...
When we went in to the park and filmed it all we went in the old cafe and they are renovating it and putting on brand new windows
@@jakesgreatadventures interesting does that mean that the Victorian village will reopen?
@@cornwallfamilylifecould this be a sign that Flambards is reopening under new ownership?
@@georgekoshti_richman1392 that would be great
@@cornwallfamilylife But there’s a high chance that it’s gonna get torn down for housing.
@ITVEthanGreen617 I know the most likely scenario
#SaveTheVillageAndTheBlitz
@@ITVEthanGreen617 100% crowdfunder comes to mind but I bet it's worth a lot as a collection
Do you know what is happening with the old flambards Helston Cornwall site Cornwall family life?
