Theme parks you miss going to

To any theme park enthusiasts out there, what theme parks do you miss going to?

I certainly miss going to Camelot Theme Park. I always enjoyed going there for many years and it certainly was a sad shame it closed down after its final run in 2012.

I do miss going to Alton Towers as well as it's been nearly 10 years since I last went there. Hopefully I'll be going there next year when I get a season pass sorted and go once a month.

I loved going to The American Adventure Park in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. They had a ride similar to a bungee jump - think it was called a Skycoaster? Absolutely loved it

Cool. I've heard of that park. It's a shame it ended up abandoned like Camelot did.

My favourite coaster at Camelot was Knightmare. It was the rollercoaster that helped me overcome my fear of rollercoasters. I can remember looking up at Knightmare and I felt this urge to go on it despite not liking rollercoasters so I ended up going on it and I've been a lover of rollercoasters ever since thanks to Knightmare.

Used to go regular to Alton towers, the odd trip to the pleasure beach and flamingo land.

Been years since I've been to one though.

Loved The American Adventure when I was a kid. I found a way of sneaking back on to The Pirate Ship after just having a go. I apologise to the people of the early nineties.

I came here to say the exact same - that Skycoaster (Skyswing? Would be appropriate) was so much fun! Absolutely loved the one that went through 3 loops and a twist then sent you backwards through it again - I want to say it was the Torpedo, but maybe that's just a generic rollercoaster name.

Camelot has closed? I knew I hadn't been in a while but still...

You'll be telling me next that you can't hire betamax from Blockbuster and that Marathons are smaller than they used to be.

In the middle

I live quite close to Drayton Manor and enjoyed going in “the old days” when you only paid a few quid to park and could buy bands or tickets if you wanted to go on the rides, it was great for taking g the kids to the zoo etc
