ONE of the UK’s most affordable theme parks has revealed plans to reduce tickets even more next month.
Flambards was named as one of the most underrated theme parks earlier this year by Time Out.
Not only that, but it was named “Cornwall’s most affordable theme park” earlier this year.
And next month, the park is reducing tickets even more.
Taking place next month on October 5 and 6, the event is in collaboration with both Helston and The Lizard Foodbank.
People heading to the park can get a reduced ticket for £9.95 if they bring a food donation worth at least £3.
Items that are allowed include non-perishable goods like tins of ham, ride pudding or powdered milk, or instant custard, puddings and mashed potato.
Standard ticket prices are £14.95.
Visitors can enjoy the park’s attractions for a reduced entry ticket price of £9.95, provided they bring a food donation worth approximately £3.
Or, guests can give a £3 donation to the food back to get the reduction too.
Earlier this summer, Flambards closed four of its rides.
The Thunderbolt, Sky Swinger, SkyForce and The Hornet Rollercoaster are all set to be retired by the park, due to an “ongoing shortage of specialist parts” that has created insurmountable maintenance issues.
The park then reduced it’s ticket prices following the closures, down to the current £14.95.
It is one of the most affordable theme parks in the UK.
A study put the theme park in sixth place, with the average price per ride costing £1.09 when breaking down the entry ticket cost.
One of it’s newest rides is the Thunderdome, a Wurlitzer-style ride.
There is also the Colorado log flume as well as the SkyRaker.
Smaller rides include spinning tea cups as well as an indoor soft play area.
And following the closure of rides earlier this year, the theme park confirmed plans for new attractions aimed to younger riders.
A spokesperson previously said: “We can’t go into any details at this stage but Flambards’ aim is to introduce new rides that are more suited to the younger market going forward.”
Visit Cornwall’s Malcom Bell added: “It is a shame that they have had to reduce the rides but they [reopened] at a lower price and provide an all-weather family attraction.”
