Four thrill rides at Flambards in Helston to close

Available for over a year

The Helston based attraction has announced it's retiring four of its popular rides and closing completely for three weeks. In a statement Flambards said "After many years of faithful service, we are sadly retiring a number of our thrill rides. This includes, The Thunderbolt, Sky Swinger, SkyForce and The Hornet Rollercoaster some of which will leave the site shortly. This decision was not made lightly however the ongoing shortage of specialist parts has made the maintenance increasingly challenging for these rides, and the safety of our guests is and always will be our top priority". A spokesperson from Flambards was invited to talk to Âé¶¹Éç Radio Cornwall but they declined saying everything is in their statement.
