Alton Towers founder John Broome intends to turn a Cornwall theme park into a “premier European resort”.
It has been confirmed Mr Broome has bought Cornwall’s Crealy Great Adventure Park, near Wadebridge, and nearly 200 acres of adjoining farmland.

The Camel Creek Resort project includes up to 236 holiday villas, courtyard properties, tree houses, a pool, spa, restaurant, pub and convention centre.
The plans are due to go before Cornwall Council next month.
A spokesperson for Mr Broome, John Williams, said the development would see the current theme park updated but it would not resemble Alton Towers and there would be no large new rides.
He said it would create at least 950 new full-time jobs and construction could start in the New Year.

Local discounts;
He added the plans include a tropical lake, the largest in Britain, and admission to the resort will be free to local people within a one kilometre radius, while a discount would be offered to other people living nearby.

The park currently contains a range of family rides, attractions and animals including meerkats, horses, caiman and snakes.

Geoff Says;
Car Boot customers will know we have been promoting Crealy for most of this season. The personnel who have been to our locations with leaflets and advertising materials have represented Crealy well and are looking forward to the changes.

What a fantastic boost this New Adventure Park will be for our fun loving tourists and what a wonderful gesture to give locals who live within one kilometre FREE ADMISSION!! Good luck to the planned Premier European Resort which will be fabulous for CORNWALL and its tourism industry! Welcome.
Ps; What a wake-up call for Flambards dear of them living in bygone years!
Proper job!
