Location: Chorley, Lancashire England

Years Active: 1983 – 2012

Camelot Theme Park was a resort and theme park located in the English county of Lancashire. The park’s theme was the well-known legend of Camelot, and the park decor incorporated pseudo-medieval elements. It was located on a 140-acre site near the village of Charnock Richard, 3 miles west of Chorley.

One of the roller coasters could be seen from the M6 near the Charnock Richard Services. However, as of February 2020 said rollercoaster “The Knightmare” has been demolished after SBNO (Standing But Not Operating) for eight years. The site was owned by The Story Group and was operated by Knights Leisure. The park featured many rides, taking a target audience of families and younger children; however, the park also boasted numerous thrill rides and roller coasters, including Whirlwind (a Maurer Söhne spinning coaster), Knightmare and Excalibur.

In 1998, Camelot Theme Park underwent a major operational change when it was acquired through a management buyout. In June of that year, ownership transferred to Prime Resorts Ltd, marking a new phase in the park’s history. This shift represented the most significant development for the season, as the change in management set the stage for future operational direction, though no specific new rides or closures were documented alongside the ownership transition.
