MAXIMUS - just one week to go!

MAXIMUS our soon to launch re-themed rollercoaster is looking fantastic!

The paint is almost dry, the tunnel is in place, the Roman soldiers are standing to attention - it's getting very, very exciting! You could be in with a chance to win tickets AND be one of the first to ride MAXIMUS if you look out for the competitions in your local newspapers this week.

Make sure you join us for half term when we're open every day for the most outstanding value ever! Sit down, prepare for the (pleasant) surprise! 7 DAYS OF HALF TERM FUN FOR ONLY £6.95pp!!

If you come along on Valentine's Day you can join in with our treasure trail to find the animal partners! Because Crealy loves you so much, if you match up the pairs correctly you can enter the draw to win an Annual Membership!

This week saw the last of our Tree Planting Parties and what a day for planting that was! Over 100 trees planted in 2 hours! We were joined by the International Tree Foundation, a tree warden from Exeter, local historian, Alan Pearce of Farringdon, staff at Crealy and members of the public to plant Rowans and Silver Birch trees on the meadow alongside the Tidal Wave log flume. At the last Planting Party, over 350 Willows were planted.

Although the Planting Parties are now over, our tree planting marathon continues with Crab Apple, Wild Cherry, Field Maple and Norway Spruce trees still to plant over the coming months.

We're planting thousands of trees during 2010, in conjunction with the International Tree Foundation, whilst continuing to work closely with Envision and The Carbon Trust to achieve our ambition of becoming carbon neutral by the end of this year.

Finally come and check out our stunning new signs - including a brand new Entrance Sign! Let us know what you think!

Crealy's optimism for 2010 with increasing domestic tourism and excitement about our new attractions!

So, 70% of people are likely to book a UK holiday this year, with 39% of those having their UK break as their main holiday! Well, we can confirm that it certainly looks this way at Cornwall's Crealy, where our 5 star holiday accommodation is already fully booked (except for 2 weeks!) between April and September! Remember - you can still take advantage of our 50% off breaks in February and March by calling 01841 540276!

This is very exciting news and to add to that, I was delighted this week at the reception news of our new attractions recieved at the British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions. The numbers of new attractions being installed at theme parks across the country is generally less than last year, but as usual Crealy is bucking the trend and we are installing more, with a total £1.6million investment this year!

So, with work well and truly underway at Devon's Crealy on the re-themed Maximus the Roman coaster, the nature trails of The Wilderness with treehouses, deer, grufflegoat and legendary stories of ogres and monsters, plus preparations for our new triple watercoaster Vortex, 2010 is really set to be our most exciting year yet!

Enjoy the pics of the work so far...
