Spring has sprung at Crealy

Spring is here and the buds on the trees are beginning to flourish! It's an exciting time at Crealy as all the preparations are well underway for what is going to be our most magical year so far!



We had a great time at Crealy during Half Term - it was fantastic to see so many of you here enjoying Maximus the Rollercoaster which opened for the holiday! Have a look at Maximus online: http://tinyurl,com/ygn9169


Everyone loved the rollercoaster's transformation into Maximus! The new station, Roman walls, Roman guards and of course the exciting new tunnel section were incredibly popular! We even had Claudius Maximus here to open the ride with our Crealy Creators board of young directors - here they are on the rollercoaster!


Although there are a few weeks to wait until the next school holidays, Crealy is open from Thursday to Sunday every week til then, so you can still come along and check out Maximus for yourself, and see why Crealy is the top theme park in Devon this Spring! We have some great online discounts for day tickets and now is the perfect time to treat your family to Crealy Membership and you'll save £10 per family* on the 2010 season price -http://tinyurl.com/orjsxq
See you soon for Magical Family Fun.

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!
