Crealy Announces Official Opening Date for South West's Only Inverted Ride - Rotor
6th Jul 2026
Bringing Devon's only inverted ride to the South West, Crealy Theme Park & Resort is set to make history once again this Summer with the official launch of ROTOR, opening Friday 31st July in what is being hailed as one of the biggest developments for the South West's Theme Park industry in years.
Are you ready to #FeelTheFlip?
Following the hugely successful opening of Pirates’ Plummet earlier this season - now recognised as the South West’s tallest drop tower experience - Crealy is continuing its bold evolution into a family thrill destination with the arrival of Rotor: Devon’s first-ever inverted ride experience.
Designed to spin, flip and thrill riders in a high-energy experience unlike anything currently available in the county, Rotor represents a landmark moment not just for Crealy, but for Devon tourism as a whole.
