Anybody know anything about Camelot theme park and its problems

I went a few days ago mate and i can tell you that even though i have been going for at least 5-6 years now, it never ceases to excite me when i go on one of the brilliant attractions that this park has to offer to me. Firstly, i'm only 14 and some might say that Camelot is best suited for people of my age but i can tell you that i went with my family and even my parents can't keep a straight face when whizzing round on the dragon flyer. i do however see that the park is struggling because of the recession but besides some minor blips with the Rack and a few snarls at the 3rd tube in Pendragons plunge the park remains one of the best parks in the UK and in my opinion one of the most enjoyable because of its unbeatable shows and jousting. Secondly, I know there are some people saying that Camelot is out-dated and really needs some support to get it going again but really the true fact is that these people are not willing to look beyond the rides and look at the other attractions, One of which is the jousting! i mean where else are you going to find somewhere which shows jousting in the 21st century that is completely free of charge, lasts 45mins minimum and never gets tiring or boring. Then there is the dragon flyer and even though its not extremely fast ( recorded only at 20mph ) its still the only diesel powered roller coaster in the WORLD!! Finally, i have recently seen alot of speculations and rumours that The Rack at Camelot is now dead. Well. i can now tell you that the Rack is not dead but is indeed not doing well. the Rack (like the Gauntlet in 2006) was experiencing problems on a scale that where costing the park to much and not really earning it back for them. the Rack is in need of some major part reparations, and when the park was rumoured to be going into receivership a few years ago then the park decided that is was not worth the money to repair i because it was not known whether or not ANY rides would still be there in a few years so they put the parts on hold. however, id the park gets a good enough profit earn this season (now finished) then the park will continue to be open to the public. But if they are going to increase the parks lease to 5 years + or if they are going to keep it at a 1year is yet to be foreseen. Anyway i hope this gives some people some answers Your park fanatic Liam Shannon

Why is Camelot theme park getting in to trouble when it clearly is a very good park
