I’ve been once too many times.
Never been once. Always twice in the same 7 day period.
Yep. Back in the evening to watch the Cornish Robbie Williams, while my lad went on the "Chunderbolt" non stop for 3 hours.
The Victorian village was ok as you knew that there were aeroplanes at the end. I almost shit with disappointment when I found that the cockpit of the Shackleton was closed off on our last visit. I was 52 BTW.
Flambards: the only theme park where you can reguritate up a half-decent cornish pasty.

That ride nearly ended me. Multiple consecutive times in a row without a queue forced me to have a little lie down for a while afterwards. The mini-a11ys continued to loop it time after time after time...
Yep. I did 4 in a row without getting off, then started to feel "unusual".
My lad stayed on it all evening.
We used to go to Sainsbury's cafe for tea, but that got shut down too!

Always took a picnic and ate it next to the duck pond by the mini golf.
Keep going, you’re all selling Cornwall better than any marketing department.
For a 10 and a 12 year old this is the best day out ever!
Sadly no more. No Chunderbolt. No Sainsubury's cafe.
Just the cold bench.
And Cornish Robbie Williams.

I feel that the Cornish are missing a trick here based on the fact that South Wales has a whole Elvis festival. https://elvies.co.uk/
There are of course many Cornwalls. Take your pick. 🙂
I'll be there in July. Then again, it's where my (only) house is.

You are Gus Honeybun and I claim my five pounds.
FWIW I actually prefer Marazion in high season - more stuff's open, you can enjoy the sea more, and there's usually a small selection of motorcycles to look at either cruising through or parked up at the cafe down the beach towards Newlyn.
And also Newlyn is nearby for your fish, or at least whatever's available after Brexit and lockdown which I think did for the ice cream shop 🙁
Gus Honeybun was the station mascot for Westward Television, and later Television South West, from 1961 to December 1992. A puppet rabbit, and star of Gus Honeybun's Magic Birthdays, he achieved a longevity for a TV puppet second only to the Sooty characters.
lol, had to Google (see other post)
had to Google
I didn’t.
Flambards legend, second only to Ferdi.
