Flambards Amusement Park-Permanently Closed Security chased us (Rare Classic Motorcycles Found)

[@AWE83]

I just wanna mention that this place is not abandoned. We arrived and asked if we could walk around. The people that were there said no problem. Also in the museum we had the doors unlocked so we can see inside the expedition. This place isn’t fully closing but parts are I strongly recommend that no one goes here as it is owned at the end of the Explore a lady come up to us and said we need to now leave as the locking up not once did we break in and not once did we say this place was abandoned.

[@FairGround7DeLorean]

@AWE83 maybe say this at the start of the video and be transparent instead of selling it like something it's not. It can be dangerous you advertising it as "abandoned" as more urban explorers than done bring the cameras would trespass on a site that security don't need that hassle. Be responsible for your words.

[@kathythepink123]

Hello, no hate here, just curiosity and slight confusion 🤔 I think people's comments regarding it not being abandoned is because you began your video with saying that it is "completely abandoned". Also wondered why you were shown to be running away from security when you claim you had permission? What was the need to therefore run and keep your heads and voices low? Hmm 🤷🏻‍♀️🤥

[@FairGround7DeLorean]

@AWE83 "not once did we say this place is abandoned" 0:09 so what's that ?

[@kathythepink123]

@@FairGround7DeLorean Absolutely. I can sense some lies going on here, which is surprising. Also, if you listen to the beginning of the video whilst he is driving his vehicle, he said about going evening time around 5pm (It is dark by this time now, hence definitely an attempt to sneak in!!!!). Little confused if they were "granted permission"? Certainly don't think that's the case, too many red flags. My concern is it will attract vandals/theifs. Be such a shame as it was a beautiful theme park and my kids loved it.

[@Urko2005]

Remove the word abandoned then from your writeup describing the video.

[@rudhs_dan]

I absolutely loved flambards. It was the only good thing we had in Cornwall. I last went here in 2023. It’s so sad it’s gonna be all gone. Its unbelievable. 😢😕

[@JaneHugh-p5n]

Thank you for this amazing video. I went there in 2011. When you walked through the blitz area there were airaid sirens going off and the sound of bombs dropping,it was surreal and eerie . Such a shame it is closing. 😢

[@AdamMcCool-01]

It’s not closing it’s just closed for winter, it does every year they’re talking bollox 🙄🤷‍♂️

Finally the duo we all love is back together, happy to see Dave and Mark again, also that museum was epic and felt just like being back in time

[@susanstorm8052]

It closed on November 4th of this year. It hasn't been closed long. It's too bad places like these are gone. I remember going to one when I was a kid, but it's been gone a long time ago. Cool place. Thanks, Dave and Markie 😊.

[@chevoneflowers4754]

Flambards. Only closed on 4th November 2024! Oh, and you're trespassing - it isn't abandoned just CLOSED.

[@natashadavies1690]

Flambards have just issued a statement about this video as they're monitoring the site on cctv they've said anyone on site will be prosecuted😅

[@AWE83]

Yeah I didn’t say was abandoned we asked and was told we can walk around. If u see in the video there’s cleaner is popping doors for us to see

Thank you for taking the time to go visit the abandoned Flambards. Brought back so many happy memories taking our family and friends there. It's iconic to Cornwall and will be missed by so many. Great work, Dave and Mark ❤

[@kristinasymons]

I'm an American that's never been to the UK.. I love learning about different cultures/history, and I'm so happy you made this video, and that I stumbled across it. Thank you!! I really hope they preserve as much as they can from the museum items.

[@stevewall4589]

Thank you for this video. I went there as a 13yr old kid on a holiday to Cornwall in 1989. It really is such a shame to see such a place with fantastic memories being shut down.

[@rosebooth7367]

Really enjoyed that Dave, thank you for letting us see it. One thing you mentioned was the different smells in the wartime and Victorian shops/homes. Museums can buy different oils/smells and pump them into an area. My sister worked at a mining museum some years ago and among other "fragrances" she had to purchase the smell of pit ponies - true story..

[@elizabethmcguire3817]

That was amazing! Loved it, especially the museum! Awesome video!

[@DannoAviation]

My mum watches you guys avidly and when she told me you visited Flambards I had to check this video out! We went to Flambards when I was a 4 year kid and I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was a good 20 odd years ago… all the mannequins, history attached to the place… I’m remembering bits and bobs about the holiday just by watching this video! Keep up the brilliant work fella’s and thank you for keeping my mum entertained over the years👍🏼😁

[@AWE83]

Means allot to me

[@lisasauls5204]

That place was amazing, loved all the old shops that showed what life was like then. 1976 I was 9 years old, great video and great memories

[@legzakimbo1]

My family are regular visitors to Cornwall and a day at Flambards was always part of our holiday. It's a shame and tbh, a little bit heart breaking that this and other attractions are having to close their doors because of rising costs, etc- even premier attractions such as Alton Towers are reportedly having problems. As far as Flambards is concerned, I hope they manage to save/relocate the Victorian Village, before any disrespectful little s*it heads get in and wreck the place. This part of Flambards was always a highlight for us and worth a visit on it's own.

[@stephenjacobs1255]

Thanks for putting this on Dave it was such a shock that it's shut. Have visit Flambards several times I do hope the items are all saved before they get wrecked by some a... hole !

[@canadiancritical2988]

I HAD to watch this one twice! Mind-blowing abandoned!! I wish I could buy the entire contents of that incredible museum & have it shipped to Canada🇨🇦❤️

[@AWE83]

means allot to me x

[@muaythaimags]

Loved this one!!! What an amazing place!! The museum looked outstanding! I'm not much of a person to go on rollercosters, but there is something for everyone, adults & kids, such a shame it's closed

[@mistispears416]

So, if they do it to early it’s wrong… to late it’s a tragedy and can’t see any resemblance of what once was. This theme park won’t be here in 2-10 years to explore.. It may not be a 20 yr abandoned site.. but they are documenting a piece of childhood history that will soon be erased. Thank you!!! Thank you for showing us this gem. And taking us with you on a childhood memory!! Lots of love!

[@heidib9243]

What an incredible place. The museum part was brilliant. I really hope they relocate all of it to a proper museum. Walking through the house with the bomb shelter, then through the streets of London ... just amazing! Thanks Dave, loved this.

[@kathie__1]

I loved the video, Dave. It was nice seeing you and Mark together. I really enjoyed the museum; I just can't believe they are closing it down. There is so much history.

i always went here when i was younger, and truly loved it ! the hornet rollercoaster especially !! 6 years ago we took my daughter there she was 3 and loved it !!! And slept through the Blitz exhibit 😳🤦🏼‍♀️❤️ only my babe lol xx we have a beautiful teddy we got her and i’m glad we did, wearing a lovely red Flambards jumper. It was showing its age when we went, so sad… nothing compared to our days Dave ! to us it was the best day ever sadly our children now expect so much more 😢 thank you for sharing ♥️

[@jamesdriver4277]

Loved watching this video. Such a shame that it's now closed forever. I've been visiting Flambards since the 80s and still have photos of me as a kid with Ferdi. I hope they save the Victorian Village and the Blitz part. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisaturner3130]

O.M.G you have taken me back 40yrs to 1984, l was 17 when l visited Flambards museum. It looks exactly the same. As you walked around there were smells and sounds corresponding to the area you were in. I don't remember the fun fair but there was aircraft and a helicopter outside that you could go in. I did have a brochure but it was left in London when l moved. Thank you so much for this video Dave xx

[@AWE83]

so amazing this place isn't it x and thank you for the message

It’s too bad this can’t preserved somewhere else. This is amazing! I hope this won’t be lost, English history!

[@johnthedog2857]

Brilliant thanks. I've taken my grandkids there many time's when they visited me in Cornwall. Always loved watching and photographing them having fun on the rides. I had a few goes myself, as a Northerner from Salford City I brought my kids to St Ives for many year's for the beaches and fun, The historic values for myself. I've sent your video to them all and lots of old photos, I'm sure they will be sorry this beautiful place is now closed down...well done for getting in without being arrested 😂

Just found a photo of my husband and I taken 8 years ago just by the peddle helicopters when we were celebrating his 50th. Before that we took our boys there and they loved the rides and the Victorian village. Such a shame that we were never be able to go there again. The name Flambards came from a TV programme of the same name. Heartbreaking that it will soon be just a memory.

It reminds me of EDEN CAMP museum in North Yorkshire it's 1940s war actually on the site of a prisoner of war barracks every barrack is part of the museum with shops, blitz, information, theatre the list goes on. I go often they would really appreciate all these antiques. Wow if I lived near Cornwall I would actually pay the security to let me in here to see round. Just wow 👌 this video is brilliant thankyou for this treat

Um, aren't you forgetting that this place is not abandoned because Flambards have recently posted on Facebook to say that they've had to deal with you trespassers? It's nice that you've shown around the place being closed down recently, but you're going to get yourself into trouble, especially if this video of yours attracts vandals, then it's likely that Flambards could sue you for this.

[@cornishmafia4]

Only shut after masked ball couple weeks ago mate. We were gonna go borrow some go karts but I can see from your video they all locked up! You boys caused carnage on Cornwall live 😂

Crikey! Blast from my past! Visited here in 1993. My mates Dad had just left the Army and we had finished High school the year before and started College together. My mates family wanted to go on a nice Summer holiday to Cornwall, do some windsurfing on some warm Cornwall waters. We visited a lot of places in our time down there. This place was amongst one of the places we visted while on holiday. I remember the place really well, I even have the photos of the place in my Cornwall Album. I had to send the films off to be developed, on the last night, we went on the beach for a last mess around, look for some Southern charm to finish the holiday off if you get my meaning 😉 Nice memory upload, Thanks!
