Camelot - It’s Only a Model

The Saturday of the ECC Knights and Legends trip saw us meet up with a load of folk at Camelot and beginning the day with an ERS on Knightmare, their new coaster for 2007.
The ride was originally in Japan but, when the park closed, was bought together with the rest of the rides by a business consortium. Various rides were bought and can now be seen all around the world, but no buyer could be found for BRMX and it was left in an expensive storage facility at a dockyard in the UK. Camelot’s owners were able to do a deal to allow the ride to be “stored” at the park instead.
It rides very smoothly apart from a few kinks in the track. The highlight is definitely the “psycho drop” which pulls 5G as it twists downwards.
