Owned by Douglas Kingsford Hale MBE, the park slowly built up an array of aircraft, models and exhibitions.

[citation needed] In 1984, "Britain in the Blitz," a mock-up of a bomb-hit street during World War II, was opened.

Early rides featured at the theme park included the Dragon Coaster, the Canyon River Log Flume, Paddle Boats, and the hype glide.

For the 2008 season, the Cornish Mine Train ride was added and the War of the Worlds paintball game was introduced.

In March 2016, Jurassic Journey, a permanent exhibition where visitors can follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs, opened at the Park.

These included the removal of trees around the Hornet Coaster, a new canopy on the Carousel, and improvements to park and ride lighting.

Other work that took place over the 2020-2021 Winter season included the demolition of the Indoor Stage and ‘Kingsford Hale’ Bar.

Various landscaping tasks also took place over the winter closure, including filling in the former ‘Remote Control Pirate Ships’ pond, to create a welcoming garden space, and the trees surrounding the ‘Cyclecopters’ and ‘Ferdi’s Indoor Play’ were removed.

This meant that ‘The Thunderbolt’, ‘Sky Swinger’, ‘SkyForce’, and ‘Hornet Coaster’ would be removed from the park ahead of reopening in July.

[4] In light of this, Flambards significantly dropped the entry price, and added 2 new rides for the 2024 season, Flying Planes, and a set of Dodgems.

During the additional closure period, 2 of the closed rides, ‘Thunderbolt’ and ‘Sky Swinger’ were removed from the park, and a general spruce up took place.

In an unexpected move, Flambards announced on 22 August 2024, that they had been working hard behind the scenes to overcome a supply issue, and by successfully replacing the main motor, SkyForce had returned to operation.

[6][1] Local MP Andrew George commented that the closure was "awful news" and that he had been assured that redundancies would be kept to a minimum.

There is also a "Dino-Nursery" including baby velociraptors and a "Dino-dig" – where children could unearth fossilised remains of a prehistoric boneyard.

The shop was sold at auction as 1 lot, and purchased over the phone, by Flambards’ Founder, Douglas Kingsford Hale.
