Crealy Park and Milky WayCrealy Park
We were heading down to Devon for a family weekend and decided to check out Crealy Park for a first ever visit. We arrived at around 3 and were only there for about 90 minutes, it was that empty! We rode the coaster, Pastil Loco which was a nice family coaster similar to Goofy's Barnstormer at Magic Kingdom. The rest of the park is pretty sparse, with only a few attractions. A good log flume, an excellent pirate ship, animals, and the usual adventure playground areas that you find in this area. Nice place for children but adults couldn't spend a whole day with out a child to chase around.
Milky Way
Milky Way is a bit of a crazy place, they had a pile of hoovers stacked in a corner of one of the buildings. The new attraction for 2007 was a very tidy looking Pinfari without a spot of rust on it! The lap bars were very enormous!! Also had an indoor batflyer called clone zone which was not worth the climbing through tunnels to ride! They had a very impressive adventure play area which we enjoyed running around with my 18 month old niece, oh and a couple of cool Death Slides!!

Glad you had a good time at the two parks, i have yet to set foot in that part of the country since i was about 8 years old, so i have not visited them.
I will have too visit them when i get the chance.

I wouldn't go out of your way to do them mate. I'd recommend them as a passer by attraction. Great for kids though.

I havent been there in years and love to go to those parks as I used to go there as a kid. That will be 3 new ticks for me if I did them.

I enjoyed crealy but wish i had done the death slide now! coaster wasn't bad, done a lot worse! we both got soaked on the log flume!
the milky way was werid! Had some good stuff though, great adventure play area. The clone zone was ok, picked up a bit of speed on the lift hill, then expecting to go really fast down the drop, but rolled into a break instead!!
I liked the look of the coaster wasnt bad and the breaks werent harsh either which is amazing for a pinafari!
Great weekend even better if you have kids, but it isnt essential, we still did the kid stuff!!!

I first went to Crealy when I was 9 years old and they didn't have any rides only the animals and the Treetops playground. I last went there back in 1995 and I enjoyed the death slide.
I expect you did get soaked on the log flume.
I havn't been to the Milky Way. Maybe next time I am down that way.
Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to either of them now.
