"Thanks Camelot for putting on an awesome day for us, and for letting us in free! Thanks it was awesome!

Knightmare is awesome, I say go ride it! Really hope it does the business for Camelot they deserve it." - Martyn Ashworth
"Joanne and myself had a great day yesterday, it was good to meet everybody, thanks to all concerned for the fantastic organisation, hopefully this won't our last trip as we enjoyed ourselves so much.
Hopefully Knightmare will keep Camelot going for a good few years as I hate to see any theme park shut down especially when they have rides of such a high calibre as Knightmare." - John Crellin
"Its been a great day and glad I could meet you all! Even though I was the youngest there, I had a great day n want to say a huge thanks for arranging it all!" - Alex Reid
