Morgawr is a steel kiddie powered coaster built by French manufacturer Soquet currently located at Camel Creek Adventure Park in Tredinnick, Cornwall, England, UK. The ride opened in 2010.

History

The ride originated from France and first opened at Camelot Theme Park in 1984. It was named Knightmare. It was given a space theme and renamed to Space Mountain for the 1985 season. It became an enclosed coaster in this transformation. It got its second name and theme change in 1988, becoming The Beast.^[1] The ride eventually closed at the end of the 1995 season, to be rethemed to Venom. Venom reopened in 1996.^[2] Venom would close for good at the park in 2001^[3] with the intention of building an entertainment centre on its former spot. These plans were canceled however, and the ride returned to its former spot, but lacking its showbuilding. It wouldn't operate like this however, and remained SBNO up to the end of the 2004 season, where it was removed from the park.

Venom was sold to and was relocated to Tir Prince Family Funfair in Wales along with another Camelot ride The Quintain, where it reopened in 2005. The train was now shorter, going from 5 to 3 cars. The ride itself also received a repaint. It operated at Tir Prince for 2 years, closing at the end of the 2007 season.

The ride was sent to Garmendale Engineering, where it was refurbished and recieved a new train, before being relocated to Cornwall's Crealy Great Adventure Park, where it opened in 2010.
