Dingles Fun Park in Lifton, Devon, has abruptly closed its doors just two months after opening.
The sudden closure was announced on the park's website, citing "unforeseen circumstances" as the reason.
Despite local support, park manager Tom Ellis stated that high rental costs and an unsustainable financial setup led to the decision.
This development follows a similar closure of Oakwood Theme Park in Wales, signifying troubling times for UK theme parks amid economic pressures and declining attendance.
