Looking from where that picture was taken it looks like the back of the park. I haven't been since Knightmare opened but I guess there got room on the park to add a few funfair rides. As I heard the Rack gone and the coaster that use to be indoors before it got burned down.
Which coaster burnt down? Think you're on about a different park Sandy!
The location in question is definitely behind Whirlwind and the Dungeon of Doom dark ride - in an area used for an antiques fair every now and then. Unfortunately knowing the rate of developments at Camelot they're more likely to be preparing the foundations for a house as opposed to a new ride.

It was the castle facade for Tower of Terror, which became Loudon Castle's Twist and Shout.
I know camelot gets slated alot, but i actually love the place mainly for the jousting show and ridind knightmare. my idea of camelot would be for merlin entertainments to take over, and base it on BBCs merlin. As for camelot it does need a complete makeover.

That park does have some potential, but it needs someone with actual cash to put into the park and not be too desperate for an instant return of the investment... It'd be a long term project for certain...
If Camelot closes and Knightmare goes somewhere else in the UK, I don't really care (if it went to LWV it'd be amazing!). If Camelot closes, and Knightmare goes abroad or to the scrapheap, it'll be a huge loss for UK enthusiasts.
Are you not getting confused with Knightmare's original home? I have to agree with Sam. It needs to go to Lightwater. At least they would do the best they could to give it some TLC and a repaint... even if it took a couple of seasons.
My Best bet is that Knightmare will go to LWV when Camelot closes. I reckon that Whirlwind will go to one of them Smaller parks or go to a Medium park (Like Paultons or Oakwood) and Become a Dark ride. The Latter probably won't happen, But I think it's a good idea.

Where have you heard this? Got any evidence or any more information?
Not true.
The park does not own the ride, it's leased off one of the big companies (like Bembom, but *not* Bembom!). It's possible the company in question is Asian, though.
