Scottish Carwardine Colony

Scottish Carwardine Colony is a park owned by Carwardine Parks and operated by Virgin Group.

History
The park's development started in 1993, as the Virgin Group signed a deal with Carwardine Parks to open five properties with their name and licenses in Europe, with this being the first. The park opened in 1996 with "Children Coaster", an E&F Miler kiddie coaster, "Carwardine Mines", a Vekoma Mine Train, "Boomerang", a Vekoma Boomerang, and a whole lot of other roller coasters and thrill rides.

In 1997, the Carwardome Indoor Waterpark opened, initially only having three water slides.

In 1999, Impulse opened, starting a bulk of purchases from Intamin, with the park even gaining the nickname "Intamin Showcase" by some insiders.

In 2000, Thwomp Drop opened.

In 2002, Magic 8 Coaster opened.

In 2003, Slingshot opened.

In 2005, F.L.U.D.D. Coaster opened and Carwardome Indoor Waterpark received an expansion.
