OT but,
Yes, was located at Cricket St. Thomas between Crewkerne and Chard on the A30, visited it many times as my Gran (who lives in Crewkerne used to get a season ticket) and Gran's used to be our go to place for holidays. Billed as the worlds/UK's? first TV theme park. Had most of the BBC children's characters represented there.

It's now a Warner Leisure Hotel and operated as both that and an animal park for 10 years before the animal park was closed (as I understand they had to keep the animal park open for 10 years as part of the deal to be allowed to build the hotel, but Kids and an adult only hotel don't really mix), the grounds are however still open for visitors. Mr. Blobby's house supposedly has been removed to stop people trying to find it (that section of the grounds being fenced off/out of bounds).
