As we mentioned on Tuesday, things were progressing with the AI-500 and a potential site. Well, things progressed a lot quicker than we thought following a site visit this week, and we’re pleased to announce that this years’ AI-500 will be held at Flambards Theme Park in Helston, Cornwall on the weekend of the 11th April!

The site is honestly breath-taking, sitting at around twice the size of Cleethorpe Amusement Park; a previous location for the AI-500.

To get a rough idea of the size of the site, this YouTube video gives an aerial view of the site –

There’s also a cartoonised version of the map –

Pricing for the event will be tiered. Those who attended Anzio Point and AI subscribers will be eligible for a ticket at £100. These tickets will be available until the 20th January, however can be extended provided we are given the heads up. Tickets for new players will begin at £110 as an Early Bird price, rising to £120 after the first 100 tickets have sold.

There will be ample space for on-site sleeping, along with power, a canteen running on the Saturday and Sunday, and a fully licensed bar on the Friday and Saturday nights.
