Mr S. Bow 55 - I agree entirely..

Follow the link to their gallery and lo and behold..

The Rodeo Switchback!!

What?! I hear some of you ask..

Well this is a very special ride for me and means so much.

Why?

I'm sure Manning's Rodeo Switchback was the very first ride I ever remember going on..It was at Clarence Pier Portsmouth..early to mid sixties??..I remember a bell sounding before it started..

Great pictures..

If I ever get to Devon then Dingle's Steam Village will be my first point of call.

Steve,

I paid the site a visit, and made a donation!

Looks like we will make a trip down there some time.
