The best place to take pictures is from the top of the old NCP car park beside the high rise flats as the park is fenced off to the public.The only other location is at the back end of the tunnel arcade through the glass doors.
Rebuild the scenic u know it makes sense!!

i know theres good pics that can be taken from the the train (always see a good view when i'm going past on the train. So sorry you was saying no1 can go into that car park near the flats because it looks like you can just walk straight into it (that i remember that is, aint walked around margate in a while).

You can go into the car park near the flats,go to the top level and you will get a good view of the park.What i meant was the public has no access to dreamland.You can use the main car park but you cant walk around the park itself.

I went past Dreamland last night and all I can say is WOW. Although you cant see much at the moment because everything is behind the Scenic Railway, the three big attractions can be seen and they look great. The fact that there are two rides that are up to Thorpe Park standard (Top Buzz - Samurai, Drop Tower - Detonator) makes me think this is the best thing to happen to the park for a long time. Also from what I could see the park looks tidy which is somethink I havent seen there scince Godden took over. I for one cant wait to visit this year

I'm looking forward to this too. It'll mean that I won't be so disappointed if I can't make it to Thorpe Park this year. So apart from the rides already in the park, what other major ones will there be?
