I love the old scenic there (just miss the old mountain scenery paint job.) Lets hope it's still running when the ride hits 100 too!

A million visitors to the Yarmouth park each year eh. Handled properly, a reinvigorated Dreamland should be able to match that easily, surely? WHo said beachside amusement parks weren't viable.

Good luck to all who sail with the Pleasure Beach, I hope it will be one swell party!

I imagine it will be, because unlike Margate, Great Yarmouth isn't largely owned by an idiot.

Hi

Just shows what can be done if an amusement park has the right management at the helm, a million visitors a year is a good number and I am sure with the weather we have had and if the good weather returns the numbers will be up on a milllion visiors this year.

And i am sure Dreamland managed correclty will make those numbers easy.
