Wow - read and seen pictures in the Dreamland Remembered book but never realised how bad that fire actually was. She rose from that so I'm sure she can rise again from the latest episode.

wow i new it burned down once before but i never realised it was that bad, well i hope to see it back up and running again in the hopefully near future, it was one of the first roller coasters i went on, and it was terrible to see it get burnt down by arsonists :cry:
