Question about the Potential Future of Dreamland
Posted: 10 Feb 2003, 18:29
I would like to ask the Save Dreamland campaign what it visualises in the future for Dreamland.
1) How much car parking space do you suggest the park keeps, if any at all? If you are suggesting the park carries on with half its space, would that mean the Scenic Railway and everything on the Frisbee side of it, leaving visitors to use general Margate car parks?
2) If the campaign is successful, the only ride Jimmy Godden is obliged to leave is the Scenic Railway. He could sell on his funfair type rides to numerous different showmen/amusement park operators, or in a package deal to the new buyer. Would there be room for new, permanent attractions along the lines of the ones Dreamland once had? Or do you think it will be enough to have the Scenic Railway as the main coaster, supported by rides similar to those there now (eg. Frisbee, Seastorm)?
Thanks!
