Does anyone know why Loudoun parks rides are just rotting away rides including "The Appllo" and "The Looping Star" though I realise this was not the origanal coaster at dreamland when I was a kid (atleast I dont think so) but I am sure it was the one that arrived at dreamland about 10 years ago.

I know the reasos why the park shut I just wonderd if anyone has any info on why the rides have not been dismantled yet?

rides are up for sale,easier to sell a ride that can be shown working. they all looked in good nick a few weeks ago when i was there

Couldn't you have tossed the Looping Star in the back seat of your car un-noticed?

Now theres a nice thought

I found a few pics of the (now) Loudoun Looping Star getting constructed at Dreamland on The Dreamland Trust archieve:

Just check out the top right for the link to the gallery

Was looking through YouTube this morning and discovered quite a few video's of the now "abandoned" Loudoun Castle.

Some of the rides are starting to look in quite bad shape which is a shame

That S&S Tower would be ideal for Dreamland. Very intense and very small footprint. Wonder if the Bembom Brothers fancy donating it !!

noticed that quite a few of loudouns rides are up for sale under norway,looks like the bemboms are selling most of the remaining stock off some of which were originally sited at dreamland
