Hi there,
Yes, the Runaway coaster is still standing. Last I heard it was still up for sale.

Thye had the Ali Barber which was wicked and i have heard this is going to Dreamland - any truth in this.

It is a while since we heard any news about this ride. I have been asked for an update by the American Coaster Enthusiasts, but as I haven't been to Folkestone for a few months I don't know what the current position is. Is it still standing?
