Hello I don't know if any of you remember but back in 2003 or 2004 there was a roller coaster called the ariel glide that I think was rescued from a theme park that was closing down and I'm sure nick would remember this and have some information on the ride and if it was saved and if we could possibly be getting it in the future , it's a lovley looking coaster and would be great in dreamland !

That's a darn shame, something 100 years old and absolutely unique being taken apart and scrapped.
