Apple Coaster.

I was in Aberdeen this afternoon, and had a couple of hours to kill before the Margate train was due to depart, so I went to the local amusement park which is called "Cadonas"

They have a brand-new big wheel which is called the "Grampian Eye" Not as big as the London Eye, or our own late-lamented Big Wheel, but impressive nevertheless and the locals are apparently very proud of it, and quite rightly too.

The kiddie-coaster in front of it seemed vaguely familiar.......

The Apple Coaster even has a webpage with a couple of photos.......

Does anyone know if this is the ex-Dreamland Apple Coaster?


Although Cadonas is a small park, it is clean and well cared-for and showed once again how good Dreamland could be if it was owned by someone who actually wanted to run an amusement park, rather than make the maximum financial profit by building supermarkets and casinos.
