Well, finally got to revisit Dreamland for the first time since about 1987, and whilst it was pretty sad to see the park in such a sparse state (especially the car park where rides like the Water Chute used to be), the magic of the Scenic Railway still makes the park sparkle.
I went on three times (my girlfriend only managed twice as she hates wooden rollercoasters, although she admitted it was a really good ride, especially considering the age of the ride), but the highlight for me was seeing the workshop and the power room.
I just want to say thanks to you Dave, and John as well for making me so welcome and taking the time and trouble to speak to me and show me around. It made the day out a very special one for me.
Dave, please let me know when the park starts regularly opening to about 9pm or 10pm, as I'd love to ride the Scenic at night.
Thanks again and I whole-heartedly pray that you guys, Nick etc, manage to save not only the Scenic Railway, but the park too. Who knows, maybe in a few years time I'll be revisiting Dreamland in the sort of glorious state it used to be in.
Cheers
James
