We hope you enjoy viewing it as much as we did filming it and hope that it has taught you at the very least something new.

Hi Mark,

Great documentary over on your Coasterforce website; just a shame about the rather noisy background music etc! A good insight into the park though, especially the Scenic Railway's operation.

I'm sorry I couldn't seem to vote on the video on your site as I do not seem to have the correct type of membership or something. If I could have done though, I'd say it was very good overall. Very well presented and edited I thought (just a shame the general media couldn't seem to broadcast something along those lines to reach the general public).

Actually, thinking about the media, I've just remembered having a small (well, 2 people) film crew come round my house last year to film an interview with me about how seaside resorts have changed over the last decade or so. I obviously spoke about my memories of Dreamland and its rather uncertain future. I thought it was going to either a satellite History channel or Discovery channel, but have never heard anything since. Probably worth trying to chase things up there.

Indeed. Nothing would please me more then to see this go out on a more mainstream media. That way it would reach even more people!

Still, the internet is a large medium and therefore it will still reach a rather large amount of people!

Well I have been posting it to some local friends and some people from the usa and they seem to think it's great

That's really good to hear! Cheers.

Are you directing them to CF to download it then?

I love the fact I can keep a count of the number of downloads so far..

Currently 255, which I can tell you, is pretty impressive and is going at a similar rate to the Stealth video!

lol yes i am directing them there, hopefully will get some people interested in CF as well

Downloading it now.
Eagerly awaiting.

This needs to be sent to local newspapers and radio for inclusion on their websites.
Obviously other coaster enthusiasts will care, but it needs to be exposed to the informed general population.

It was fun to see everyone.

I want a private tour with the shirtless guy, too!

Behave yourself Kyle, there is another guy there that was worth getting to know too ! hehehe

I see that they have added the video to the Video section of the Official Dreamland website.

It was fun to take a ride on the Scenic. Not the wildest ride around, but a nice little jaunt through history.
