King Kong Horror Haus

Postby nico » 24 Oct 2008, 19:13

Hello everyone,
first: I'm from germany so sorry for my bad english!
Over a dutch web-page i found pictures from 1976 of the ghost train King Kong Horror Haus. After some investigation, cause i thought it was a ghost train which is now operating in germany under a different name, i found out that the train went to the Dreamland Margate. My question is now in which year the ghost train arrived in Dreamland and what happend to it after the park closed?
Many thanks for your help and nice greetings from germany!

if you can post some pictures or a link to them and let us see what it looked like we may be able to help.I seem to remember a ride of the same name was at wonderwest world ayr in scotland as a concesionary ride around 1993,1994.It stuck out because haus was spelled in german and i may even have a picture of it somewhere if dig out old photos
