Hello
I went to Southport today 2 November 08 and the Storm Coaster at New Pleasueland has been dismantled and loaded onto trailers for removal.
The Storm (formally the Gauntlet at Camelot) is believed to have been up for sale.
The remaining rides are at the South end of the site near to the main entrance like last Winter. A Haloween party and foireworks display took place as planned.
According to reports on the New Pleasureland Forum, the park is to re-open for the 2009 season.

The long term lease was awarded to Urban Splash earlier this year for a development which was to include apartments etc. but there appears to be some delay with the project.
