Thanks for reply

You have any ideas whether the ride is still in storage or has it been scrapped?

As for Money issues i think BP would have given it away for next to nothing unless its been scrapped

Well, if it was next to nothing I suspect Nick would have snapped it up... but then there is transport etc etc...

No doubt he will be along soon to add more...

Thanks i await hes reply

I only ask because a few members on the forum (PBE) think the Tumble Bug that Dreamland will have may be the Blackpool Version?

Like all good new year's resolutions, I see ours for watching our spelling has been broken. Groan - back to deciphering gobbledegook then and what some people are really trying to say!

The Pleasure Beach Turtle Chase/Tumble Bug was scrapped a number of years ago, although some of the cars were sold by the park on eBay. Had the ride still existed we would certainly have snapped it up. We would certainly like a Tumble Bug for Dreamland, as one operated at the park for many years; that is why it is showing on our earlier plans.

The only rides we have taken directly from the Pleasure Beach are the adult and junior whip rides.

That's too bad. Tumble Bugs are a lot of fun and are exceptionally rare now. Only 3 or 4 operating.
