Dreamland is being broadcast on the television tonight. Tune in to BBC1's The One Show, at 7pm, for live chat with Wayne Hemingway, and interviews from the Park.
Please pass through the turnstiles if you are riding again.

I thought it was fab as well, longer than I expected. Right at the start though so missed the first minute!

Didn't know this was on but have just watched it on Iplayer. Was great to see such a positive and lengthy segment and hopefully little things like this well help bring people's attention back to Dreamland.
I particularly like the quote stating "Dreamland is funded by the community" as a reference to how much Margate seeks the return of this classic attraction.

made a point of watching this,sad looking around at the neglect of the 6/7 years but good seeing the turnout and people wanting to put pride back into the place they stay which is sadly lacking nowadays.Positive for margate as a whole and good publicity for the future
