All my queries on FB and by email have been answered.
I'm sure in the early days the staff were overwhelmed, and if the non answers were not recent, it could have been teething problems.
My initial problem with ticketing was sorted out as soon as poss, and a further prob nearer to opening day where I couldn't log on to the site (probably my fault) to print out my tickets was efficiently dealt with, by email, by Ian Garner, Dreamland Systems Administrator.
I was in Margate the days before opening. Though not on site, I did see the work being done to transform the shabby exterior and the surroundings. Gallons of white & pink paint deployed.
I also saw the work being done on site while we were waiting in line / listening to the opening ceremony.
Heroic.
Yes the Scenic is still down but at a guess people are going to moan about that once it is up an running. My veiw is it will never be the same and is only a copy of what was there which is now caught up in 2015 regulations.You could only ever do so much with what was left, it is a first class job.
Yes it is a first class job, and yes, I'm waiting for the moaning! But hey it's there and it's nearly ready!
We really can't wait to return to Dreamland! We had a WONDERFUL time at the opening day & evening. I suppose we went in the frame of mind to actually enjoy it, and we did.
Vince if you havnt been you are missing out on something quite magical as those rides have never been operated with so much energy in their life
Yes!
The staff I can't praise highly enough. I have some mobility probs and I'm a tad er... chubby, we all had a laugh hauling me on and off rides, lovely young folk who didn't make me feel the old fogey I am (though inside I'm still 16, honest...) but behaved with great sympathy and made the day such a joy.
Dave, please pass on my thanks. And I can't wait to meet you again actually ON the Scenic xxx
