Thank you all for helping me and others get a picture of how far the members range from and to give us all a bit of background knowledge of each other. If any new members would like to post here please feel welcome as I'm hopefully this will be a good way of us all to get to know you.

Definately-I've asked him the same questions a couple of times. His profile doesn't give us any more clues either. Oh well, he seems to be a rather elusive character:

Mark 39 years old
Been a Chelsea fan for 35 of those years and mad about roller coasters for even longer!
Somewhere at my mums house I have a photo of me about 2 years old posing at Dreamland!
My earliest memories are holidays in Great Yarmouth riding the roller coaster,the (long gone) Snow White ride and the snail rides at Joyland and the Pleasure Beach!
Since those days I've riden a few more coasters and I'm a Disney Vacation Club member.
I try to visit Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris with my family (wife and 2 young daughters) at least once a year, and living very close to Thorpe Park and chessington have annual passes at Tussauds.
The best rides at any park though are Woodies and it is important that the souths last remaining one be saved along with the rest of the park (with rebuilt River Caves!)

Name: Dave Dunmall, 31 years of age (eek)
Location: Gillingham (Kent)
Hobbies: Nightclubs, Pubs, Dancing, Music, Gigs/Festivals (Glastonbury etc), Restaurants, Films, Comedy, Travelling, Karaoke, Vintage Arcade Machines, Locating Table Tennis Balls of Historical Interest, stalking 1980's pop stars (don't think you've got away Limahl) & protecting the integrity of Venezuelan Hermaphrodites.
The best outcome for Dreamland would be a sympathetic renovation of the site without altering the key aspects of what is there already. Plus a machine that scans people for Burberry clothing as they come in, one of those old boys that "meet and greet" at the big Asda stores that still smile when little boys kick them in the shin & Ride Token Booths operated by the Chimps from the PG Tips commercials.
I would be happy for anyone old and new to run the site as long as they truly gave a rat's ass about the area & the people as opposed to the pound - I'm still hoping that Jimmy Godden will wake up in his Bunny-Rabbit PJ's and Hair Net with the Ghost Of Dreamland Past standing at the foot of his bed……..

Name: Tony Potter
Age: 40 (ouch), last month
Location: Essex
Hobbies: Funfairs, Theme Parks, Member of FAGB, Visiting new places & fairs.
Outcome: Dreamland, and the people of Margate, deserve a world class Amusement Park. This should be grounded upon the past but with all that is required for a modern, lively place. The current state of the site is criminal.
Owners: A forward thinking, TRUE, Amusement operator.

Name: Kyle Sund
Location: San Francisco, California, USA
Hobbies: Motorcycles, VWs, jukeboxes, DJing occasionally.
I manage a doctor's office for a living.
What would you're best outcome of Dreamland be?:
Green areas restored. A couple incredible rollercoasters designed to intermix in the space as well as some cafe's and other reasons to come. A day trip as well as a place for locals to drop by for a bite to eat and enjoy some music or just relax and socialize.
Would you prefer new owners?:
I prefer anyone who shares that vision. More shops or running it as is aren't really options.
