Big Wheel

The Save Dreamland Campaign was launched by Joyland Books in January 2003 and is now supported by several thousand people. This is the place to discuss all aspects of saving Margate's famous amusement park and its iconic , Grade II listed Scenic Railway, Britain's oldest roller coaster.

The wheel will not be returning, but to say it is entirely due to poor visitor numbers is incorrect. There is another reason why it is not coming back, but I cannot really discuss it on a public forum.

M&D's are one of the UK's premier fairground and amusement park operators and they would have been great for Dreamland and great for Margate. Their involvement in Dreamland could have been more than just a wheel, but sadly, that was not to be. I don't know whether Bob knows the real reason for M&D's pulling out, but if Bob is who we think he is then I am sure that he does. People can be assured, though, that the reason he has given is not the full truth.

Oh, I forgot to actually comment:

At least it provided some temporary visibility for the park.
