I remember visiting Southend many times after the final closing of the Kursal in my younger years and with only Peter Pans Playground at that time to appeal only to younger families the place was dead, a resort well and truly on it's knees and without Dreamland that is Margates future.
I visited Southend this year for the first time since Peter Pans became Adventure Island (with my young children) and the place was heaving, the busiest I have seen it for many a year and the thing is this was during February half term!
A well run Dreamland will bring people to Margate like no other attraction and it could just save the town from the get rich quick brigade at Waterbridge.
