Was wondering around Margate the other night after a Crew Meeting for work was canceled at the last min

and noticed how lovely it looks with the Dreamland Sign Lit up. Anyone know when they turned the lights on (since they didn't at all last season)?

I don't know when it was turned on but it sounds nice, would you be able to maybe get a pic?
Imagine what would have happened if they were turned on when the park was actually open and had operating rides.

The fin has been lit up most nights since the season ended. It was certainly lit up for the Exodus event and seems to have been on since then.
What the reasons for this are I don't know - but i'm sure it's not so the park is busier next season.
Probably so people can't accuse them of sabotage!

Drove past last night and already quite a few of the "bulbs" are out, I wonder if they will be replaced or will we get to the start of the season and find the sign is "switched off" owing to the lack of an ongoing replacement policy as the bulbs fail.

Maybe it's on a timer and just goes on every night.
Still a good thing. Maybe it'll help keep the public aware.
