DREAMLAND should not be obliterated this beautiful park has to be saved for future generations to enjoy. the scenic railway a grade 2 listed structure cant be demolished its one of only two scenics left in this country if it goes the only one left left would be the scenic railway at great yarmouth pleasure beach. we want this stopped i have so many memories of wonderful care free days at DREAMLAND. THEY CANT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. IF DREAMLAND IS CLOSED THEN THE SCENIC RAILWAY SHOULD BE MOVED TO ANOTHER PARK AS HAS BEEN DONE WITH SOME COASTERS IN THE UNITED STATES WHEN A PARK HAS BEEN CLOSED FOREVER. IN ALL DREAMLAND MUST BE SAVED IT CANT BE ALLOWED TO BE DISTROYED SAVE DREAMLAND FOREVER.

Maybe you should read some of the history and facts on the site before posting this thread.

I for one will not be voting on your poll, because what you are suggesting has already been done to death, and the answer is on the site for you to read.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

I share your views that "this beautiful park has to be saved for future generations to enjoy", however in this instance relocating the Scenic is unlikely to be a realistic option. The developers recently launched a misleading 'computer game' in which you can delete and move the Scenic, but in reality this is far from the case, not least because it is a listed structure.

...and 2 of your options are virtually identical.
What's most unique about the Scenic Railway at Dreamland is that it is the only surviving example that is in it's original location.
