To be fair as some of the old rides were made of wood they just wouldn't be allowed these days.

I remember Dreamland. It was on local TV a few weeks ago about them wanting to reopen it, but they would have to do an awful lot to it. While I was there went around for a week with a mate of Janice Nichols, but I don't think she took to me as nothing came of it.
