It's very sad to see a traditional coaster go like this! But am I to believe that Dreamland was shut down? Or just failing? Also, although the coaster thing is sad, I looked online at photos of Dreamland.... what a crappy looking park... it looks like a ghetto car-park travelling funfair, and even the "New Pleasureland" in Southport looks better. Perhaps a more popular theme park may take the unusual step of rebuilding it at their park, as a nod to the old coasters, maybe paint it in the traditional style, signage etc.

We were eating at a restaurant in Southport tonight, and asked the waiter if he knew what was going on with the old Pleasureland site, he said about it being open, so we were confused. We went over (it was night-time) and although it was all closed, there were signs outside saying "NEW PLEASURELAND" and that it was open, open during half term etc, and that it was free entry, it even bared Pleasureland Logos, but the pre-Moroccan-theme ones. By the old Moroccan Golf, a large sign says "FREE ENTRY" on a proper sign, in Pleasureland's font. There were also "now open" banners on another entrance. But the park still looks gutted from the outside, Casablanca is still shut down and gutted out. The Wildcat still seems to be standing, but there appears to be a loop in the middle, which is odd... Anyone any ideas what's going on?

Only thing though is that I'm the Coaster Wuss, and was even worried about the backward drop if it was anything stronger than Maelstrom at Epcot But I genuinely hate airtime, the feeling of coming out of your seat is something I really dont like. Until I read that, I was thinking the Mummy ride might be more like Big Thunder (Paris Version) or something.

Ok, Im now put off giving this a go, I wanted to, but... I HATE airtime!! I went to California a good few years ago and went to Universal, and in their Mummy attraction, but it was just a walkthrough attraction with folk jumping out etc... was the same building used? When did it change?

Why dont they let fat folk on? Im fat and fancied giving it a try... but then I really cant stand airtime... Blackpool's Grand National nearly killed me!

I injurred my knee on the safety sign inside the Grand National car in Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Nothing quite like an ironic injury.

Soap Box Racer thingies at Knott's Berry Farm.

I'll put it this way, a few years ago we had 4 days in DLP, the first 2 days were great, but by the end of day 3\start of 4, we were just wandering about trying to think of stuff to do! I'd say 2 days max!

Eeeeeeeeeeeveryone says that hun, but "looking through" an image is harder than it sounds. I've tried everything, looking through, relaxing eyes, staring hard, going crosseyed, moving my head nearer/further away. Its just frustrating that I cant seem to do it!

I think with me it's because my right eye is a bit fuzzy.... if I cover my right eye, I dont notice a massive difference, because it seems I mainly use my left eye, by default. I dont like the idea that I may not be physically ABLE to do them! :/

uh... we're both fat and have eyes? Apart from that, no.

Well... no... I made a post about magic eye, cant we keep it to that instead of movie references?

Ok, what am I missing here?

...wtf?
