Closed Theme Parks

Does anyone miss or remember these lost parks, most of which opened long ago. I remember Dreamland from when I was very young.

I havent been to any of those But when i was young
we use to go to this theme park in Colwyn Bay it was
called The Happy Hour i think one of the Collins family
use to run it i think it closed in the1980s

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

I survived them SB but some of the cog wheels were very dangerous

Well Astwood, everyone moans about and pokes fun of Health and safety laws. Most were put into place after pretty horrific deaths.

With the speed these rides go today there is no room for errors

Call me a coward but there arn't many of these rides you would get me on today.

Nor me mate i would rather keep my feet on the ground

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.
