UNCOVERED! Relics of Sanger's Menagerie at Dreamland

Dreamland, Margate (UK) is one of Britain's most famous seaside amusement parks. The park, which opened in 1920, is home to the Grade II listed Scenic Railway roller coaster, the oldest operating roller coaster in the country and Britain's first listed amusement park ride. It is also hugely important to the area's local economy as the Isle of Thanet's most-visited tourist attraction. In January 2003, the owner of Dreamland announced that the park is to close and be redeveloped. Click here for the latest news of the campaign to keep the park and the Scenic Railway open for future generations to enjoy.
