DREAMLAND EXPO
Dreamland Expo - an interactive and immersive exhibition evoking the atmosphere of
Dreamland, charting the revival of one of the UK's best loved amusement parks and
looking forward to things to come - opened on Sunday 25th May 2014.
After two short introductions by Dreamland Trust Project Director Eddie
Kemsley and Chairman Nick Laister, the ribbon was cut by the Trust's company
secretary Susan Marsh. Then the crowds flooded into the former arcade building and
had a taste of things to come, with elements from various rides that will be operating
in Dreamland and a cinema showing archive film. Over 1,000 people walked through
its doors and the atmosphere was electric.
