DREAMLAND ON THE ONE SHOW
Dreamland was featured on BBC One's The One Show with Chris Evans on Friday
31 st January 2014. The show included extensive footage of the park through the years,
mixed with interviews with various people involved in the rebuilding of the site. The
project's creative designer Wayne Hemingway joined Chris Evans in the studio
afterwards and spoke enthusiastically about the work he is doing on the project.
PROJECT UPDATE
With the new Project Director, Eddie Kemsley, now fully in post, work is progressing
apace. We have now finalised the internal layout of the buildings and work is
progressing with a view to finalising the external layout over the next two weeks. The
first set of tenders has been returned for the rebuilding of the Scenic Railway and
work will start in the spring.
Adverts will be appearing in the World's Fair next week requesting expressions
of interest to restore a number of other rides, and we are looking to acquire a number
of additional rides. The rides we are looking to acquire include: Dodgem track
(minimum 80' x 40', vintage, with 22/24 cars), Lighthouse Slip (wood or Ali),
Caterpillar Ride (vintage, park model), Grasscutter Twist (Edwin Hall or similar type),
Octopus, Dive Bomber (double or single arm), Satelliteffrabant, Flying Coaster,
Rotor, Ghost Train (vintage).
