RIDES

COLLECTION

Dreamland has been the home of vintage fairground rides for over a century. 

Its main attraction, The Scenic Railway first opened in 1920 and is the oldest wooden rollercoaster in the UK. Unlike other wooden rollercoasters found around the world, the Scenic Railway is powered by two cable lift hills and is controlled by a brakeman sat in the middle of the train.

 

Our Rides Collection Archive showcases a number of the rides from Dreamland across the years.
