Seating 24 people, two per gondola, the ride will treat visitors to an awe-inspiring experience that transforms from the horizontal to the nearly vertical.

  • Fun
  • Thrilling and bold
  • A maximum of three words
  • Original
  • True to the spirit of Dreamland

The competition will be open from 9am tomorrow (May 18) until 11.59pm on Saturday, June 23 and can be entered here https://namedreamlandride.co.uk/
