  1. Dreamland unfortunately is now a mirage. There is no vintage theme park despite tens of millions of pounds of grants charitable donations and public money having poured into this venture, which has only served to enrich those associated with hedge funds .
    Why would anyone in good conscience wish to be involved when all that can be done is to record the demise of this theme park as a result of its mismanagement by TDC and manoeuvrings of individuals associated with hedge funds involved in the site .
    It must be so disappointing for all with a genuine interest in local social history and theme parks .
