Given the kiss of life using lottery and council funds, Margate’s famous amusement park was revived after many years of dereliction. Attractions include the 39m Dreamland Drop and the stomach-wrenching Pendulum but the main ride is the Scenic Railway, a 1920s heritage-listed wooden roller coaster rebuilt after an arson attack. There are plenty of other period rides and attractions to keep adults and kiddies thrilled, some shipped in from other defunct 20th-century amusement parks across the country.
On top of funfair rides, Dreamland is now an events venue attracting acts big and small. Either pay as you go or don a wristband for unlimited rides.
