Dreamland's Scenic Railway closes for good after more than a century

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Dreamland Margate in Kent announced on Tuesday that the amusement park's Scenic Railway would "take well-earned retirement from operation as a ride". A restoration of the Grade II listed rollercoaster was completed in 2015 after it had closed in 2005 and suffered an arson attack in 2008.

Scenics are no longer considered thrill machines but it breaks my heart when one closes. They’re every bit an important part of amusement park history.

Looks like a fun classic ride.

That looks like a ton more fun than what I was expecting.

Promoter of fog.

Does it have a dude with a handbrake, like the one in Tivoli Gardens? I rode that a few years ago, and it was a bit unnerving.

Quite a bit speedier than Leap the Dips

15 mph can be terrifying when the track is buckling and sagging from lack of maintenance.
