Exploring An ABANDONED Amusement Park! | MR MARVELS Scarborough.

We explore MR MARVELS - Scarborough's iconic, abandoned amusement park in North Bay!
Mr Marvels first opened in 1969 and closed for the last time in 2002. The iconic park featured a full array of different rides and attractions - both permanent and temporary and experienced a HUGE draw for tourists visiting the East Coast throughout the 80's and 90's.
In our latest video we return to the site of our former favourite childhood amusement park to see what has become of the site and just how much is actually still left.
The site on which Mr Marvels once stood was earmarked for redevelopment following the park's closure in the early 00's, but to date (as of today - 28/02/2024) the site remains abandoned and derelict.

    I was 3 in 98 but I can remember my dad almost taking me on the cable car I started to cry so he never took me on it 😂😂 my sister remembers it a lot even the roller coaster I've been coming to scarborough for 30 years next year 1995 and I still go to this day! I really want to write a memoir about it I've put away a novel idea set here too so we'll see 🤞🤞💖

    I remember when Mr marvels American fun park adventure first opened back in 1984 . I was 19 years old at the time ,it was an amazing funfair in its day and it was great. I remember when first chair lift was installed it's was brilliant and always busy .it's sad to see it in its state today and left abandoned for so long 😢

    I remember the smaller chairlift, took you from Peasholm Park direction. Remember that around 1999/2000 ish, me and my sister were going to go on it, but it was wet and the attendant was drying off the cars. But we were still unsure of what it was like. I was about 9-10 at the time and now 34

    Wow, what a fantastic memory! We'd forgotten there used to be two chairlifts as we only remembered the one in south bay - so great to take a closer look at what remains today for sure 😀

    I may be wrong but maybe the gates that are open were the gates that lead you to Kinderland
