What can I say realy wonderful, where have all those lovely memories gone. All the people are enjoying their self's not like today I am sorry to say.
I much prefer the old fairground rides over the modern thrill rides. They just felt like much more fun as they're rickety with minimal harnessing. Modern rides strap you in so you can't move which takes the thrill out of it for me.
Bless look at them all waving their hats on the coaster may they all rest in peace
Brilliant . I note some rides are likely prototypes of rides we know today . Some of those would still be considered a "thrill ride" even now.
When the Fair really was Fun……🙂
Love how everyone on the rides all wave to the crowd and no seat belts worn…you can just feel the real fun atmosphere of the time…unlike the ‘sterile’ parks of today…
Amazingly clear footage ! Brilliant piece of history!
Wow. Didn't know it was originally called Dreamland!!!
Dreamland Margate Funfair footage.
Fun Fact: You can still ride that roller coaster! It's the Scenic Railway at Dreamland in the UK
Great little film of Dreamland.
