Hi there,

What a brilliant video!!

I am producing a production of Rogers and Hammerstein's CAROUSEL this September and am looking for original footage to use in my production as part of a campaign to re open Dreamland.

Would I be able to use your footage?

Thanks.

A cut between the Racing Coaster and the Scenic Railway. The Racing Coaster was the smaller of the two and stood at the rear of the park. I was lucky enough to ride it in the 60s with my Mother. I think this long lost ride was burnt down in the early 70s. Thirty five years years later, the unthinkable happened to the Scenic Railway. Thank God most of it was saved. Lets hope Dreamland will reopen again to relive our childhood dreams. Thank you so much for posting these vintage videos.
