Loved this old park and its classic Cyclone; never got to ride those trains though! True wanton destruction of this iconic park; just left to gradually burn down year on year sadly. It's certainly true; you never miss what you have until it's gone.
If only we had that time machine now and the foresight, I'd have taken quite a few more rides there, especially the Cyclone. I also joined the Cyclone Campaign to save it but, alas, they finally got their wicked way. Hope the fun can return again.
i hope blackpool are happy for destroying southport what comes around goes around great vid they pinched the traumatizer too blackpool pleasurebeach is a dump full of druggies
I absolutely adored the river caves and my heart broke when it was burnt down, How on earth did they get away with knocking down the cyclone in such a disgraceful way?
just like to say R.I.P to pleasureland southport sadly last night the river caves which has been standing for 2 years untouched burnt down to the ground at 8pm yesterday, it has been derlict since. thanks for the video
Thanks very much for this superb footage! I'm very happy that someone has filmed the river caves, fun house and Cyclone. I had my 13th Birthday party in the fun house Southport.
I fought to save this park from destruction (google or search on youtube 'granada tv cyclone' you will see our protests and demos to try and save the rides and parks. Well done on your film, thanks for posting. Pete Crompton, Southport Preservation Trust.
