A trip down memory lane as we look around the site of the former American Adventure theme park. The park opened in 1987 but closed in 2006 due to poor sales. Thanks to Paul Beesley who very kindley let me use some of his photo's that he took of the park a few years back when it was still open. Please visit his excellent website at http://www.ridemad.com

  • good vid mate

  • Awwwww, this video is so sad to see. I worked in retail in 1995 full time and on the rides in 1995, before I had to get a nasty booring job driving a truck. I have some of the best memories even while earning £3.00 an hour. I take my kids to wheelgate and twin lakes and butlins at skeg and I have seen a few people who worked on the rides and maintenance. Id love to see the site before its redeveloped. . .so sad :(
