Most of the rides at morecambe were re hashed, the haunted silver mine was infact the scream machine, again which can be seen during conversion on my website, the film the entertainer was shot at Morecambe Pleasure Park, the rides in the film, AutoScooter, Cyclone and Rocket Ride. Fun City was a bingo hall before that an ice theatre and before that an aircraft hanger

so cool 🎉🎉

I have loads memories if the eden project is a sucess and a new theme park

really interesting video yet again! keep it up man, your voice is very soothing ahaha <3

This video has got me thinking, has there been any other ride in an open park that has been SBNO for as long as Slammer has?

I’m now 55 years old and I have very vivid memories of this place and even though I lived in Leeds as a kid I visited at every opportunity I could even if it was only to come over on the first train out of Leeds and catch the last train back in the evening. I’m just glad I was able to experience this magical place as it has so so many happy memories for me. Thank you for posting this video ❤️

🥲Great memories of halcyon days💔

Great video. I have very fond childhood memories of this park. As far as i was concerned it was every bit as good as Alton towers in the mid 90s and was a lot closer to home. We had the highest log flume! Even for a kid, the lack of investment and decline was noticeable towards the 2000s. From then the theming didn't make any sense and moving the entrance so far from the car park was daft. You had to walk past the abandoned old entrance to what just seemed like a temporary side gate. Didn't exactly scream well funded world class theme park.

remember American Adventure was amazing.. at the time better than Alton Towers.. why do all these go to young family parks, they all go bust soon after great video

Had some fantastic days out at American Adventure when the kids were young! We loved it. So sad it closed!

I never went as a kid but can remember watching the American Adventure ads on the TV as they always seemed to be on. I never realised it was situated near Ilkeston. Very sad to see a once thriving park now all gone and replaced by, surprise, surprise, a housing development. Really nice job on the video.

I live in Ilkeston and I visited American Adventure many times in the early 00s as a kid. The fact that we had a theme park on our door step was amazing. In my opinion the owners that came in and thought shutting down rides would be a good idea were the reason the park closed down. I always wonder what could of been if the park was saved by a super rich company that gave it the investments it truly deserved. American Adventure is a reminder to EVERY UK theme park what can happen if you under invest.

Brilliant video, really enjoyed watching this, it must have taken a long time to pull together

A classic case of "too many cooks spoil the broth".

Why Aztec Kingdom, when it was Native American themed?

I was a repeat visitor in the 90s as a kid. I LOVED missile. We couldn't afford the likes of Alton Towers, but always had a great time at the American Adventure.

I'm so confused. I was born in 1973 and live in the Northwest but have never even heard of this place before.

This was the one I was waiting for and boy you did not disappoint 😊 brilliant video that brought all my childhood memories flooding back and gave me a little tear to what once was.

21:05 Fun Fact Runaway train after it's traveling convention actually did a year at Nottingham Goose FAIR 😊

I would just like to say, that I would like to dedicate this film to my late father Brian Carter who worked at Derbyshire County Council Reclamation Department, at the time when Shipley Wood , just changed to Britannia. And I can remember going down to see Shipley Wood just before the changes. Many thanks for the Happy Memories. Simon Carter

Can you imagine if it got the b&m and CCI coasters the place would have been amazing

It’s such a shame it went. I went to the site a few months ago and there is now nothing left. Great video as well

this was a really interesting watch! loved it!!

Nice video :D

Amazing video!!

Such a well researched video! Love stuff like this. Keep it up

Spent many a time as a kid with my younger brother and parents walking around Frontierland and Morecambe prom' every Summer as we waited to pick the Heysham/Belfast overnight ferry

Nicely put together video. I hate seeing parks die like this

Can you do mr marvel’s in Scarborough?

Who can remember texas tornado with the backwards train ride 😂

no Country Bears?

This one comes to my mind every now & then. I was only there once maybe twice, but it was around the time I was getting interested in roller coasters. This was the early 80s. I was definitely on the Texas Tornado & Mine Train. Sad to see it's demise.

I loved going here as a child, then one day I went (probably the year 2000) and almost all of it was fenced off with no access. The only rides operating where a hanful of travelling rides and i can remember just the log flume starting up (possibly for the last time) years later I learnt the history of the park. Years of neglect to Morecambe by the Lancaster City Council, the closure of the bubbles fun pool, the ending of the Morecambe illuminations, the disaster of Blobby Land, the derilict Midland hotel and the general lack of serious investment in the town the BPB company decided to pull the plug, starting in 1998 closing the back section of the park and at the end of 1999 closing the rest leaving only a small section operating in the 2000 season, after that season the park was abandoned with everything either demolished in situ or rides removed to other parks across the country. The polo tower survived until around 2017/2018 as it served as mobile phone mast. The log flume concrete section still survives, and that's about it! Fun fact for many years, the litter bins at Southport pleasureland used to have bands around them, saying Morecambe Pleasure Park. Obviously, these disappeared when that park closed!

11:45 I'm 100% certain that's me on the waltzer trying to spin it

I visited here 2 or 3 times a year from the late 80s up until its closure. The council should have stepped in to try save the park.

Does anyone remember the Hard Luck Bears animatronic show that operated at the park?

God I remember going on stampede as a small child. Cyclone also had a backwards train at one point.

Still walk past when i visit three times a year. Was sad when they started knocking it down in 1999. Child hood park gone

I spent many hours there as a child before the rebrand. It's sad to see that now Morecambe has nothing in the way of tourism to bring the families in.

No mention of the Jet Star 2 that resided @ the park for 1 year! (1981)

Frontierland was my childhood! Great vid, very nostalgic and quite sad in parts Also, pretty sure Texas Tornado used to run a backwards train occasionally, unless I've made that up..

Loved this ❤️ should do one on American adventure next. I miss that park 😢

I still have a t-towel from Frontierland that has the price sticker on it and a baseball cap and pin badges never used or opened. My lasting memories of the place include sailing past residents' lounge windows on your log-flume boat as they stared at you and you at them! (a surreal experience for the rider). Racing through the trees on the Texas Tornado and crossing the promenade on your Skyride gondola - your feet seemingly millimeters from the passing double-decker buses and lorries.

My mother and father used to take both my sisters and me here pritty much every other weekend in the summers of 86-90, the wooden coaster was by far the best ride there, by the early 90's the park seemed to start to look run down and grotty. the stampede was horrid i remember the cars having sand bags in them.

Mack rides launch coaster ohne Mackrides Züge?

love all of these minecraft theme parks you have been making :D

That looks so cool!
