Mr Marvels & Atlantis Water Park - Scarborough North Bay

Mr Marvels amusement park in Scarborough, North Yorkshire closed in 2002 and nothing has replaced it since. I took a walk round the old site on Scarborough’s North Bay to have a look at what remains, as well as the site below where the Atlantis Water Park used to be.
Starting close to Scarborough’s North Bay beach, my walk takes me past Peasholm Park, North Bay Railway and the Open Air Theatre in this gem of a location on the Yorkshire coast.

It's been left like that unused and derelict because for some reason Scarborough Borough Council seem bound and determined to turn Scarborough into some kind of ghost town. Which is why they demolished the futurist theatre, planned a multi plex cinema for the north bay, then decided to have it near the market and stopped renewing the shops leases. Then once they had more or less emptied the block changed their minds back to the north bay and are now talking about having it in the brunswick centre in the old Debnaham's unit. But we are all expecting that to fall through by next year and them to go back to north bay or somewhere else, all the time nothing is actually being built, just lots of money being spent on proposals, and meetings etc. Not to mentions the thousands being spent on the new cycle path along the A64 that very few people use, and the stealth speed restrictions being put in at the same time, making getting to Scarborough even more of a nightmare than it already is because all the speeding up and slowing down is just causing the traffic to become more congested. Scarborough has the potential to because the UK's best seaside attraction but it needs a good road to get here on, i.e a dual carriageway all the way from the York ring road, and for the Council to put in new attractions instead of closing down the old ones and talking about doing stuff.

[@philliphaley1241]

I didnt know that...but im not suprised they make enough money to not bother with public opinion...I think we need public meetings with more public than councillors.. Dont forget that high % public opinion is more powerful than council or gov power,,but if you have no members your not effective... I would love to form a Public council for scarborough but im busy with Leeds.. Phil...Wishing you every luck as i believe in you..

[@Mrs.R21]

Not forgetting filling in the old south bay outdoor pool 😠 I’m sure they were clearing the top of mr marvels around 2003-2004 got a hotel complex but had to halt due to newts?

[@catherinegreen225]

Disgusting. Same with the Floral Hall theatre, sacrilege 😢

[@thesudricmerman3318]

Also need huge improvement in rail connection one 1 train an hour not on especially if that one and only train get cancelled as well as electrification

[@gordontaylor3489]

I first went to Scarborough in 1970 with my parents when I was 10. I remember the open air pool at the North Bay. I also remember the North Bay Cafe on the corner which had a model railway in it. I went back to Scarborough about 15 years ago while on holiday in York and was very surprised at how much the area had changed. The highlight of that day was once again seeing the Naval battle at Peasholm Park and walking round the tree walk wonderland. Gordon Taylor, Scotland.

[@ricjuk]

Went on my first ever holiday to Scarborough in 1986. To a young kid, this area of the town was a magical, endlessly interesting and entertaining place to be. Peasholm Park with the naval battles and the nighttime tree walk, mini golf, Kinderland, the water chute, the miniature railway, Marvels, the swimming pool and slides and obviously the beach. Amazing memories.

[@robertharris1850]

Exactly as I remember it aswell.

[@paulross2914]

I moved with my family as a 10 year old in 1977 from the industrial Midlands Scarborough was so exciting to us and I remember this as Zoo and Marine land and remember swimming in the North Bay pool. I left in 1984 but still visit frequently and am saddened at what has been lost, mostly to neglect and lack of maintenance, to which the council usually uses as a excuse to get rid. They are definitely not interested in the residents of Scarborough. I loved that area and it was so lively and vibrant in the summer, especially Peasholme Park and the tree walk.

[@popazz1]

The drone footage gives us a greater idea of just how vast this area is and how so much could/should be done to rejuvenate the area. As a kid in the 60s/70s Scarborough, and Whitby, were the 'go to' seaside destinations, as far removed from Middlesbrough as you could get, not geographically of course, but just in terms of removing yourself from the humdrum existence of everyday life. A week was never enough. I remember after one particularly enjoyable holiday there when I was 14 I just got it into my head I was going to live there and get a job, lol. So on the Monday morning after we'd returned home and after Dad had left for work at 6 a.m. I took the suitcase I'd packed the night before, sneaked out of the house and got on the coach to Scarborough from M/Boro bus station. A sea-front ice-cream parlour had jobs going so I headed there once I arrived. You can tell I'd not thought this through, hahaha. I don't recall the owner's name but I vividly recall he was a huge bloke, of Italian heritage, if memory serves, and the business was very well known. Of course what I didn't factor in was A) My mother was at home, frantic with worry and B) I was only 14! I was back home before Dad got home from work at 6.30 p.m. Had a visit from a very stern police sargeant who gave me a right bollocking, lol. I got a leathering off my Dad too. Aye, the daft stunts we pull as kids when we think we know it all.

[@Dirtybootsboy69]

The Italian ice cream gentleman may of been called Jaconelli I remember seeing his name as a youngun in the sixties.

[@hazelhart2354]

Was is Pacittos? There's one left in Redcar and I think Scarborough, the one in Stockton shut years ago :(

[@CalliesDiaries]

I noticed the water shute, there is a fully operational one at Wickstead Park in Northamptonshire and it's a listed building! I love retro/vintage amusements that have managed to survive! Thanks for sharing all this footage and research.

[@Boosh1973]

The water chute in Scarborough is still in operation.

[@leighjohnson3720]

Another great video - and I remember going to the Marinepark and seeing the dolphins (in a very small pool) - and a walking bear on a lead. There used to be life size dinosaur sculptures and volcanoes. The waterpark was also amazing for its time and I recall other kids being really jealous when I told them about it when I got back to school. Kinderland was also pretty amazing and worth checking out and was located in the area beside waterflume. So sad to see it so neglected now when it has such potential.

[@sajwilswilson2186]

[@lewis72]

My grandparents, now long since departed, lived in Hull. Back in the mid '80s, we would sometimes go up to Scarborough on a day out when we visited them. I never went into the water park by I do remember peering through the turnstile and seeing this amazing scene of slides, pools and people having a lot of fun !

[@ian3902]

I got married in Scarborough and my wife and I along with some of the wedding party spent the day after in the pool, the water slides being a real novelty

[@nataliewitterick4800]

My parents used to take me on weekends away to Scarborough from Teesside, we used to love the outdoor pool and amusement park. Now I wouldn't visit more than a day as there isn't much there now, it's really sad how much it's been left, I didn't realise it was coming up 20 years since it was shut down!

[@bobbyfunface4469]

I cant tell u how many times ive been on those chairlifts , always in motion, the thrill of the slight bounce as u get on and then up and away as you pull up over the trees and bushes, the machinery and shelter, really takes me back nice job !

Thanks Becky. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@stevekaye565]

Very fond memories of days spent at the outdoor swimming pool whilst on holidays in Scarborough 😃

[@antonyware9887]

I was in this area yesterday on a nostalgia trip with my Grandaughter. I'm filled with strong emotions as I recollect my long lost dim and distant child hood. I'm now 67, my Grandaughter 22 and my parents used to bring me every year for a holiday from the late 1950s until about 1967. We were looking for Northstead and the street where we used to stay. Peasholm Park is still beautiful. The area where the water park was and the corner cafe is a disgrace and a major disappointment.

[@gillianstapleton7741]

I remember Marineland very well, and went on the chairlift many times!

[@jessiehandley3128]

Great video,you are completely right about how sad it is how it's been just left.Brought back great memories of the water park it was so popular.

[@user-mt1zm9rp3z]

Loved Scarbrough always went as a child, so sad to see the demise, I remember in 1967 going to see " the student prince" at the open air theatre, it was a wonderful experience for a child, magical! So sad it's been left to rack and ruin!😔

[@markhargreaves8990]

I had many happy family holidays in Scarborough in the 70s. I came here because I lost my Dad this year. Mum died five years ago. There have been many memories stirred as we sort out the house. Scarborough will always have place in my heart and memory. It pains me to see how the town has suffered. Having moved south I have not been back since the late 90s. So many of the places I remember have been closed and/or demolished. The Cafe at North Bay Sands was the place for Knickerbocker Glories and Ice Cream Floats. Marineland was always a treat as was the Railway to Scalby Mills. Peasholm Park and the Naval Battle was always on the list. I really hope that the town starts to get the investment that appears to have been so sadly lacking. Perhaps one of the long term effects of COVID will be a revival for our seaside towns. I wish Scarborough well. The town deserves better.

[@mcebe]

I remember visiting Mr. Marvels in the 1980's with my family on holiday, I still have a photo of me as a little boy stood near one of the dinosaurs that used to stand on the site. I remember that it rained all day and we got soaked.

[@mattacdavison6890]

Great memories of peasholme park walking round there with my grandparents, they lived just up the road from it, loved kinderland too that was great. Unfortunately for Scarborough the Zenith project as it was known by never really took off, the council need and should get there fingers out and use the sites to bring back some decent open space for the loacals and tourists Scarborough needs it desperately.

[@kerrywoolford4699]

Yay I remember going to kinder land as a kid . Wonderful memories

[@mattacdavison6890]

@@kerrywoolford4699 yeah the only bit that’s left is the water Shute, which is still going strong. Shame it closed as it was such a good attraction for kids with plenty to do. Lots of fond memories though of that and peasholme park and the night time walk in lights

[@scarboroughrider]

I’ve lived in Scarborough all my life 47 years. I remember going to zoo and marine land to see the dolphins, the old open air theatre just before it closed, it’s now wonderful , I remember finishing school in the summer term and all piling down to water scene as we got a season pass after 4pm for £5 . Yes a fiver. Kinder land was Awsome . The ball pool and those bikes were Awsome. Sadly the boro council are clueless with no vision for the town. Leisure has changed but the council are stuck in the 80’s still and fearful of what to do with these great sites.

[@andreejor]

Brilliantly revealing video, with drones it's no longer possible to hide dreadful sites like these behind high fences, as a North Yorkshire resident I am ashamed at the poor management by Scarborough Council. An open park with little development would be best, but if redevelopment is needed, then get it done. How is the 'Futurist' site coming along?

[@chrisbourne9]

how about doing something for the local children to enjoy instead of aiming everything at the tourists? You all pay very high community charge to make Scarboro nice for the visitors...what about the residents? xx

[@OldDavo1950]

I remember back in the 1950/60s walking the Marine esplanade to the park to watch the Naval battle and go for a ride on the miniature railway. Marine esplanade on stormy days was a challenge.

The thing I remember about my 1st visit as a kid was the model ships battles

[@kimmace1334]

Totally agree its a beautiful spot...a nature reserve would be a brilliant outdoor space and should be open fir all to enjoy...the views alone are stunning

[@stuarnott]

My strongest childhood memories of Scarborough are of the dolphins and fibreglass volcano/dinosaurs in Marineland; the naval battles in Peaseholm Park; It’s a Knockout at the open air theatre; a joke shop in the town centre; and seeing summer shows like The Krankies at the Floral Hall. And, that film clip of Water Scene unearthed a forgotten memory of nearly drowning there! Must have been 1984. Scarborough had it all. Sad to see the council failed to invest and keep it the best holiday venue in the UK. Still, your video has inspired a trip, we’ll definitely come visit next summer.

[@ecc84]

Don't expect anything from Scarborough council they are hopeless i mean look how long it took them to repair the pier in Whitby oh and don't forget the the futurist theatre.

[@G4RY1159]

All councils are the same, the area where I live now along with the town I was born has all these daft art like objects or roundabouts that are all lit up at night but the roads are a state, the councils never have the money for the RIGHT things but plenty of money for the WRONG things. Even charging us all £40 now to take away our brown garden bins, I'm 20 years in my house and now they need £40 to take away a bin, just what are they doing with all the monthly council tax ?

As a kid Scarborough was my favourite destination for day trips on the train with Mum. My favourite area was what I called Peabone park so I was wondering why I didn't remember Mr. Marvels? Ahh, opened in 1984, my visits as a kid were in the mid to late 60's. Nice memories, thanks.

Interesting piece. Came across this purely by accident. I know a customer of mine who lives in that new block by the sea, so glad to find out the history of the place. Also, if anyone's interested, have a look on Google Maps street view and move the little yellow man, and you can go slide back in time to 2008, and still see the water park slides, and then you can move forward in time, and see who the whole site degrades to what it is today.

[@Tapper1969]

Great video. I was born in Scarborough but left aged 10 in 1979. I used to swim in the North and South Bay swimming pools which were brilliant for the local kids and holiday makers alike. I never saw the later changes to the amusement park but I loved the pools as they were in the 70s. Peasholm Park, seafront amusements and the cinema were all go-to places as I grew up. I missed all of that terribly when I moved away. Great memories so thanks for making this.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it.

[@kennethprobst8105]

Great video. I've been coming to Scarborough annually for nearly 70 years. I believe the cable chair lift closed after people were thrown out at the Scalby Mills and and sadly died. This starting the closure of the theme park. The open air theatre in the sixties was the best with proper shows musicals on regularly and fireworks on a weekend. The queues were 6 deep and went from the entrance, past the Corner Cafe and found the Corner past the Waffle shop and toilets. Great days

[@steveg7368]

[@snoozeasaurousfamily2834]

Although I am not Scarborough born, it is my chosen home. Locals have said that the council wouldn’t renew the license for kinder land, so it had to close. The cinema due on the old outside pool has been promised, for several years, but recently they have removed the boards advertising this info from the site. Personally I enjoy the old fashioned Hollywood plaza and think the new cinema would make the family run business struggle. Scarborough lacks in door, bad weather facilities. So it would make sense to offer some in door facilities. Enjoying your videos, please keep them coming.

I can remember my parents taking me and my brother there in the late 60s and also taking my 2 boys in the 80s/90s

I remember coming down to Scarborough every year with my grandparents and family members when I was wee . We have photos of us up at mr marvel’s with the zoo then the theme park and going to Atlantis for a swimming. I took my son to Atlantis swimming pool when he was wee and he loved it . It’s sad to see it’s all gone now

I remember that chairlift. I also remember the water park, which frankly never appealed given the weather in Scarborough… it was rarely warm enough to enjoy! And, nice to see a clip of former Hull City chairman Don Robinson in his day job 😃
