So glad you’d came back to my local park! Yes it does need a bit of work and some more rides but sure makes for a great little day out! Hope you’s had a great day!

[@JackTmny1019]

Forgot to mention the gallions and musik express are from dreamland margate and rip tide from the US, I have a few old bits of ride signage and have some what of a friendship with the owners

[@ObsessiveGeek]

A bit of work? A shit ton more like! It’s an embarrassment that we cannot have a much more thriving amusement park in Scotland, this could me given a huge overhaul to bring it up to similar standard to Blackpool at least, I’d make it mostly enclosed too so it’s able to operate throughout the year. It’s such a same this is the best we have.

[@JackTmny1019]

Yeah absolutely but still the rides we have are some that are very uncommon in England such as music express or runaway mine train

[@ObsessiveGeek]

@Jack-fo2tj Runaway Mine is very similar to a lot of other family coaster layout rides, usually Caterpillar themed coasters, and the Musik Express is a typical retro Waltzers nothing special at all. Loads of retro style fun fares/amusements around England you'll see very similar rides.

[@PTVlogsUK]

Yeah we gave it a try and the fact Theo loved it so much says it all. Yes, it's not be best looking and so much more could be added but hearing from a few guys there, say they are hopeful for some more additions to the park and who knows what the future holds

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Paul Megan Theo and little Margo thank you for another great video as always what an amazing fair Theo loved the slides they looked amazing aww so nice to see Megan and little Margo Megan you are looking so well have a great day 🙂

[@PTVlogsUK]

Thank you 😊

Another great vlog paul and theo great to see Megan and margo in Scotland I hope Megan enjoyed it look forward to seeing the next one

[@PTVlogsUK]

Thank you 😊

[@danielledewitt1]

Oh yes that alert last weekend. My phone screamed at me and the government found something else for my barkaholic dog Buddy to bark at.

[@racheljohnson9687]

That's a cute little park if your in the area 😊 that Music Express ride wasn't as fast as its European counterparts, it'll be interesting to see how Sedgwick is running the one in Blackpool 👍

[@PTVlogsUK]

Yeah, we'll be doing that one soon!

[@clayton9916]

I think youve done this vlog justice. Considering the size of the place and what it has to offer, i don't think you could have done a better job for them

[@PTVlogsUK]

Thanks for that!!😊

[@robloxfairgamer9149]

First to comment! Loved M&D’s

[@anthonyhitchings615]

Great video we have a disco ride in the US I haven’t seen one in a long time but they are very nice ride in the show that for sure I made a sign of the ride

[@PTVlogsUK]

There's quite a few in Themeparks now, but much bigger

[@susanbaker1523]

Hi PT Vlogs UK awsome videowhat cool rides M&D has got i canot believe you rode my 3 favorite rides Dancing Galleons Rip tide and Musik Express if i ever go to M&D those will be the firs rides i will go on first like i said awsome video

[@PTVlogsUK]

Awesome... As if the slides are on your top list!! Lol

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello now are you all love your blog fancstic best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤

[@PTVlogsUK]

Thank you 😊

[@jimmysnailshoes]

I like the look of M&Ds Scotland theme park, I think we'll visit this year, another great vlog

[@ObsessiveGeek]

It’s nothing special, it’s more of a fun fare than an actual theme park. Much better putting your cash into one of the far better resorts in England.

[@PTVlogsUK]

Get on that slide though!!

[@craigpartytime298]

Just wanted to say that as a new subscriber for only a few months it's been really good to watch you visit many different fairs and parks, and it's great to see the courage Theo has for going on some of the rides, but the best thing about watching is to see the great father son relationship that you guys have and it makes me think about what relationship and experiences I would have had with my own son who unfortunately passed away a couple of years back after contracting meningitis aged 5, so it evokes fond thoughts of what experiences we might have had, so I wanted to say keep up the excellent vlogs and videos, and hopefully as Theo gets older he won't be to cool to hang with his dad, much love and respect, keep blogging, also congrats to you and Megan on the new arrival!!

[@craigpartytime298]

Would say it's decent value at £20.0 for wrist bands means you can ride as much as you want all day I suppose

[@PTVlogsUK]

I'm really glad you enjoy our content. You're not the first person to point out our relationship as father and son!! I'm really sorry to hear about losing your son at such a young age! 😢

[@craigpartytime298]

@@PTVlogsUK thank you! I appreciate the kind words, and yes was so young but can't change the past! Big respect, much love, keep the exceptional relationship going, and I have learnt to accept life is life and stay strong! Thank you!

Lovely to see little Margo again, Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach is getting a Musik Express soon with a Caterpillar cover, hope you can come down and ride it when it's open, love those dinghys! Huss Pirate Ship, ProTec Twist, Reverchon Log Flume, don't know the make of the Mine Train coaster but it looks amazing! Preston & Barbieri "GTI" Dodgems, Preston & Barbieri Jump n' Smile, Zamperla Disko, Preston & Barbieri Wave Swinger, ether a Pinfari or SBF Visa Big Apple Coaster, ConFolding Group Miami, ether a Bertazzon or a Preston & Barbieri Musik Express, That is a really cool place with a great line-up xx

[@PTVlogsUK]

Interesting to learn the manufacturer of the jump and smile... It's for kids really, it's nothing on an actual frog ride

[@RogerT-kt3zd]

look at the state of this place now!! this look a hell of a lot better back in the earlier 2000’s. it looks shambolic now. couldnt believe they had took the tordnado and tsunami away when i saw this video. what a shame. doesnt even have the ferris wheel anymore, also noticed the magic carpet isnt there either, one of my personal favourites… jesus this place is so badly run down. The kamikaze was also such an awesome ride in the early 2000’s ive never seen that ride ever since.

[@hazelmanship7516]

Great vlog 😊

[@BristolianDaysOut]

I went to M&D last year and there was not that much there, Also there is a traveling disco ride at Brean Theme Park

[@PTVlogsUK]

I'm pretty sure that Great Yarmouth pleasure beach has a travelling Disko too!

[@dylanedwards6913]

Great vlog guys, that twister is the one from Tir Prince in wales years ago now m&s now owns it, great vlog 👍

[@PTVlogsUK]

I watched back that vlog to fine we've both done it hahaha classic

Cracking vlog as always, the Twist is the old Tir Prince machine and the Pirate Ship is Pleasure Beach and Southport’s old Tidal Wave!

[@PTVlogsUK]

Oh wow... I just watched back my Tir Prince vlog and we actually did it!! It was much faster in Wales. The guys from M&D's emailed me telling me about the boat from Southport so I've done that before too! (Would have been in Blackpool too)

The twist is M&D's bought last year or year before when they bought the miami. Taylor's is the surname of the owners at M&D's.

[@ObsessiveGeek]

They own a bunch of traveling fun fare’s which is pretty much all this is without the traveling part

So it's Matthew and Douglas? I think Douglas is part of GEA now? Is that right?

[@ScotChef]

Wow nothing fell apart!? Amazing 😂

[@ObsessiveGeek]

Question: what is the theme? I feel it’s far too generous to call this a theme park, it’s a fun fare. Very sadly neglected without any notable update to when I went all the way back in 2008 (if anything it looks worse). It’s a shame as it’s a lovely area it’s in and some real investment could bring this up to being at least Blackpool standard (which is an amusement park, not a theme park)

[@PTVlogsUK]

To me, this is an amusement park. It's a bit different with the whole mix of rides that are fixed and travelling. With the whole rollercoaster situation, I don't think they've had the best of years... But they can only go forward

[@ObsessiveGeek]

@PTVlogsUK A fun fare doesn't need to be mobile. The owners also have several travelling fares too so I feel that says it all. I doubt they care enough to put any real investment into this area to get it closer to what i would consider amusement level. Having recently just visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach, after some time, I don't even think it would be that difficult to achieve a higher standard than that as a lot of it is still very dated despite the area around Icon looking much nicer. I believe there may be a limit on how high it's possible to build around Staphclyde Park and likely how large they could expand if they wish though I'm certain that far more could be done to make it a park to be proud of.
