I was born in Ramsgate Hospital and brought up in Margate my family owned the Modern Restaurant on Marine Terrace ,my brothers ,myself and cousins spent every summer in Dreamland . Very happy memories .
Just the memories of this place make dreamland better than any other theme park. Grew up near Margate and dreamland was my favourite place to go with my family
My mum used to holiday here as a child, revisit as teen, and today at the age of 82 she had a trip on the big wheel !! Thank you so much to all those who made this possible ❤️
Really appreciate all the kind comments. With a bit of luck and some wisdom amongst the people driving it, Dreamland will open on time. Keep the faith!
I spent many summer holidays in Margate so I was very pleased to watch this beautiful film of things to come in this forgotten coastal town.Thanks for sharing the sights and sounds of Margate
I have nothing but sheer respect and admiration for the entire team behind this project. Seeing the hidden beauty of the ruins of this historical asset to Margate, made me shrivel inside with sheer passion, and almost anger as to how it could be allowed to get I to such a dire state. Thankfully, the team are doing an amazing job! And I for one, look forward to the day when it's finally done! You should all be extremely proud if your work so far, and long may DreamLand reign!!
Cant wait until it opens again ,I used to love going there and now look forward to taking my grandchildren so that can have the same happy memories that i have...
this made me cry to see how dreamland has decayed as a teen i spend lots of time there and i got my first job there. and meet some lovely people there too had the best time in the bingo hall too .
Excellent! Good luck! As A kid Dreamland was just that a dream! Always remember as a child being taken on the round shaped boats that drifted through a cave like set up. Magic
Dreamland / Bembom Brothers was the place to go back in the day for decent fairground rides if you lived anywhere in the southeast. Then Chessington zoo upped it's game and suddenly traveling that great distance from Guildford to Margate wasn't so necessary. As a teenager 6 hours on a train was well worth it. You could buy a special combined return train ticket to Bembom Brothers. Happy days! I hope the new Dreamland will be exciting enough to make this new generation of children want to travel the long distance we often made. Best of luck.
Brilliant to watch . Broke my heart the fire , must have been so much worse for you . I have been since it re opened . Few more great summers, new rides as the years go on , you might have a new heyday yet . Long Live Dreamland
I went there, even though I may be 9, I still was sad to se what used to be a happy amusement park decaying away like that, I'm so exited for the new dreamland to open! 😃
Wow, what a great outcome. Well done Margate, I think this will be a great success. I have both been to Dreamland as a visitor and driven coaches there, so many great memories. GOOD LUCK. born again Dreamland. ps great video.
iam so glad all the people involved got together and saved this family attraction everyone i know was gutted it closed and went to ruin it was great in the summer in the 80s it will be a big success and bring in lots of money for the area thank you to everyone in volved for saving this ?
I was sorry to hear that winds over Christmas have taken down part of the Scenic Railway , so hope this will knock you back totally and you will open next year.
Here we are coming up to the Summer of 2016 and it is still a site? A lovely Dream to have our Dreamland back, as it was at it's height. That still seems a long way off, sadly.
So, I went past Dreamland yesterday. There is a half built scenic railway and nothing else. They are supposed to be having a 'grand opening' in about 6 weeks. They talked a good game. Can they back it up? Let's hope so. Don't let us down Dreamland.
What happened next? Dreamland was sold off by the Council for peanuts and all the heritage rides disappeared. Now it is a small park with just a few rides as the owners use the park for live music events. Shame On Thanet District Council.
I dislike the style of the Gallery. So out of keeping. I was born and brought up in Margate, I worked in the Park when I was younger, when Margate was bustling. it was great. Viva Dreamland!
you need new rides to people don't want just old it well no that in amusement industry you need new ride to bring people bk or other wise people stop going and the park gose bust I cant see dreamland working unless it runs like any other park with new rides
I was born in Ramsgate Hospital and brought up in Margate my family owned the Modern Restaurant on Marine Terrace ,my brothers ,myself and cousins spent every summer in Dreamland .

The biggest threat to Dreamland, Margate, and Thanet in general, is Thanet district council.
OMG I am so happy that dreamland will be reopened and be back and o cant believe spring 2015 I am ecstatic I can't wait
Are u going now
June 1963 spent our honeymoon in Cliftonville because we met there in 1960. A visit to dreamland was compulsory
FANTASTIC this channel is ALL for this 100%
I went there, even though I may be 9, I still was sad to se what used to be a happy amusement park decaying away like that, I'm so exited for the new dreamland to open! 😃
Great film, I really hope the project comes to fruition

Inspiring story
Lots of happy memories of Dreamland Park and Cinema. So sad that it fell in to ruin. Did they manage to rejuvenate it all?
sorry tim very good film liked the way older people remember times and old clips?
Cant wait untill its reopens next year this will bring margate back on its feet hurry up 2015 this place beats any theme park :)
Fantastic :-)

I live close to there and they have rebuilt it
+It's Active Gamer now it's closed again
I lived there for 3 years
We called it Bembom Brothers
What happened next? Dreamland was sold off by the Council for peanuts and all the heritage rides disappeared. Now it is a small park with just a few rides as the owners use the park for live music events. Shame On Thanet District Council.
Added to my watch later, too little too late to save the town as a whole though? time will tell
why do they say that hair on the neck stand up
Insurance job?
I so hope this work's.
I dislike the style of the Gallery. So out of keeping. I was born and brought up in Margate, I worked in the Park when I was younger, when Margate was bustling. it was great. Viva Dreamland!
The Turner Contemporary building is a horrible building. It couldn't be worse than that. Ruin the beauty of Margate.
you need new rides to people don't want just old it well no that in amusement industry you need new ride to bring people bk or other wise people stop going and the park gose bust I cant see dreamland working unless it runs like any other park with new rides
