Steve Gotkine, Chief Operating Officer at Dreamland:
“There’s a fantastic line-up at Dreamland to keep everyone entertained by the sea, so come and enjoy your summer in Margate!”
The Dreamland Drop
An adrenaline fueled ‘shoot up and drop’ tower, the ride rotates 360° giving a panoramic view of Dreamland and surrounding Margate. The ride has been custom built for Dreamland with Dreamland lettering running down the side of the ride and a decorative ‘D’ adorning the top, creating an iconic landmark for the park and wider town.
Named by the public, the new Dreamcatcher transports riders sixty feet through the air at 25 miles per hour in a thrilling ride. Seating 24 people, two per gondola, the ride gives an awe-inspiring experience that transforms from the horizontal to the nearly vertical.
Air Force also exhilarates visitors in a 360° thrill ride replicating the experiences and sensations of an acrobatic plane flight, banking, looping and diving across the sky, creating a sense of breathtaking weightlessness. Accommodating up to 24 riders at one time in six, four-seater aeroplanes, the action takes place up to 8m above the ground and ‘pilots’ experience accelerations of 3G, right side up and upside down as they fly high.
Pendulum is an exhilarating ride, which echoes the dynamics and excitement of the highly popular Mary Rose that saw visitors flock to Dreamland in the 1990s. As the ride begins to swing, it also rotates getting longer and longer for a totally mind-boggling feeling as land, sea and sky fly overhead in circle after circle. The ride’s gondola has capacity for 16 people at a time, with an innovative ‘half moon’ configuration allowing a family of four to ride in the same row side-by-side.
Pinball X is a newly re-imagined ride similar to the highly popular Magic Mouse that drew crowds throughout 2017 at Dreamland. A high impact coaster with a retro pinball theme and family appeal, it is sure to thrill all generations and features an action-packed course of twists, turns and exciting drops. Half way through the ride, the four-passenger coaches spin and whirl with gravitational forces and inertia allowing each and every rider the chance to enjoy a different ride, time and time again.
Soaring Seagulls is a family friendly, interactive ride features six colourful, hang glider bikes for the whole family to ride. The more you pedal the higher you go in this fun seaside themed ride. Once the ride cycle begins, riders are in the driving seat as they swoop and fly their way through the sky. This unique interactive ride is sure to put smiles on the faces of kids of all ages.
Up, Up and Away sees riders take to the air in eight ‘hot-air balloons’. Accommodating adults and children, with a minimum unaccompanied height of 90cm, the ride’s colourful spinning tubs and flashing lights will please even the youngest of visitors.
Designed specifically for Dreamland, Rock The Boat can accommodate up to 24 riders setting families on sail for an exciting adventure of rocking and whirling motions.
The 8 new rides are the latest to join the exciting ride line-up at Dreamland, where there is something for everyone from families to thrill seekers alike.
