Many Scousers will remember these from childhood
Generations of thrill seekers across Merseyside and beyond have headed to popular amusement parks for decades for a special treat, a school trip or to celebrate an occasion. Through the decades, many happy memories were made at the likes of Alton Towers, Drayton Manor, Thorpe Park and lost sites like Frontierland and Camelot. More closer to home, many families have headed to Southport Pleasureland or Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
After 26 years, it closed at the end of the 2015 season and remains a favourite memory for Thorpe Park fans. Nowadays, Tidal Wave is joined by Rumba Rapids, Storm Surge and Depth Charge, as the park’s quartet of water rides. Another lost Thorpe Park ride is Slammer which opened in 2005. Described as a Sky Swatter thrill ride, Slammer was one of only two of this style of ride to be manufactured, Surrey Live previously reported. After twelve years of operation, the attraction closed in 2017.
