sadly I cant I'm at uni right now with no car so I'm only willing to take a 6 hr train journey at Christmas and the end of the year

Fair enough dude.. today is week 3 of demolition and it is predicted to take 8 weeks. I'll keep you posted.

Demolition is ongoing at an alarming pace. Slide tower is now inaccessible.

This is awesome, something quite poignant about thinking about peoples childhoods spent here being lost. And those slides 😍...amazing! It's making me think, has anyone every reported an abandoned theme park?

Came tonight in the hope of one final tower climb. Sadly, the stairs that were at ground level where the fire exit was have now been completely ripped out.

Me too! According to wikipedia there are over 1000 defunct theme parks in the US...now there's a good enough reason for a road trip!

UPDATE: Just been chased by security. Tower is now demolished. Think carefully if you're doing this site. Good luck!

Do you think it will still be worth it by Christmas cos that's when ill next be in the north east I imagine by the time I get there it'll be gone which is crazy
I can remember going there when I was younger

@rednax - I drove past last night, and there is still plenty to see. It now actually looks like this is going to go beyond the 8 weeks and in to 2025.
