A short article on the BBC Website about some of the now defunct Theme and Amusement Parks.

It's shocking how many parks have been removed over the years but with Dreamland and the new Paramount park I hope we could see even more parks been built.

No mention of Camelot, probably the most recent casualty. I remember going as a kid and was lucky enough to take my 2 children in the last year it was open. The diesel powered dragon seemed enormous when I was little, not quite as magical when you grow up and get a face full of diesel fumes

Interesting to say see Belle Vue on there, my parents always say how they remember it when it was open!
