A famed British theme park has announced two new attractions to mark its 105th year anniversary, which includes a much beloved ride that was scrapped nearly a decade ago.

Dreamland in Margate is set to see its vintage log flume ride return, and is also expected to reveal a host of new attractions ahead of the summer season. 

While thrill seekers are glad to hear about the ride’s return, fans are still wondering whether the theme park’s most famous ride – the Scenic Railways -, will also make a comeback. 

The Scenic Railway is Britain’s oldest rollercoaster, which was forced to close last summer after a gaping hole appeared in its wooden tracks, which resulted in passengers being escorted off the ride. 

The park will also introduce new virtual reality facilities. 

This summer will mark the park’s 105th anniversary, and 10 years since its grand reopening. 

The park first opened in Margate in 1920 and is considered to be one of the oldest surviving theme parks in Britain.  

Dreamland will open its doors for the Easter holidays on April 5 until April 21, and will then open on weekends and on school holidays.

The park will then remain open every day during the summer.

The park is also expecting some of the biggest names in music to headline its Scenic Stage, including The Sex Pistols, The Libertines and Maribou State. 

Dreamland CEO Eddie Kemsley told blooloop.com: ‘What a jam packed season we’ve got planned for 2025, which is only fitting for our 105th birthday and 10-year anniversary of reopening.’
