i have seen video of it but not for some time

i remember the Starburst Video shop used it a lot but dont know of any photos of video of it

Not seen any of the inside but I'm sure there must be of the outside

@@MrSouthessex Surprisingly there is still very little of the outside, I managed to find an old photo where you can see the paintwork on the front. Pretty sure they got rid of it before I was even born so I guess Ill never know.

It wasn't tho ...you only know what you have now ..there was still plenty to do and fast rides... ...unlike now it's jammed with every type and arcades in middle which used to have the old boat.

@@ljc6535 dude it didn’t even have any of these iconic rides: rage, axis, dragons claw, tidal wave, time machine, the archeleon, green scream just to name a few

@@igotdarkaether4813 well no of course it didn't but back then we knew no different and it was good enough for us..Thorpe park Alton towers was just starting at this time and they never had all the rides they do now obviously built up over the years .

@@ljc6535 oh ok I see well thanks for taking your time to explain your argument I guess i respect this place now for what it was but I still prefer adventure island thanks

@@igotdarkaether4813 yes As do all the children now in our family and probably think the same as you if see this.

I walked past there last weekend and thought the same thing

Yes that was along time ago now

For the better imo

@@igotdarkaether4813 well back then it was good...it has just got way bigger now ...liked the old boat they had ..

@@ljc6535 I hope adventure island can turn into the next Thorpe park

Same mate!

Its still there along side the pier i made this film in the 1990s i will be doing another one trying to use the same spots i did for this one

Oh good,, All is well in the universe; it’s just in the video it seems to be inhabited by construction machinery instead of go-carts

@@thelwulfeoforlic6482 i believe this was around the time the boating lake was filled in and an access way under the pier created to join the newer part of what is now called adventure island to the older...so some space up alongside the pier was needed its all back much the same as it was before

Glad to hear it brought back happy memories

Holliex it’s not at Thorpe park it’s a different model

Mr Duncan's video diary They’re the same type of ride. They just make it too quick at TP, you’re only upside down for about one revolution and it’s going back down again. I know it’s busy but still.

@@holliexbx5613 ok last year I went on zodiac and it was not busy I asked can we do the full cycle and he said yes the operator. By the way I went on enterprise first at Alton towers before Skylab and Skylab is older I can tell by the axel that lifts it to the vertical position and the whole way it's designed is late 70s looking I am going to consider a visit next year I know it's not that good as it used to be and I remembered raging river in the 90s my 2nd ever log flume

What’s it called at Thorpe park?

Thank you for the positive comment

It's there!

Thank you

Sorry to hear you have bad memories of what is a nice coastal area

John Clark Yes it was near the toilets near the three shells cafe. I thought it was just me who remembered it 😁

Went on that with my daughter wouldn't touch it now though

Which ride was Barracuda?

@@largeslappy Tall whirry one :)
