M&D's, Theme park in Motherwell, Scotland
Description
M&D's is an amusement park in Motherwell, Scotland, with 41 attractions including roller coasters, water rides, and an indoor tropical house called Amazonia. The complex spreads across several zones and sits directly next to Strathclyde Park.
History
The park opened in 1996 and has since changed hands several times, including a brief administration period in 2020. After that period, the facility passed into new ownership again.
