Scenic Railway Roller Coaster, Wooden roller coaster in Margate, United Kingdom
Scenic Railway Roller Coaster is a wooden coaster at Dreamland Amusement Park featuring two cable lift-hills and a traditional double-loop track configuration. The ride travels through multiple sections at varying heights, delivering a classic wooden coaster experience throughout its course.
The coaster opened in 1920 at Dreamland Amusement Park and received Grade II listed status in 2002. The listing was upgraded to Grade II* in 2011, recognizing its importance as a historic structure.
The coaster represents a traditional form of entertainment that influenced British amusement parks throughout the twentieth century, marking the evolution of mechanical attractions.
The coaster operates during Dreamland's spring through autumn season, and visitors must meet height and safety requirements to ride. Checking current conditions before your visit helps ensure you can experience the full attraction.
A brakeman rides with each train to manually control its speed using the original early twentieth-century operating method. This traditional hands-on approach has become rare among modern roller coasters.
