A Lancashire
seaside town which is now a shadow of it's former self following the
downsizing and eventual closure of the Frontierland theme park.
A tour of Frontierland
site 13 September 2008
I revisited the
Frontierland
site on in september '08 and everything was about the same, with the
exception on the Polo Tower which had scaffolding around it as the
local council had ordered the owners to clean it up.
I visited Morecambe on 29th July 2007 and the place was very
quiet, considering it was the beginning of the busiest week of the
year for holidays. The travelling fairground next to the
Midland Hotel was also deserted compared with Southport Pleasureland.
I also had a look inside the former Frontierland but nothing has
been done since my last visit in 2005, apart from the front hoarding
being painted blue and the Polo Tower being secured.
The Log Flume remains mothballed, although it is not really
secure. and if it is left another 5 years it will probably end up
being levelled like the rest of the site. A new building is being
constructed at the back of the site but this appears to be yet
another retail unit.
