Rollercoaster returns to Southport
August 14th, 2009A famous rollercoaster has returned to its original home in the North West.
Pleasureland in Southport closed in 2006 and the Wild Cat ride was dismantled and put into storage.
Sefton Council purchased the site in 2007 and leased it to leisure operator Normal Wallis who subsequently opened New Pleasureland.
New Pleasureland bought the ride back and it reopened yesterday. The first to ride it was Peter Crompton, who famously demonstrated against the park’s closure by climbing the historic Cyclone ride.
