The vintage theme park Dreamland that was restored and reopened on the British coast in 2015 is undergoing further improvements this off-season.
The theme park, in Margate, Kent, is landscaping a large area of the site and opening up a new garden boardwalk, as well as an array of art installations. Increased greenery and the addition of artworks will help create a more cohesive site experience, adding colour and improving the environment of the park.
Dreamland, famous for its Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster, is also adding some new rides, including the Brooklands Speedway, the Wedgwood Tea Cups, the Crazy Mouse and a new Teddy and Betty Land. Other rides, like the Waltzers, that had their heyday in decades past, have been restored.
The heritage theme park has faced some challenges since it re-opened. Operator Sands Heritage went into administration amid financial problems, but the park said it remains confident that visitor numbers will continue to rise after it switched to a "pay as you play" model.
The amusement park will reopen on 28 April.
