As an American the fact that there are all these castle ruins just chillin around the country is so wild to me. I'm trying to think of what the American equivalent of building a theme park around an abandoned ruin would be - maybe we can revitalize Detroit by building a theme park in the ruins of an old car factory or something.
Is it weird that as a Brit who's quite used to ruined castles littered around, i find the prospect of an abandoned car factory decaying away very cool and would love explore it
@@christopherburr7857 I think it's the history and lore around it personally. Like in America most buildings are usually at the oldest 400-500 years old but there's so many castles in "The Old World" that are like. Older than my whole-ass country. Which is probably normal to people who walk by them every day but for me that's wild.
Took a drive past Galston yesterday and it looks like the chairswing has finally been dismantled. Loudoun Castle wasn't much, but it was the best local theme park we had in Scotland. Loved that place!
This was my favourite place as a kid. I use to go crazy, sadly all we have left is MnD’s and anyone from Scotland on here knows how “amazing” that is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was my first theme park and first rollercoaster, twist and shout. It was sad to see it sbno for so long but glad it is now back in action in Croatia. Great video, bringing back many memories.
DaddyMcMuffins yeah Alton is definitely not mediocre, in my personal opinion it’s one of the best theme parks in the world mainly due to its marketing scheme with the rides and the stories behind them
Very sad the drone footage part with the music seeing that Apollo chair lift structure just dying there. I actually remember seeing it as a tiny kid at the Dutch park ("Ponypark Slagharen") alongside its brother. I remember having a map to the Dutch park and the two globes very prominently featured on there. In the 80s these types of rides looked amazing to a child. The fact the Loudoun park operated so many hand me down coasters and other rides probably didn't help ever boost attendance figures as much as a new coaster would have done, but at the same time I can't help but think many UK parks don't seem to take aesthetics seriously. That Schwarzkopf Slitherin' coaster has become Brontojet in Italy and now looks in MUCH better shape. It shows you what can be done with even old(er) coasters. New lick of paint, new parts, new trains with modern restraints, new controls and staff would be operating in a safer environment and there never should have been anyone dying from pushing a coaster train. Look at the coaster where the death happened ("Rat" at Loudoun) and what it looks like now "Käpt'n Jack's Wilde Maus" in Germany. Again in MUCH better shape now than it ever looked at Loudoun. It makes me worried about the condition of some smaller coasters around the UK that look like crap and are still operating constantly. What is their safety REALLY like? UK councils don't seem to help these parks however, and seem to be far too interested in keeping old towns around the country looking exactly the same whilst eventually almost all high streets have disintegrated regardless and several old theme park sites are left to rot. I think councils could do far more to help theme parks around the UK try to stay relevant and good looking. Sad.
Andrew Keyz “what is the safety really like” a bit shit- scottish theme parks seem to have some of the laziest safety inspectors; look at the incident in M&D’s with that coaster car that flew off the tracks. my dad’s work acquaintance used to know the guy that was supposed to check the safety of the coasters- he turned up and then left without running any proper checks on at least the coaster that broke. it’s really pathetic lmfao
Well done as always, Sam! Such a weird aesthetic they chose to build around a castle! I would love to see a whole castle-y medieval themed park around castle ruins!!! Maybe I need to be the one to open it. A lodge also woulda been awesome, shame that didn’t come to fruition. 🤔 I can totally envision a way for this to be awesome! Sad to see it sitting there in ruins, those drone shots are awesome.
I remember going there early 2000's and spending the day between the chair ride, bumper cars and loop coaster because there was nothing else interesting to ride.
I’m from the netherlands and it’s so funny to see that alot of the attractions from this park have been an inspiration to alot of rides in Slagharen in the Netherlands. The rollercoaster with the looping used to be the exact same as the one in Slagharen, just as the Apollo 14 and the inverted ship!
Henk Bembom owned Slagharen park until 2012, and the ‘both stood side by side at a park in the Netherlands’ comment in this video refers to the Apollo 14 rides at Slagharen. Bembom used to purchase more than one example of specific rides, to operate at his parks and hire out (Parkware) to others.
I never even realised this place closed down and I live in Scotland! I guess that explains why I stopped seeing ads for it. Do you think you will ever cover M&D's theme park? I'm amazed it hasn't shut entirely by now.
The only reason why people outside of Scotland knew about Loudoun Castle is because of an "accident" that happened on The Rat, where a ride op didn't know what he was doing and got killed from getting the train unstuck. Which is an absolute shame since the castle itself is filled with so much history and it would be a hit with ghost hunters!
My high school was right next to it, we’d go over to the Park after school every Friday and have a laugh, this theme park was my first and I have so many fond memories of it even tho I was too small to go on anything but the wild mouse, it’s still fun to explore abandoned but sad to see it closed down.
I would love to see you cover the Flintstones theme park that used to be in Arizona! Nobody seems to remember it was a thing. And what a perfect subject for an Expedition Extinct
The last company who wanted to restore the old castle! From my understanding is they was refused as there plans was to use modern construction on it. But with UK law's on listed buildings they must be restored using almost 100% old building materials including morta windows stone and so on. If it is restored it has to be like it was the day it was originally built.
I really wonder why deaths at theme parks get so much bigger reactions then death from other things like falling when install solar panels on roofs, car crashes, kids drownings in pools, etc.
It's funny, this is just fifteen miles from where I live and we went a couple of times in the early years. It really wasn't very good back then and we felt no need to go back even though the kids were at a better age to enjoy it. A couple of years ago we drove past the entrance which was of course boarded up with no signage or anything to suggest it was once a theme park. We had no idea what had happened to it in the intervening twenty years or so. Thanks for letting us know!
I spent some time filming a TV show there, must be a good ten or so years ago. It's a shame it's fallen into that state. I also grew up fairly close to Dreamland in Margate, and had no idea the two were so intrinsically linked.
Lol Flint actually DID try to build an amusement park based on the car, and revitalize their fair city😂 It was called auto-world and it's a fascinating story!
A lot of memories at this place as it's a bit local to myself. Was okay at a very young age but eventually it was easy to be unimpressed by it. All about M&D's when I got a bit little older going into my teens. Good to see a video about it though; other than the odd amateur drone footage I could never of had imagined a video like this. Thanks for the content. :)
Great video. In the Netherlands there was 'Het land van Ooit', it was a themepark but it mainly worked around theatre and people interactions. To bad it's extinct as well after they tried to open a park in Belgium that was very quickly closed down.
A lot of the rides have since been sold, I was there only a month ago and was a stark contrast to some of the abandoned videos on YT, there’s very little there now and the big green planet has been taken away
I actually grew up in this area and went to the school next door to Loudoun castle park. The school got permission from the owners to get access into the park so we could cycle in there during PE lessons cause it had a good route and we cycled in the forest parts to get us used to the terrain. The sight is still standing for the most part, some of the rides have been sold for parts but Apollo 14 and some other rides are still there. The castle is really cool and over grown looking too but never got close enough cause the teacher was always watching us
I remember going here on school trips in 1998 & then during summer holidays for a few years after. It was always pretty empty - or felt it anyway - I had vivid memories of running off the coaster, into the queue and straight onto the car that we just got out of or being on the pirate ship and worrying that clanging noises of the unused seatbelts on the empty seats meant it was falling apart!
I visited Loudon Castle a few times in my youth. My favourite rides were Wacky Worm, the carousel and a twister ride at McDougal's Farm. I was sad after hearing that it had closed. One time I went, I bought a toy Rory, which I still have.💜🦁
Aww...I remember riding Apollo 14, in it’s original capsule form, when it was at Margate. It wasn’t exactly an exciting ride, but was different and certainly memorable. So, it’s sad to see it abandoned like that. Four Man Bob, also, which I remember from Alton Towers. Was the inverting ship originally Margate’s ‘Mary Rose’? That was another iconic ride, back in the day.
I read about this place when reading about Spreepark, but never bothered to look it up further as I thought it was still active. Apollo, I remember that ride as a kid! I remember being amazed with how it was so big and cool looking. Had to look it up, its in Slagharen apparently, only just over 50 miles away from here. 😮
Nice to know were the other Apollo has gone to. I have visit Slagharen a few times and know there were 2 Apollo's a long time ago. Ponypark Slagharen is one of the oldest amusementparks in the Netherlands. In the past famous of there horses and pony's. Now days there aren't any horses left at the park. They also had a looping star achtbaan. This ride has just closed a few years ago.
While I'm not sure how much interest there would be, I'd love a video that goes into more detail about the Codonas, and the history behind Codonas in Aberdeen.
For some reason I really like this video maybe it’s because it’s unlike any of the other closed type parks I’ve seen you do before having that beautiful Oldcastle there! I hope eventually somebody finds a use for it because the grounds were gorgeous but it’s so sad seeing all those all rides rusting away!😔 too bad the lion didn’t make a go of it for some reason I especially like the swing ride probably because it was unique it would’ve been great to see an operation one it was actually called Apollo 14! You keep making the videos will keep watching them! Thanks
What about fantaseas dartford uk. It was an excellent short lived water park that deserves a video as there is so little information in one place about it. Excellent video I remember most of the rides back at dreamland margate
For the central belt of Scotland we had louden castle and mnds theme park the latter being shit basically out of the 2 I would always go to louden castle just a better park all round tbh They didn't really recover well and unlike mnds didn't have local amusements or bowling etc as a back up Personally the plans going foward should have been accepted but was rejected to local council politics with neighbouring Ayrshire resort Butlins now rebranded as haven caravan park Personally had it went the way the original Butlins used to be i.e lodge caravan site with a theme park etc inside this would have easily have been successful again its just who you know in the council and blocking or accepting planning deals
Probably nobody knew this park but I'd love to see Play Center on an expedition extinct, or even the history of Hopi Hari, they are both parks in São Paulo, Brazil, and were pretty popular here.
Expedition Theme Park Sam, can you do a history of Alton Towers Barney and Tweenies theatre? Also, you can do the history on Universal Studios Japan Cool Summer Of DBZ, Sailor Moon And Final Fantasy XR?
There was another Pokémon theme park in Taiwan besides Japan, both were called Poképark. The one in Japan operated in 2005 while the one in Taiwan operated in 2006.
I live only 5 miles away From the park iv also been on a cycle up there and there’s still a few good things there including the tea barn and the globe thing
Louden castle will hopefully reopen again soon in the future at some points never say never Louden castle was an brilliant theme park in Scotland with excellent thrill rides and epic coasters my favourite rollercoaster there was the twist n shout
the chair swing globe thing's gone now. me and my friend went a wander into it (before we were chased out) and all that's left of the theme park are a few shops

@@shayZero How likely am I to get murdered in an abandoned castle?
@@rachellynnclark4099 very unlikely! Either falling from height because they are crumbling or arrested for trespassing. Thems the only stakes
Why do Americans like castles so much? Is it cause you guys don't really have any? I'm just curious

The grass is so green! This is probably the prettiest abandoned theme park I've ever seen.
I remember going there as a kid, I went every year with my school till Primary 6 when it closed. Had some good times there
It's so weird how many historic sites became mediocre theme parks in GB.
There’s really only Alton and Louden and I don’t think you can call Alton mediocre
DaddyMcMuffins yeah Alton is definitely not mediocre, in my personal opinion it’s one of the best theme parks in the world mainly due to its marketing scheme with the rides and the stories behind them
There was also Camelot, I miss that place so much
Liam Dyson Camelot wasn’t a real place
@@oliverrathbone1267 The Camelot theme park was built on the land of a Benedictine monastery
Great video as always!! Always sad to see old rides just sitting abandoned though.

Omg this makes me so nostalgic!!! I used to go there all the time and I was there on the day it closed
One summer holiday my family took me here 11 times in the space of 6 weeks! My home from home
I live 2 mins from this place, it was a major part of my childhood and i miss it so much, the mousetrap ride was my favourite

I seem to recall a bird of prey show down by the castle, and a barrel ride (that also previously operated at Dreamland Margate).

Too bad that swing ride couldn’t be saved. It seemed outlandish, but impressive and cool looking.
I live literally five miles away from Kilmarnock, and I genuinely had no clue there was a theme park right next to me! Thanks for making this video!
I grew up going to this theme park- it’s crazy seeing it how it is now.

Louden castle will hopefully reopen again soon in the future at some points never say never Louden castle was an brilliant theme park in Scotland with excellent thrill rides and epic coasters my favourite rollercoaster there was the twist n shout
the chair swing globe thing's gone now. me and my friend went a wander into it (before we were chased out) and all that's left of the theme park are a few shops
Loudoun Castle is my entire childhood
I'll help, we need a real theme park
I loved going there. My favourite ride was drop zone. (2000)
Can you do history on Alton Towers Haunted House/Duel?
My family actually used to own and run this theme park
Can you make a video of the history of Walibi Holland?? Thanks

It would be cool if he made a video about my personal favorite park in the country
I used to go every week when I was 3 or 4 and I remember one of the divers called victor
Black Pearl was always Wallace Sword to me, many school trips spent here
