Frontierland 1990's

A look at a retired park during the 90's

[@emmawatson5065]

Absolutely loved this place! I visited every year from 1983-1992. Best childhood memories ever

[@peachesmcgee4795]

Loved seeing all these rides again - especially the Fun House!

[@dannypugh1621]

Brilliant memories. The cat and mouse was deadly!

[@billjensen5878]

I was there the day this was filmed, see lots of friends. The fun house slide was very addictive, once I did it the first time. Very smooth ride with no neck whiplash.

[@janetduncan4724]

I remember many of the rides, so much fun back then such a shame Morecambe lost it all 😪

[@jamiefehlder3423]

Haha that Kamikaze slide = good memories. Don't believe something like that could exist today... I must have been less than 8 years old but I remember going down on my front. Whole place felt like a death-trap but that was the magic of it.

[@ScottyBun]

I remember when I was about 8 I wouldn`t go down, I waited til 9 in 83. Briliant memories.

[@jasondonaldson7412]

Used to love visiting when I came to see my aunty and uncle

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

I remember thanks for posting this video 👍🏻😎🎥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MM4D]

I have a lot of happy memories of this place, more from the 1980s though.
I'm wondering if the Fun House got remodelled at some point?
Because I don't remember the Joy Wheel being near any windows, and I don't remember the other spinning wheel thing, with the high sides at all. I also remember the vertical slide being wider and without any of those wall behind it. But it's been a long time since then so my memories could be clouded somwhat.
Great video though, thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah, it was also remember it being called the Cyclone back then, and I never rode on it, something I regret now as I love rollercoasters.

[@Briangibson7825]

Yes the funhouse was remodeled in 87 after a fire gutted the original "fun city"

[@davek5749]

Omg,amazing memory's,even tho all the rides were death traps

[@markdoyle1408]

Great days operated texas tornado for 3 years had too walk that track every morning saftey check what a View. Late 80s. Anyone left. Cockney mark

[@tinniswood2577]

Loved visiting back in the 80's the feeling of instant fatality made it so much more exciting than todays mega theme parks!

[@clubadebisi]

I spent all my school holidays at regency caravan park between 87-93

[@jcrigg]

The Noah's Ark felt like a deathtrap even then as a kid.

[@DISORDERLYPUNK]

even early/mid 90's it felt like it was about to collapse at any second

[@olly30]

Knew someone who died on that.

[@SIRDAVIDGRAY]

Used to go there every year, Sad to see it go, Great vid, Thanks

[@alastairwest5200]

With its wooden frame, it's amazing that the cyclone lasted as long as it did...

[@incongra]

Imagine the fun you'd have with the Health and Safety Executive if you tried to run an amusement park like this nowadays. Everyone would have to wear harnesses and fluorescent jackets.

[@gaskellr44]

The fun house(also known as the slaughterhouse) opened summer 1980. I was the first person to get injured the first day it opened and broke my leg on the after named kamikaze slide, another 7 after me apparently broke their leg/s on it afterwards and there were other injuries including fractured skulls I heard. It got burnt down in 1983 I think? HAPPY DAYS.

[@simonsweeting]

OMG i remember everything!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING IT!

[@victoriaduncan3660]

such good times

[@josephclayton388]

good old days i miss it all

[@cathd6]

I was surprised Frontierland was so soon. We only moved to Morecambe in 1980 and it was pleasure land for a good few yrs before Frontierland - but tbf the layout and rides didn't really change

[@gerrykelly8820]

Morecambe is ok,,

[@dickterpene8697]

loved that ghost house

[@johnmiller9953]

I titted up a girl in there

[@fanofheadroom1]

love to see some blackpool fun house footage

[@talesfromthegant8461]

Completely forgot about the halfpipe-style slide, can remember now burning my arse on it!

[@DISORDERLYPUNK]

i ran and jumped over the edge to freak out my sister - wish i didnt now lol

[@beeftec5862]

Texas Drop! I loved the Social Mixer. Quality stuff this video. Was always gutted that my birthday was in October and the park was shut then, so was Johnny's Fun Factory for me

[@mistofoles]

Interesting. How did you film on and off the rollercoaster at the same time ? Did you use two cameras, or did you just film it separatley and edit it afterwards ?

[@Stonio]

Ha so dangerous looking at that so glad I made it out of there alive all the times I went in there! Haha

[@PranksterKidsFamilyFun]

Morrisons was built next to Frontierland years before it closed Scousefire, not on the Frontierland site. It's closure had nothing to do with Morrisons.

[@Hellwyck]

Morecambe's in Lancashire, The Lake District's in Cumbria.

[@stephenduncan3605]

Believe it or not the region known as The Lake District officially starts at Lancaster and ends in Carlisle!

[@laalratty]

@@stephenduncan3605 Nope, I live in Lancaster and the first boundary stone that marks the Lake District north of us is definitely in Cumbria. Lancashire did once extend into the Lake District but that was many years ago.

[@DISORDERLYPUNK]

just cause its morecambe doesnt mean they need rehab (well.... my ex from there did)

[@hyper2high]

I dont reckon the fun house was built in 88. We used to come all the time as we had year lasting fun passes . The fun house was there then. I never came when it changed to fronteer land

[@stephenduncan3605]

The original Fun House burnt down early that year and opened in a different part of the park!

[@mordokch]

Is that right that it became frontierland in 1986 ? I'm pretty sure it was earlier than that as I remember it being like that as a younger child which must have been maybe 1980 at the latest.

[@stephenduncan3605]

It became Frontierland in 1988 after a fire to the fun house. They also refurbished the Cyclone Rollercoaster with a redesigned entrance and renamed it The Texas Tornado!

[@barrychuckle5565]

@@stephenduncan3605 what was it before Frontierland?

[@DISORDERLYPUNK]

[@supertuff2]

My brother and i used to get papped out the fun house regularly for being too excitable shall we say.
