<p>Whether you&#8217;re chasing adrenaline or making magical memories with little ones, Dreamland has a ride for everyone. Dare to take on the Wild River log flume with its thrilling 50ft drop, enjoy sweeping views from the Big Wheel, or embrace classic seaside nostalgia on the Waltzers, Dodgems, Ghost Train and Rock &#8216;N&#8217; Roller coaster. Younger visitors aren&#8217;t forgotten either. New for 2026, Little River lets budding adventurers hop into their own canoe for a gentle ride through the park, making Dreamland even more family-friendly. Beyond the rides, you&#8217;ll also find the retro Roller Disco, a packed arcade full of amusements and VR games, plus plenty of delicious street food from KERB in collaboration with Levy UK &amp; Ireland.</p>
