Many thanks Theme Park Fanatic! I know they were removed to make way for Storm Surge, but I'm not sure what they did with them afterwards. I wouldn't assume another park bought them, maybe they were put into storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm pretty sure some of the cars from a ride in Octopus Gardens were placed in the outdoor section of The Big Top. This was only in its first year, 2015, when the maze took place on the beach. They're probably in storage like the above person has written (that warehouse full of old Thorpe junk that schools go might have some). The Octopus Garden rides probably weren't worth anything at all; maybe some are still trundling about in travelling funfairs. Who knows?

Many thanks Theme Park Fanatic! I would suggest you would look at some of TPM's website information. A lot of your questions will have answers there Whatever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Swinging Seashells (the ferris wheel) was moved to Weymouth Sealife. Doubt it's there anymore though as they closed their rides section this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Miss Hippo and a single car from Slippery Serpent were present inside The Big Top last year, I believe in the jack in the box scene Whatever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
