Posted August 17, 201114 yr comment_121611 Came across this cheesy Eurovision video from 1985 on youtube - but its great as its set at thorpe park - and has some great shots of the attractions that where there at the time - Including Magic Mill, Treasure Island and the Roman Galley

The only real remnants are the building in the background at the beginning which now houses KFC and the arcade, and the white boat she's walking on which is now Saw Alive!Yes it is such a great video. :DThe old Saxon hut that you can see in the background when she is stood on the wooden bridge is also still at the park, it is situated the other side of the current THE SWARM construction site. I love watching this video for the footage of the Treasure Island Railway trains and ship, plus the Magic Mill boat. Definitely a better video with the audio turned down though!
