Posted August 22, 201114 yr comment_121918 Does anyone know where the rides from octopus gardens went? I know Swinging Seashells is at Weymouth Sealife Centre, I saw it there and it has got the same name.
August 22, 201114 yr comment_121920 I didnt think they went anywhere? Can someone shed some light on this??
August 22, 201114 yr comment_121939 Swinging Seashells is at Weymouth Sea Life as far as I know... I'm down there again next week so will find out for certain then if any of the other OG rides are there, although I think some of them were sold to other small parks around the country, if not were some scrapped?
August 22, 201114 yr Author comment_121946 Some of them were probably scrapped because of the age of them and could be a bit rusty.
August 25, 201114 yr comment_122185 I was recently down at Sealife Centre Weymouth and they do indeed have Swinging Seashells installed in their Adventure Island childrens ride area. Their Ride Engineer has confirmed to me that the rest of the Octopus Garden rides are currently "in storage somewhere awaiting a new home". Here are a couple of photos of the ride at it's new home:

August 25, 201114 yr comment_122189 Aww, it makes me all happy when I see the ride has a new home, shame the home has that logo :DDoes the ride have the same name as when it was at Thorpe?
