0 Kevin Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think they were all meant to go to SL Weymouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Luke_A Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 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?

0 jom222 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Some of them were probably scrapped because of the age of them and could be a bit rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Phill Pritchard Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 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: Sidders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
