Should Drayton Manor Sell Old/Authentic Ride Parts & Theming?

It is a good bbq, but I'm quite excited about my Gondola, it's going to be used for garden seating once I've made a space for it, they're quite low (when not suspended from a cable) so need to build a little deck/platform for it.I am more excited by your outback BBQ. Terrific bit of kit
Yes, I looked at it and thought it would be good for a garden set up. Pleased it went to a good home- can't wait to see pics of it installed.

Nevermind, just saw your follow up reply. It didn’t show up as I was on a different page haha. Sounds like a good idea! Make sure you upload some photos once you’ve done it, would love to see
Will do. Need to do some prep work first so might have to sit in the garage for a little while, but plan to make a garden seat, want to make a little pulldown table that matches the current paintwork. Really pleased with it though.Nevermind, just saw your follow up reply. It didn’t show up as I was on a different page haha. Sounds like a good idea!

They provide you with a certificate of authenticity too which I thought was a nice touch. You just have to arrange your own transport, which wasn't too bad as I don't live too far from the park.
I always used to go on the ride as a kid and have been on it with my own family since so thought it was a nice slightly quirky souvenir.

Oh nice one. How did you get it home?
I used a company called AnyVan. I you give them the dimensions and weight (surprisingly heavy at 150kg), pick up and drop off and they give you a price. I booked it Friday for today. In total from speaking to the park to delivery took just a little over 2 weeks. The park were great in dealing with us and really helpful throughout the process.
Did you pay £1200 for it? I had hoped to get 1 for roughly £500 max
Yes I paid £1200. I was a bit torn tbh. I thought about waiting a bit longer to get one to see if they dropped the price again, but I was also thinking they may just scrap them if they don’t sell and I’d miss my chance to get one. We were the first people to buy one so I do think there has been too much interest so far.
Would be great to see what you do with it : )
Great stuff buying the a chairlift car! All u need now is the cable
