Everyone talks about Sparks, Tussauds, John Wardley and Farmer, but Golding and Space Leisure is sadly rarely brought up. They made and help make so many iconic attractions. From Geisterschloss at Europa, Pirate Adventure (still miss it), El Paso, Around the world in 80 days, The Haunting, and The Jungle Palladium/Golden Nuggets. If you love Golding/Space Leisure stuff, I highly recommend visiting Watermouth Castle in Devon. They have quite a few stuff from Sparks, including Golding animatronics from the Jungle Palladiums sister show, the Africa Tiki show. They still work too and are based in their water ride.
As a whole, Golding/Space Leisure were (personally) the quintessential 'british' ride designers. Everything they made just screamed that british quirk and charm that's becoming ever so rarer to come across nowadays in UK Theme Parks.
