Which are being being replaced, I am basing this off to how Legoland was in the early years.

Casino, central and above the old Coasters bar.
The track shifted around the casino over time

Sounded like a useful attraction for getting around the park and probably shouod of been kept

It should. The trip through the funhouse was great as well.
Good mop up of a c ticket, and also another attraction (like the Space Invader) that was great on a rainy day.

Not many parks actively shut, close and remove rides in their early years... The choice of comparison does seem odd, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

I don't greatly miss any of the rides PB has closed down.

I think the last one they did that i have mostly fond memories of was Space Invader 2. I know the Mouse holds a special place in many hearts but I was never a great fan of it. It was a one and done attraction for me and on some visits I'd skip it entirely.

Wash your mouth out.

Further entertainment gained from the mouse by watching small children come off crying from the bar with Bernard.

Oh the simple pleasures of life.

I know. Its sacrilege in this community to have not enjoyed the Mouse but it was never my sort of ride really. Didn't hate it or anything that extreme but it wasnt my favourite at all.

In fact I dont care for many of the coasters still operating. Sometimes I wonder to myself why I held this park in such high regard for so long as a child.

3. One opposite wallace. 1 at the park entrance (around where the outside toilets are located) , and one on the sea front . The sea front one was only accessable from outside the park. I think.

The platform and staircase for the promenade station survived long after the ride itself, even considering it hadn't been used operationally for a long time prior. You can see from Google Maps:


Hopefully that link should take you to the correct spot, but if it doesn't, it's slightly to the north of where Boulevard stands these days.

The switch track and maintenance building still stand to this day, and can be observed just before the first drop on Grand National if you look to the left.
