Belle Vue Zoological Gardens: Manchester

[CJH]

The Manchester Evening News have posted today with some unseen photos of the park, and the rides.
This area is such a dump now and could use all the empty space for a new park, wishful thinking.

Great photos. A lot of the pictures I've seen are black and white. To see it all in colour really brings it to life.

Those photos are great, I like this pic of their woodie.

That looked really fun. Shame the park had to close down

I can't see why the land is unused at the moment, it's a great space and Manchester could do with a little park. There is just a cinema and the dog racing track there now, and bingo but it is a dive and an area that needs some form of investment.

They should build a park on Pomona Island, kind of like a mix between Cedar Point and Grona Luna. It could be spectacular.

More to the point, it would mean Pomona Metrolink station actually had a reason to be there.

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one who dreams of an inner city amusement park on Pomona Island then...
