Notes:	On 9/5/2006 Pleasureland Southport abruptly ended when owners Pleasure Beach, Blackpool closed the park without prior notice. The site was leased by the "Dreamstorm" company to be used as a fairgrounds sort of venue. The original lease was for 18 months starting in July of 2007 and ending after the summer of 2008. This was extended one or more times as the operation continues into the 2011 season. On this site now are a constantly changing collection of rides setup by traveling showmen from the area. It is beyond the scope of this website to detail the roller coasters as they change as frequently as every month.
