I sadly only visited once on an overcast Summer's day in Jul/Aug 1987. By the way, I couldn't believe your article omitted the main wooden roller coaster, the Texas Tornado (formerly Cyclone). I never forget taking a quick look at it as we drove past the park perimeter, getting the impression it wasn't much of a ride so didn't bother to ride it. Having seen videos of it on YouTube since how I regretted that fateful error. People have told me it was quite a ride and not to be fooled by its apparent height. They tried to sell it on but unhurt unfortunately without success. Another lost classic woodie. Really wished I'd taken a closer look around that day now, but then one never thinks things like this would ever actually disappear. Thankfully, I visited the Thompsons' former Southport Pleasureland several times before its very sudden demise in I believe September 2007. (I helped to try to save its classic Cyclone woodie, sadly to no avail).

Morecombe used to be a family favourite day out in summer, daytime spent in bubbles outdoor pool followed by fish and chips for tea and always rounded off with an evening pass at frontier land. Brilliant times.
