OK, so this isn't really worthy of it's own topic, but I didn't know where else to put it. Plus, I've not got the cred, yet have driven past it twice in the last month, so its news to me.
It looks as though the Runaway Train roller coaster at Fort Fun in Eastbourne is up for sale. I also had a look and couldn't see any pictures of it on the park's website (although I don't know if there were ever any on there) I last drove past on Sat 27th October, and it was definitely still there and still in one piece. I don't know if it was operating, but they were apparently open through the half term, so I don't know.
It's a funny one, because no one seems to be too sure what make/model is is, as described on RCDB: http://rcdb.com/1046.htm
Anyway, yes, the for sale link...

Click on "Roller Coasters" in the left hand menu
Scroll down and it's 3rd from bottom, listed as "Train Roller Coaster - UK Mini Fab (Ref: RC 412)"
This is odd as the park hasn't long built that massive outdoor water play area thing. I don't know if they're in financial trouble, so are flogging stuff off in a desperate attempt to balance the books? I wonder if they're going to get rid of the rides and concentrate on the play area side of business (they also have an indoor play barn thing).
