Margate Roller Coaster

The Margate rollercoaster restoration was designed by Wayne Hemmingway.

PES

GCNC Ltd & PES Scanning use 3D optical scanning & CNC wood machining to accurately recreate the dragon heads on the historic Dreamland rollercoaster pictured above.

Dreamland Margate, Britain’s oldest amusement park, reopened in June 2015 after being closed for 10 years. An £18m refurbishment has taken place with some of the original rides being restored. The star attraction Grade II-listed scenic railway, which was damaged in arson attacks in 2008, has been returned to its former glory.

Testimonials

Just received the logo’s and goodness me, they are sensational! I have just shown them to some of the team at the London office and people are speechless. Seeing an image transformed with such detail is something else. This particular result looks far superior to anything I have seen 3D printed at this scale.

It was a pleasure to meet you , the insight you gave me was excellent and was a real education. I now have a far better understand of just what CNC is capable of doing and it’s very exciting. Engineering as an art and science, marvelous.Thank you also for making the time and for your hospitality.

I’ve just been to the opening of the swash exhibit at the museum and saw the rudderhead, it looks awesome.
