Lost Frontierland theme park was short train ride from Liverpool

1980s and '90s kids from Merseyside, and all over the north west of England, will remember the excitement of a trip to Frontierland.

The now derelict theme park in Morecambe, Lancashire, sadly closed in 2000. But many on Merseyside will have taken a trip on one of its white-knuckle rides such as the Texas Tornado, Stampede and the Haunted Silver Mine.

It wasn't until 1987 that the amusement park was given a wild west theme and renamed Frontierland. The park's history goes back much further first opening in 1906 as the West End Amusement Park, before later being renamed Fun City, then Morecambe Pleasure Park, before finally being called Frontierland.
