Default Death of a Folkestone roller coaster

I arrived in Folkestone just as this old wooden roller coaster was being demolished - probably to make way for some new leisure centre. How many people must have ridden on it and enjoyed life just a little bit more than before?

M8, 35mm Summicron

Poignant stuff.

As someone who has ridden The Mighty Mouse at Southsea, and watched the nuts and bolts fall off as we went round, I think that some of these things have had their day.

Exciting, though...
