Reviews
I recently purchased South East
Tour 1993 on DVD. I like the fact that there is no commentary.
I thought the idea of watching the whole duration time of
some rides was absolutely brilliant. The section that I paid
special interest in was Dreamland in Margate. This was the whole
reason why I purchased this DVD. I am building a 1/76th scale OO-gauge
model railway layout and Dreamland will be part of my layout. I
chose to model the park mainly on the Bembom Brothers' era,
which I can remember in 1992 at the age of 4. So therefore me
having this DVD and Bembom Brothers at Margate is really good.
The only down side to the DVD is at the beginning, on the main
menu, is that there is no scene selection icon. Apart from this, the
whole DVD was fantastic. I personally give 9 out of 10 maybe 10
out of 10.
