"The atmosphere there was amazing"

Twiggy

Available for over a year

It's fifteen years since the American Adventure theme park near Ilkeston closed. But now there are plans to bring the tourist attraction back to life through a YouTube documentary series. Popular rides included the Runaway Train, Skycoaster and the park's signature rollercoaster, The Missile. Despite its initial popularity, the park closed in 2007 amid financial problems and falling attendance. Documentary maker Zach Moore is the Creative Director of OnTrack Productions, he spent the morning reminiscing with Twiggy.
