Busty blonde usherettes dished out lollipops while party goers scoffed popcorn, candy floss and fish and chips at the unveiling of Dreamland's new design last night.

Top pop tunes past and present boomed out at the Old Town bar after the 400-strong crowd were asked to choose music that reminded them of Dreamland.

On display on the walls were colourful drawings by theme park designer Jean-Marc Toussaint who is working with the Dreamland Trust to help design the layout of the park.

Flying in especially from his home in Paris the designer, clutching the remnants of fish and chips said: "The first time I came to Dreamland was in 2001 and I just went wow, what a great place. I’d been researching all these great theme parks around the world and when I was told about the idea of a theme park with a museum I just though this is a great idea."

Did you go? What did you think of the plans?
