THIS year marks the 30th anniversary of the opening of Gulliver's World.
The Old Hall theme park first opened in 1989 and celebrations to mark the anniversary are taking place.
We have gone back in the archives of photographer Dave Gillespie.
He has been back to the theme park this week to recreate some of the pictures he took then.
While the rides and attractions have been replaced and modernised, many of the themes have remained the same.
Managing director, Julie Dalton, has taken over the running of the site from her dad, Ray Philips, who established it in 1989.
Dinosaurs remain a popular attraction.
While the log flume remains one the most popular rides, as reporter Jessica Farrington found out.

Julie said: "We understand that quality family time is so hard nowadays.
"There’s so much pressure so that time away is really important.
"People are still looking for the same things they did 30 years ago, they want a really great time and the magic of going away has not changed or the look on a child’s face – it’s about creating that magic for a family."
