Dreamland has postponed the sale of all the items it previously listed for auction including a log flume.

Bosses had hoped the sale would raise more than £500,000.

Bidding had been due to close on Friday.

Dreamland spokesman Penny Shorricks said: "We were delighted by the amount of press attention that the auction received and due to this unexpected interest we have decided to delay the sale until later in the season.

"We believe we will be able to make even more money for Dreamland by creating an auction platform on our own website."

The flume was originally bought from Sofia Land in Bulgaria in 2014 for £145,000.

It's footprint was said to be 79.24m x 29.84m at its widest and longest points, which is probably too big for the garden if you're thinking of waiting for the ride to come back on sale.

It features two drops, a smaller one at 6.10m and a larger 9.60m drop and was manufactured in 2001.

You could have also purchased the log flume carts to complete your set too.

For those who wanted to start their own business, there was a pizza van with a starting price of £3,000 and an ice cream van for £1,000.

Other items on the list put together by James Auctioneers, a company owned by Dreamland chief executive Eddie Kemsley's husband, and featured on the BidSpotter website included a London red bus children's ride and a large light up eye.

For Disney film fans eight jumbo Dumbo's had been listed on the site starting at £500.

If you ever wanted to own your own children's carousel you could have with the auction price starting at £150.

It is believed that none of the items listed for auction were bought using public money and most were bought by Dreamland operators Sands Heritage Limited but have proved to not be of use on the site.

At the time Dreamland said that some of the non-functioning items were donated by Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Blackpool Council.

The company had written to both organisations to inform them of their intention to sell items to raise money for community projects that work alongside the Dreamland Trust.

They also say the lots are not original items from Dreamland’s past.

In December the Margate-based company revealed it had built up debts of £2.9 million as Dreamland struggled to attract visitors in a summer blighted by transport problems caused by Operation Stack.

It later agreed a five-year repayment plan with its creditors, with its first contribution not due for 18 months.
