IF it is...and some can get it... let me know! I`ll offer shipping

Have you tried to drop the photographer an email?

 

[simon_m74]

I will be when I get home

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I think it's in Aviemore about 30 miles from my current location

 

[simon_m74]

Yes that's where I read too... I have just emailed the guy.

would be nice to know if its still there!

The comment on the picture is 5 1/2 years old unfortunately.
Santa Land was replaced by the macdonald hotel but I don't know how much of it is left.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

There's a review from 2013 about the place on 28 days later. It doesn't show the wee.... scratch that.
On close inspection it does

 

[IDCHAPPY]

So we know it was still sitting there about 11 months ago. I wonder where I'll be visiting on my way back home

 

[simon_m74]

It would be great if you ( or the guy who took the pic) could find out if its still there...!

Go on Ian, take a drive

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I'm guessing it is still there, I don't think they have done much in that area recently.
I guess it depends whats left of it ?

I could really do with another shell for a VR as I am very nearly finished making my second VR system!

I am visiting the company who made the shells next friday

but I would love to restore that one in the pic.. !

I've read a lot about these but never seen one in the flesh,saying that its says they were released in the 90's,I were well out of the arcade scene by then and too busy hunting fanny and drinking lager
