In Popular Culture
Dreamland was the subject of a 1953 documentary film, O Dreamland. It was also visited by characters in the 1989 Christmas special of BBC Television sitcom, Only Fools and Horses. Some of the rides seen in the sitcom were renamed and repainted at Loudoun Castle Theme Park in Scotland (Now closed). The Mary Rose was renamed to the Black Pearl and is now at Lightwater Valley. It was also the filming location for the 2007 film Exodus. This park featured prominently in the 2000 film Last Resort, about a young Russian immigrant seeking asylum in England.
The Romford based band "Five Star" shot the majority of the video for their 1984 single "Crazy" at Dreamland

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.”
—Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)
“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
