I wonder how long that will be around until some hydraulics fail on that first 'ride'...

Ah, diggerland! Ive been to the one near Exter several times, only to work on the machines though! Its not a bad little place, i reckon that to do everything would take about half a day. Worth the visit none the less, especially if your taking any children, they go crazy when realise they can drive the machines! Hope that helps.

Yeah diggerland is great for young kids to have a play on a digger in a controlled environment. Its all owned and set up by a hire company H E Services, and their main park is here in kent......spent many hours there when i worked for the local JCB dealer! The guy that set it up, Hugh Edeleanu (i think thats how its spelt!) is a real Digger fanatic, everything he puts his money into is a success. He even holds the record for John o groats to Landsend in a JCB! I also remember him setting up diggerland in Dubai, and i know there was talk, but dont know if it happened but one over in america, that he set up, and then sold to someone over the pond!

Wow amazing stuff there. Wonder why nothing like that in Australia?
As Mammoet says "SIZE DOES MATTER". Slowly collecting Mammoet 1:50 scale stuff. Mainly cranes!
