Remembering much-loved American Adventure theme park 20 years after it closed

It was 20 years ago this week that the much-loved American Adventure theme park in Derbyshire closed its doors for the very last time.

Rides such as the Buffalo Stampede, Runaway Train, Rocky Mountain Rapids and The Missile were all popular features at the attraction, near Ilkeston.

Here we look back at some great photos which capture the magic of the place.
