The line runs in a circle around a boating lake near the promenade, to the west of the town centre.

Rhyl Amusements was by then a subsidiary of Trust House Forte Leisure Ltd, whereas the Marine Lake itself belongs to the Borough Council.

Trust House would not invest further in the Marine Lake site without a very long lease being granted, which the Council refused.

As a result, Trust House decided to concentrate all its resources at Ocean Beach, and handed back the Marine Lake to the Council in 1970, completely bare.
