The Hills built the park and upcycled signage from a nearby closed amusement arcade known as Funland.

The Drop Tower formerly sourced at the Trocadero was finally added to the park after two years of troubled planning permissions.

Rides that were added were the Super Dragon coaster, the Whirlycopters, the Frog Hopper, Cadbury's Junior Pirate Ship and the Samba Balloons.

A traveling orbiter ride named Speed Flip was added to the park for the 2011 season alongside 2012 to replace it.

In June, the park added a new Snake Helter-Skelter ride replacing the old one, and the Super Dragon returned after a refurbishment with a new dinosaur theme and name; Funlandosarus.

The coaster operated as is for many years (although the tarpaulin's "DRAYTON MANOR" text was altered slightly to read "DRAGON MANOR"), until receiving a support repaint a few years into operation at Funland, making the supports purple while receiving an unofficial secondary name of "Junior Dragon Coaster".

The ride previously operated at another park, and was removed from Funland in 2020, being relocated to Fantasy Island for the 2020 season and renamed "Firebowl".

After 2016, it stood SBNO until it was dismantled at the start of the 2018 season and relocated to Luna Park Sunny Beach in Bulgaria following costly repair issues.

On 17 September 2015, a 47-year-old Romanian workman fell 23 metres from the Kondlike Gold Mine ride, as he was taking the coaster down for its sell-out to Euroshow, breaking his arm and leg in the process.
