[2] It is rumoured that just prior to the closure of the park, the owners wanted to build a roller coaster at the rear of the site, but were refused permission by the local council.
Tucktonia was the brainchild of former double British Formula 3 champion Harry Stiller who was still living in the area in 2006, before his death in 2018.
[6] There are numerous unsubstantiated rumours that the models were not destroyed after the closure of the park – the main one being that they were instead placed into storage within a barn where they remained until 2001, when the building burnt down.
After the park closed in 1986, the buildings and fixtures were cleared and the land used at first for a public house called "The Old Colonial", then, at a later date, "Bar Max".
Bar Max eventually closed and the buildings demolished in 2003 to make way for a number of retirement flats and private dwellings.
