As an organ enthusiast I was very disappointed and I know others were too, possibly the fact that organs now get virtually no mention on their web site should have warned us what to expect. There were just 7 organs and 5 of those come as part of the package for the stage shows and Steam Yachts.

And as for the much advertised vintage fairground, well where was it?, the following big attractions were missing despite very clear claims on their web site:
The Ken Fox Wall of Death
Howard Brothers Golden Galloping Horses
Bensons Vintage Speedway
Edward Howards Big Wheel

Driffield, Masham, Duncombe Park, Hunton, Ackworth, Little Weighton, Newby Hall (No steam, but a big show for tractors, engines, commercials etc) Wouldn't say that there is a shortage of shows in the north east.

Rob,

Ken has two Wall of Death rides, one covering the South and the other covering the North.

Depends what you term the North East ;)

A 15 ton roller without lowloader based in Shildon can't get to many of those easily, Hunton and Masham at the most. Nothing north of Yorkshire other than Corbridge or the excellent Beamish events
