It breaks my heart to see this. I spent a lot of my childhood at Rhyl in the 70's and 80's.
Me too from the year I was born every year through the 90s ohh shame lots of memories!
The sun setting really makes this even sadder. A happy part of my childhood gone forever. 😭😭.
Used to go there all the time as a kid, thought I'd have a look for a nostalgia trip, heart breaking to see what became of it..
Shame on you Denbighshire county council
heartbreaking to see.. 😢. so many wonderful memories
Absolutely Heartbreaking. My Childhood Holidays in Towyn, were the Happiest times in my life. Spent Many, many joyful hours on the Fairground. This brought back so many Happy Memories, and Tears to my eyes.
Tragic. Loved going there in the 90s/00s as a kid
Such a shame. I have so many happy memories of this place.
I went on that rollercoaster when i was a kid. Very sad that it's long gone now.
How sad, so many happy memories!!!
back in the 70's early 80's Rhyl was very popular. Had some great times as a kid.
Very sad and criminal that it has got into the state it is today. has to be down to bad planning.
i will remember this place untill the day i die what a great place that fair was
Used to live in Rhyl had a guest house on west parade around 1987 rhyl is and was very run down as was the fun fair it needed renovating or pulling down and rebuilding. Bloody council used to charge enough rates think they could have done something nice with the fair after demolition what a disgrace. The whole town needs seing to to boost tourist we left because there was n o investment the place does not bring back any fond memories for us.
Not just an amusement park,but a lot of people's memories being dismantled too.
Very interesting, thank you for uploading.
My girlfriend and I loved all the amusements especially the funhouse and trampolines where you were in your stockingfeet.
i went to this in 2006
i loved it... it's sad to see it like this :'(
I used to work on Rhyl go cart track loved it got a proper tan in the summer and loads of birds 😂
very sad i had some of the happiest times of my life on holiday here from 1977-1983, ive heard over the years its had a lot of drug and crime in the town, but it used to be awesome as an 8 year old kid!
I've never been to Rhyl but I can definately see how sad a time this was. I'm so sorry to hear how upset some of you are.
Horrible going to Rhyl for the first time in years today and seeing a huge empy spot
But my parents still have their caravan up there in Prestatyn, just down the road.
This is sad. Why did the park close?
why did they get rid of the fair as it was one of the main attractions all seaside areas needs the fair they should build a new modern one to bring back all its tourists it once had
if i can think back then the fun fair was ,nt making money so they can into debt.they sold the land off.think there a b n m there now.
Rhyl still has a fair but it’s a pretty small one now
WHY? WHY?
That fun fair moment made Rhyl and all ages
Ahh man this video really is a sucker punch so man great memories and so sad to see it gone
why did it close?
Rhyl not the same without the fun fair they should of spent the money kept it open
@liccymjlover . it was a good palce to be i used to go there all of the time i loved the warter chute lol
@BertHigginbottom very true
They demolished it in 2007, put people out of work.............. Its now 2014 and its still a empty boarded up site, the signs have been taken down and replaced with for sale signs and enquiry signs 😕 they should at least clear the site and use it for something? Car park? Market? Or seasonal fair? Total eye sore
(Cynically) - don't worry I am sure there are major plans in the pipeline to flog the land off to private developers to build million pound apartments for foreign millionaires who only intend to pop into the country now and again for the odd weekend of shopping. Like in so many other places all over the country,
just like Morecombe pleasure beach !
It is now a shopping area, they are building an Aldi on the other side too
It is called the cel marina
I can't believe that the fun fair has been taken down. I can remember using the little rides in the fair when I was little. We would also go to Ryl to eat the dougnuts, they were lovely dougnuts. We use to have them next to the entrance of the fun fair.
What's going to happen to the land?
Idk if your still active but if you are your answer for your question is that the land has turned into a retail park or something like that
Very sad seeing this,it’s a shame it couldn’t be maintained.
because no one went... i went a few months before it closed and had a great time.... such a shame :( now you have to travel a mile down the road to the other fun fair :(
As it became apparent that trade was in decline property owners changed over to permanent bed sits attracting the overflow from the inner cities, Clwyd and Alan didn't help either by advertising accommodation in Strangeways and Walton, the rest is history.
shame. great times there
I have great memories of Rhyl as a child. I used to love the fun fair and the arcade but lets all be honest it was not going to last forever. With more people/familes choosing to cut back on holidays (even the cheap caravan holidays) seaside towns are bound to lose out. I think whats happened at Rhyl is just a reflection of the economic downturn in general.
Rhyl not the same now without the fair gone down hill very bad
To me Rhyl is still good because I wasn’t around when ocean beach existed so I’m used to the new Rhyl and I really love it but we have different opinions sad to see your childhood go.
Sad... :o(
@liccymjlover same hear this was agood theme park the last time i went there is was 2 i wnt to rhil last week and what a dump it is know
fun times here before it closed .it kill rhyl off i would say
