    Passionate video, fair play to you🥰🥰
    I need pop down there in the winter as well as the summer.
    I used to love the safari ride with hipos and pirates and that. That big log ride was my favourite though.
    We need a oakwood type park in south wales surely.

      Thanks so much, the winter when it's dry is such a Lush time to visit. 😃👌
      The Jungle Boat was fun the first couple of times 😂
      I think if we had more accommodation here, Henry would be more inclined to invest permanent fixed rides. Because the winter can get very quiet here & having the option to visit other locations with his rides during Christmas for example, really helps keep everything ticking over 😃👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    When ever we go it's so packed , we ended up going elsewhere. Queues were horrendous everywhere. So we had lunch outside Barry in the end. Nice to see it so popular which is good. Will get back again in the warmer weather. We always avoid bank holidays and school holidays as it's so packed. Even so, we still find it very busy. Years s so i use to walk along the coast from Bsrry to Barry island . Nice walk in good weather. Thanks for the reviews.

    • @TheDudgies

    That's amazing news. I went on those in West Midlands Safari Park. Hopefully, we will have a proper summer for it as year was awful. Hopefully, the dodgem track won't be long, so henry and the team can start on the wacky gold mine.

    In the 70s and early 80s my Parents would hire a coach every August bank holiday and pile all the kids from the council estate on it for free who's parents couldn't afford a holiday or even a day out for their kids! We would spend all day on the beach and then head for the fair in the evening! Those were the days😊

    • @TheDudgies
      @TheDudgies  2 дні тому +1

    I thought Butlins closed down because everyone was going to Spain for their holidays
    I was a trolley boy in its hay day. When I made enough money, it was straight to the shop inside for a knickerbocker glory. I use to love them.
    My mother worked on the little kiddies side shows inside. She said it was a real boring job.

    • @TheDudgies
      @TheDudgies  4 дні тому

      I'm sure the cheap holidays to Spain didn't help matters, but the last season I remember it being open it was still busy. Thanks for sharing your memories with me Taff Mate 😃👌

    So if the council are responsible for the camp going and then responsible for not letting Henry have rides at the top of the fair its as if they want to destroy the island ! The houses wouldn't be there today if the holiday camp still was so then there wouldn't be a problem having rides at the top end . Monkeys would run the council better !

    • @TheDudgies

      @TheDudgies  8 днів тому

      Haha, the original proposal was for the toilets to be turned into 3 retail units & partly open air restaurant on the top? 😊

    If the Council really wanted Butlins they would have bent over backwatds to keep. A very well known established company bringing in business. So I suspect it was Butlins decision to pull out as they did in many other uk spots. . I am from Margate Kent where Butlins thrived for many years. Suddenly they shutdown . Great shame. I am by Merthyr Tydfil for the last 20 years. Thanks for your tour of Barry.

    • @TheDudgies
      @TheDudgies  7 днів тому

      It's such a shame that Butlins pulled from some of their sites, it must have had devastating consequences for the local areas as it did here at The Island, thanks for watching 😃👌
