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 😃👌🏴
Hi ya, just wanted to say been following the channel for years my youngest boy and myself used to watch together, not so much now he’s 16, I still am though love our Barry it’s lush!! FairPlay ❤
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.
Hi Steve grate vlog again M8, yes amazing news about the park this summer is looking packed fair play to Henry and the team always thriving to improve and as always never disappoint, looking forward to seeing more content
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😊
Rapids would be amazing Henry told me he had a new water ride coming last year but didn’t say what it was there’s still quite a bit of land he could use in the park where the car park is can’t wait to see what’s coming all together deffo gonna come back and vlog the park in the summer
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.
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 !
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.
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 😃👌

Barry Island is looking beautiful in the sun, just be careful when riding and Vlogging though MrD....those blocks can be slippery

Hi Mr D. I think the way they are moving rides something is coming and a Rapids ride could be it. That would be a great ride to have in the park.
Exciting times ahead mate 😁👌

Lots To Look forward to mate, roll on the summer 👋 🌞
Looks lovely. I can't wait to get down there 👌👍
Roll on the summer mate 😎👌 🏴
a rapids would be a great addition, would love to see an orbiter/extreme
Definitely would be a great addition to the park, we've had a few Orbiters over the years and have been very busy 😀👌

That's an awesome thing for your parents to have done & I'm sure it would have brought many people happy memories. Thank you for sharing this 🤗🏴
Looks a lovely day, is it cold as well as windy👍
It would have been if I didn't have my heated gloves 🤣👌
Rapids would be amazing Henry told me he had a new water ride coming last year but didn’t say what it was there’s still quite a bit of land he could use in the park where the car park is can’t wait to see what’s coming all together deffo gonna come back and vlog the park in the summer

It truly is shocking mate 🤦
@TheDudgies makes you think how much better the island could of been the the members of the council had a few brain cells .
Have they moved that steam train, I didn’t noticed it when you was riding past👍👍
Are you taking about the train that was up on the gardens? That went about 20 years ago? 😃👌
@ that’s right 20yrs ago, I left the country 8 yrs ago 😂. Goes to show I haven’t down the island for decades. How time fly😂
Question is aerospace coming back because I miss being on the ride is my top favourite ride ever 😢
Yeah deffo, it'll be built back up when the move around is complete 😃👌
@TheDudgies okay thank you for letting me know 😄
You didn't ask the guy what there doing with the toilets , restaurant maybe or an indoor dark ride ! That last part was a joke !
Haha, the original proposal was for the toilets to be turned into 3 retail units & partly open air restaurant on the top? 😊

Mr Dudgie, do you know what is happening with the Gold Mine ride? I hope that they have not given up on it after doing so much work.
It been shelved for the time being sadly, but Henry said it will return but not sure when 😀👌
The Council wanted to build houses !! MONEY MONEY MONEY. !!!
It's disgusting mate 👊😠
I climbed up those steps when I was a teenager would have been 12 13
Yeah I think we all did at some point, there's something about going somewhere you're not supposed to 😂👌
Can’t wait for next holiday vlogs I miss them :(
Hopefully the family will let me record one again soon 🤗
@ hopefully mate ❤️
Old toilets.!! Starting WHAT !! ???
About flipping time Roger Mate 👏😀
@@TheDudgies
Yes Steve, but what are going to build 🤔 ????
What is happening with the goldmine?
It's been shelved for now, but Henry says it will be back 🤷
Hopefully those Rapids turn up in April when I get all my annual leave for the year 🤣
Some fantastic news mate definitely need a catch up soon.
Fingers crossed mate, I'll speak to Henry later in the week & find out more 🤞😃👌
Another great vlog Steve hope to hear more soon on things around Barry and Henry’s fair
Wait until VOG start charging for parking the place will be deserted and businesses will close 🎡
Let's hope that don't happen 🤞
Why don't we see your family now ?
They're busy doing there own things nowadays 🥲
