Barry Island Fun Fair Circa 1986 - Traum Boot, Fun House, Flitzer, etc

A compilation of clips from 1986's Bloody New Year, aka Time Warp Terror by British Schlock-Master Norman J. Warren. Notable for clips of the old Barry Butlins and the various rides that have long since gone from Barry Island's fun fair, which is now a pale shadow of its former self.

propa,...lovley

[@carolinehall3901]

Brings back some not so good memories, im sure the boat was called Mary Rose in 1986 and the flitzer was called the mousetrap. I know this because in the summer of 86 I was involved in an accident on there, ended up seriously hurt in hospital

[@freedomjunkie7843]

So, the Walzers are covered in flags - the flags of England, Scotland and the Union flag. No Welsh flag. At a fun fair in Wales... :(

This was a time when Barry Island was a good place to go, now it's just a shit hole.

[@goodolgranite8247]

Barry Island has never been the same since the Holiday Camp closed in 1996.

[@joeoldskoolbeef]

This place bought so much joy. Now it brings nothing but depression and misery
