[@UKFunfairsTV]

Great Vlog, there’s always something new to see in Barry, Henry’s doing a great job there, it’s a place that’s high on my bucket list 👍🏻

[@TheNextOuting]

Nice vlog - we look forward to visiting again later in summer!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Wow amazing long vlog Andy nice to see Henry in it and the Barry island crew just watching it now

[@paulbroomhead2214]

Really enjoyed that pal. Great vlog. Wish I'd come down now. Weather looked amazing. Henry Danter, what a lovely fella. 🎢💙

[@Coaster_Crazy]

There’s always next time our kid

[@Hugo-BB]

Thats good news cy abott is coming to barry island. I cant wait to get on New York New York as it will be my first time. I would say it is in the top 5 best looking rides in the UK.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

No I said Cy Abbott should come to Barry Island

[@seany84uk]

Good vlog and i love how he wants to expand the place. It makes no sense why the council are resisting his plans and investment ideas. Permanent themed rides and attractions are the future.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Yeah but all councils are the same

[@luffiethecat6795]

good luck henry we could do with another Butlins best dayz out with the kids in Barry Island

[@caroljones9438]

Thanks 👍

[@NICKYG2X3.]

hahaha that guy on the mic, this vlog is awesome

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Thanks 😊

[@worldwidebear1967]

Hey Andy. Thanky for showing it. I like the "behind the scene" parts and I was impressed that Henry was so friendly and chat with you. The Coster you was on it, was this a Pinfary Credit? Im not quite sure, but it looked like it. Anyway Barry is a nice place for a short trip on a weekend, i guess. Greetis Joe

[@timhart7607]

I remember going on the Whacky Gold Mine ride at Barry Island in the 1980s

[@gb9727]

[@attractionshubno1]

Great Vlog as always Andy

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Thanks 👍

@@Coaster_Crazy you’re welcome

[@cassandralock4784]

Yes there is there is Premier Inn, on Barry Waterfront, also Premier Inn in Wenvoe, ( about 10 Min Drive from Barry Island, and also Travel Lodge Attatched to Toby Cavery, Rhoose,

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Ah see I went on booking.com and didn’t look at Premier Inn lol

[@THEEXPOSER666]

Next step should be investing in a permenant coaster a RMC single rail or intamin would be great

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Yeah, nice place I have heard Barry Island, have seen it featured a few times in Gavin and Stacey, might watch that in a while actually lol. Good comedy show to watch, I think Nessa actually had a lot of scenes in the arcades there? Not sure? But I think they filmed it there? But anyways, good show worth the watch 100% in my opinion. About Henry himself, what a legend 100%, good to see an owner like him as happy & proud, as don't really see that much anymore as far as I know anyways? But love his spirit & motivation 100%. Be good for him to get opportunity & go ahead for apartments / accommodation for guests of park & for attractions to stay in especially with lack of hotels & accommodations in the area. Find that disappointing, as thought there were loads of hotels around that area especially it being a tourist hotspot, shocked to be honest. A multi car park would be ideal for this park aswell to save room for new additions a.k.a coasters, rides and more, have given idea to Dreamland Margate a few times, think that would be ideal for them either on current land or via an offsite piece of land? Think with recent problems with some Councils at the moment that Southend on Sea could do with their own aswell especially as council round Southend have put the car parking prices up, which Adventure Island aren't happy about & I don't blame them. Some councils currently being out of order at the moment & making really bad & silly decisions. I mean first one with Diddly Squat Restaurant & farm shop, a project that would of have endless supplies via other local farmers for produce aswell his own farm for a local restaurant for business with a new car park to solve some or most of problems in area around his farm shop. That was a bad call 100%. This with Henry's accommodation / car parking plans I find ridiculous & think should be given go ahead and Southend on Sea with car parking prices is a joke, aswell after Manston Airport getting go ahead of becoming both a cargo & passenger terminal again, Thanet council protesting against it in an attempt to get it to be abolished. What the hell is wrong with all these projects really? Cause I see nothing, nothing wrong with any of them what so ever including although not sure if council related the things going on? But also what's the problem really with The London Resort. It had nature parks included alongside two gate designed parks with everything ideal for all , now thats looking more uncertain to happen because a bunch of people are being ungrateful that park aren't thinking about nature, when clearly they have been in their concept arts. Its a massive joke, but anyways, cheers for another video, vlog, really interesting & hope Henry gets go ahead & support for his projects. 😀👍

[@allanc100]

"they allow dogs here.... Its a bonus but Lisa's gone to a horror hotel tonight" 😂🤣😭 forgive me for laughing but I really don't belive you meant that the way it came across to me. On another note... Amazing vlog as always! One of the very few funfair vloggers I actually follow!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Haha you know what I meant lol and thank you so much

[@NICKYG2X3.]

a wholr hour at barry island in wales? oh yippeeeee

[@alunwilliams584]

Seeing as the topscan is half built in the park, the gold mine is literally in bits, there’s vehicles parked randomly outside the runaway train, aerospace isn’t even open and theyre extremely short staffed, do u think it’s the best idea to film a vlog here at this particular point in time with all the maintenance being carried out? Edit - I’d just like to add, by no means is this a hateful comment, I do enjoy all of your content

[@Coaster_Crazy]

The park is now open all year round but still in the winter season so obviously there’s going to be rides closed or still under maintenance !! The park has since added a brand new Twister and a couple of other rides so will be back later in the year as I still need to ride the Runaway Train coaster and the Wacky Gold Mine

[@peedlejaydle]

Not sure about the walls of the hotel you stayed at, the bed and the bathroom looked lovely but couldn’t they smooth the walls or at least pain them nice? Or am I like usual missing something! Great vlog as always thank you Andy

[@ridemadness]

mondial topscan :)

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Oh yeah lol 😂

[@mylesbessant]

There’s an premier inn couple minutes from the island not far from Asda 😊

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Not when I looked in booking.com

[@Scatter101s]

@@Coaster_Crazy maybe if you took a minute out of your time to look it up on Google for shops near you’d have the answer straight away..

[@joncot25]

He needs to clean that place up, so much crap everywhere, it’s been the same since he took it over !

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I agree with you, he needs to hire a few skips and throw some stuff away

[@darren1720]

16:48 I see a ufo 2000 ride so cool and did you know the log flume in great yarmouth is gone

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Yes I know about the Log Flume

[@darranbeal5947]

Mr Coaster, No hotels in Barry?, I stayed at the Premier Inn a few weeks ago which is just a 2 minute drive from the Pleasure Park.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Yes you probably did but there was no hotels in Barry when I looked on Booking.com at the time

[@metroytse6173]

There are LOADS of B&B's and places to stay in and around Barry!!! I guess most were closed as its out of season or maybe they are full of uhmmm...."long term tourists"!!

[@paulclover2839]

Noticed a coaster crazy sticker on back of you're phone do you do merchandise andy

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Yes I opened up a Spring Shop

[@NICKYG2X3.]

did you say you had a haunted vlog coming up. i would love to watch you visit places like that wow

[@Coaster_Crazy]

No my missus stayed in a haunted hotel over night but I’m thinking of booking one

[@NICKYG2X3.]

,mine craft was cool bro

[@LauraCarpenter-gh4od]

I would be put off Barry island the way Shawn was spoken to there last year :(

[@kategoacher6222]

You can't really judge a place by one person's experience though tbf

[@Hugo-BB]

Theres a video that someone went upto the ride operator and got the true side of the story. Shawn in the real world is a bit of a kid and throws a tantrum if he doesn't get his own way. He needs to grow up. Look at rides uk video on barry island or slothy vlogs. The reason why speed 32 is sometimes closed is because of the wind. They cant oparate it at a certain wind speed. Thats why they don't update on FB that if it is open or not. No one can predict how the wind will be on that day niether predict mother nature. I have been to barry island many of times and had fun there except when I went there in october it was too cold for me. I hate the cold with a passion.

[@Hugo-BB]

Also if it was a bad place do you think cy abott would go there and any other people with their rides?

[@robster-vision475]

[@CoasterFlop]

He mentions later in the vlog that the Rugby was on so hotels were full.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

[@Coaster_Crazy]

[@waynecheshire7878]
