I feel really sorry for the haunted house operator. Ok he shouldn’t of done it but he could lose his job from this. And we all know it isn’t the best time to lose your job right now. Also he could of been told by his manger that that’s what he has to do. I hope you complained discretely and didn’t embarrass him. He looked so young 🥺
We decided that the best option would be to email the park privately with feedback on our visit
Theme Park Worldwide ok cool
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Did henry danter reply to you.
Well put
I know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online ?
Watching because I love theme parks and also Gavin and Stacey 😂
Thank you!
Going there today
I wish they’d shown like a scene in the series (which I love) of gavin and smithy on some of the rides I’d actually be dead 😭🤣
5:38 I love the way you just chat away about park procedures whilst on a ride. Typical Shawn!! 😂👍🏻
0:43 just me and my sister walking out thru the entrance ✌🏼
Shawn: casually narrating while riding an exfreme flatride
Me: trying not to choke on my own vomit just from watching the video...
Same. i nearly threw up while watching this video.
The Gravitron! I remember that one from my old local park (Pleasure Island, Cleethorpes), so seeing it updated and still going strong here is really nice, almost like meeting an old friend.
It was nice to see it again!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Yup! Me, I always like to be on the lookout for attractions from there. Sure, Pleasure Island might not have been the biggest or most thrilling park, but it's still one that's very special to me!
It makes me happy to see you all having a good time 👍😀🎢🎡🎠
Thank you!
Great Video!! Keep Up The Good Work. You Have Not Changed From When I Started Watching You. I Love Watching Theme Park Worldwide
Thank you

Love that lap bar 😂😂😂
I love sitting back with my family and watching your videos. we enjoy them so much and it helps us know where we can go for holidays. Keep up the good work :D

Luv your vids going to the beach in Barry today lovely weather great 👍
Thank you!
Thank you Shawn and Charlotte for visiting South Wales, Barry island.
i love barry island also loved the vlog ❤👍
Love Barry hope you enjoyed it there
I loved going to Barry island as a child I can remember the fun house with funny mirrors and a rocky bridge and a huge slide it was awesome
Hi shawn and Charlotte really enjoyed all your summer vlogs thanks for all your hard work. Bringing us all the fun of the fair. Love to you both take care love Tracey xx
Thank you very much Tracey
Another great vlog guys
Thank you!
love your vids!!!
Thank you
So much better than last year, wish I could go there again
It does have a nice selection of rides on offer
I was here 3 years ago. It's changed a lot because when I went there was not as many rides. I'm very shocked about that ghost train though!
love your channel ! charlotte makes it even cooler! appreciate all the vlogs you put on TPW as well as ADVENTURE SHAWN! i really look forward to watching both your channels when i'm not working! until your your next video is posted, see you soon and take care!!
Thank you very much
It looks loads different since I last came in 2014. So much more thrill attractions
Me and my family were here just 2 days ago. Had a great time loved it!
We’re glad that you had a good time!
Great video Shawn and Charlotte, can't beat a bit of Barry island, great place 😀👍👌
Thank you for watching
I used to go to Barry Island almost every year when i was a kid 40 years ago, we stayed at the Butlins which is now long gone. I remember going on the cable cars from the park down to the beach, also remember the fun fair being a total dump lol It looks soo much better now x
Thanks for sharing your memories
Love the vlogs Shawn !
Thanks!
Loving the vids!
Thanks Neil
great video nice to see you having fun at barry island the weather was great for you i was hping to go to barry one day i love watching your videos they are great hope to wach more : )
Awww yay the Gravitron!!! The one here they call it the starship 3000...im late ive missed a couple vlogs but im here now!
Thanks for watching!
There was a coaster just like cyclone that pre dates the log flume at ocean beach in South shields. Twas a classic.
Love the video but when Charlotte said absolutely unacceptable just made it for me. She sounds so cute
Cant wait to go
Barry Island was like Porthcawl when I was a kid and was a great place to visit. The old Log Flume using the remains of the scenic railway was brilliant, as was the old rollercoaster they had there. The Tram Boot was a great pirate ship which went fully upside down and they had a large dogems layout there. Then of course there was the old Wacky Goldmine and Frankenstein Scream Machine which John Wardley (who lived in Barry at the time) did work on for the park, both of which were great in their height of their lifespan.
The place used to be so busy back in its hey day that it would remain open until 11pm and had a great atmosphere. When Butlins across the road closed that was the end of the park. The guy who owned Hypervalue took it over and injected quite a bit of money into it, but it never recovered, he died, and the park closed for a while. They were going to build apartments on the land but I think Danters(??) said they could transform it and were given licence to operate there.
Personally - I dont like the whole travelling funfair feel to the place. Barry in the past felt more like a theme park with fixed rides, whereas now, its a mix of rides you can see in any travelling fair. Many of the rides are very old and expensive to go on. As for the ghost train experience I think the inside of the ride for £3 each was shocking enough, let alone someone touching you, which, regardless of a pandemic is unacceptable anyway.
As for people saying you should be saying positive things about the park, well, the camera doesnt lie. You can see the rubbish all over the park, maybe if some of that was cleared away it would help. I think your review was fair and honest. Maybe the park could invest a bit more in training the ride ops and cleaning up around the rides to make it feel less like a travelling fun fair then it may help the place.
I believe from stuff I have read in the past that the guy running the place does want to make it a success and has every good intention to do so, for me, personally, I think transforming the park from a travelling fun fair into a resort would be the answer to this.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, a very interesting read!
Amazing amazing amazing
Showing my age now, The Beastie was first positioned in Forbidden Valley where the Nemesis Sub Terra/Project 42 building is at the moment before it was moved over to where the Octonaughts coaster now sits. I believe it debuted the same year as Nemesis but don't quote me! Great video you too, nice to see the Beastie still going, even though the lapbars could do with being sorted out LOL.
Thank you. It’s still going, just about!
My brother and I can't believe that you were in Wales! We would of loved to have met you both! Your videos are awesome! Hope you had a great time at Wales!
Thanks for your support!
They used to have the Miami ride from Butlins a few years back.
You see those kick down rides everywhere now
They used to have a clone of the Great Yarmouth wooden coaster at Barry Island , the park was owned by the brother of the Great Yarmouth park.
The park does indeed have so much history to it!
Oh wow Kick Down (KMG Freak Out) is there. Never normally travels that far. Mainly travels in the NE and Surrounding areas
It’s coming back up north in the next few days
Surprised me that Stanley Reeves’s top scan is there to.
Thanks Shawn & Charlotte. Ive really enjoyed your videos this summer. Particularly enjoyed the on ride footage, where you could manage it, I didn't really enjoy the dark ride ones as I couldn't really see anything lol..
Thank you very much
Glad to see Barry Island operating again, however what happened with the ghost train is shocking.
My 10 year old son taylor loves your blog he watches it all the time never misses it ,taylor say hello too you both 😁😁👍👍
We’re glad that he enjoys visiting!
Another Awesome Vlog From the Theme park Worldwide channel I actually went to Barry Island this year and I am quite shocked about what happened on the Ghost train but when I went the operator didn't do that
Thanks for all you do !
That's terrible coming from a theatre nurse! God love yas xxx
Madness all them parks everyday and the last one that happens !
Have a good rest I look forward to the illuminations !
11days left til baby Robson arrives now hehe xxx
Thank you for everything you do!
that ride that char rode is the only ride i ever got sick on at cedar point when i was a kid-had a different name cant remember it been over 45 years ago lol
Can't wait to go tommorow on the beach and the peir
I’m actually going there it only takes me an hour to get there can’t wait 🤩🤩🤩
You two are really cool. Thanks for sharing your adventures 👍
Edit: (when I was a teen) I've been on something similar to the gravitron at our local fun fairs. This one was an open air circular cage that also went in the air.. a bit like the 'frisbee' but no seats just gravity. We used to go on it upside down (not safe lol)
Thanks for sharing!
So great after a long day at college 🥳
Thanks!
Best Notification of the day😁😁😁
Thanks for watching!
my hometown omg !! 😝😝
Wow. I remember The Beastie at AT !
Thanks for another vlog, watched Coaster Crazy's recent vlog that he posted recently, searched this and thought I had to watch it. Good vlog, never visited this park yet, but its on my list as a park would like to see, its a long way from where currently am. So one day hopefully as part of a holiday or trip, but not yet. Nice park, heard recently that the owner would like to build a multi storey car park, accommodation for guests to stay over for nights in at least I think this is what he would like to do? But needs planning permission to do so, but be good if he did get it because then loads of extra space for additional rides, attractions and coasters both visiting & maybe permanent? Would love to see a permanent log flume here with massive amounts of theming & medium & large drops. Think one would be epic & bring a lot of popularity especially in the summer as think one they have now, is good for funfair vibe, but think they would benefit from a permanent immersive themed version with original storyline, boats and bigger hills? Might give more use to train station aswell as that looks rundown, think that could do with a redevelopment. But until something like mentioned has happened, hope to for now see owner gets permission granted if true for parking & accommodation. Again cheers for video, look forward to future & next videos & vlogs. 😀👍
I thought the fair had gone.....glad it's not. Hi from Swansea👋
How are you so calm and able to talk properly whilst upside down and flung around like a ragdoll. Im like WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I’m just used to going on the rides that much now!
Fantastic job! Doing daily vlogs with new content all the time is the ultimate test for any CZcamsr and to do the month - well hats off to you both. Blackpool Illuminations: As far as we have been able to tell the Heritage trams will probably only run 2 tours a night. You'll need to pre-book and they will allocate you your seats. Obviously you'll need to wear a mask. The illuminated trams will not make an appearance until perhaps November as there has been no one to work on them during the summer. So they plan to run the balloon cars as they offer the most social distancing opportunities. Switch on night appears to be a live stream. The Illuminations dept. have done a great job and there are quite a lot of new things including a Spitfire at Gynn Square! Hope that helps.
Thank you for your kind words and also the information!
I visited Barry Island as a kid, and it was like a scene from "The Lost Boys".
Weird how I went there earlier and just decided to type in barry island to see what comes up and was shocked this said 6 hours ago. I watch your vids all the time
Thanks for watching!
Im going to blackpool pleasure beach on the last week of October and im so excited to ride icon for the first time!
Have a fantastic time!
In 1992, when I worked on the monorail at Alton Towers, the beastie was where nemesis is now.
It was indeed!
I suspect the ghost train operator meant well, just not too aware of peoples distance requirements
I’ve since contacted the park with feedback on our experience
Amazing vlog TPW.
Thank you
@@ThemeParkWorldwide You're welcome.
Good vlog.
Cheers Ben
I remember being down here in 1995 , I stayed at the former Bultlins holiday camp next door, this funfair belongs to Harry Danter , the original pleasure park went bust.
It does indeed
I love Barry Island, my local park. That guy on the ghost train needs going!!!! 😍
I was really surprised!
@@danielledewitt1 It doesn't matter if it's part of the ride you don't touch people in the middle of a global pandemic.
@@danielledewitt1 Well I really hope your keyworker is washing her hands regularly and wearing protection ie gloves , masks because you can catch it through touch that's why we are all wearing masks and sanitising our hands . It's passed from close contact with people through nose and mouth droplets hence social distancing. Get you facts right first .
@@danielledewitt1 I give up you just don't get it ......... 😤
Another great Vlog as always Shawn mate and I completely agree with you about what happened on the ghost train. It's completely unacceptable considering what's going on in the world at the moment.
Thank you
Theme Park Worldwide you’re welcome mate
The ghost train opp has been doing tha5 same jump scare for decades. MY brother and Igot th3 shoulder grab thing 37 years ago. 😂
Your second ride is new from Porthcawl it came last year👌
Nice video 👍
I went on wendsday the 26th of August with my girlfriend and the family it was so much fun
I live in colombia, we used to have what I believe was the new beast (alton beast) at alton towers for a few years in my local amusement park, unfortunately it has since been removed but I did enjoyed going on that
Thanks for sharing!
Another great vlog as always, some of them rides are quite expensive, would be better if the park done a wristband
Thank you. It is quite pricey however the token deals make is better value if buying in bulk!
In the US the have a Halloween event where you drive in your car very slowly and scareactors scare you from a distance. It looked really well thought through and save and surprisingly enough still scary (in a good way). Something like that might be doable and save for Halloween. :)
This looks very good from what I’ve seen!
We need to get Shawn on a Rotor!!
Another Towers link. John Wardley created a ride at Barry called Uncle Frankenstein’s Scream Machine. Nice to see Beastie and Graviton, which I have ridden at Towers. The place has changed a lot since I last went when they still had the Flume with theming
He did indeed! It’s a shame there’s nothing left of it now however the site does still have that special feel to it!
I've noticed the cyclone is the same rollercoaster as mad mouse in southsea
It used to be so much better with original log flume and perm rides. Your review is exactly right, a funfair in a car park sadly! Wish they wouldn’t cram the rides in so close to one another now, just to fit in a car park on-site (lots of other parking available on the island).
I’d certainly love to see more permanent rides here again
Hi Thame park worldwide great video 😀
Thanks Harry
Hi Sean great video 😀
Thanks
Best youtuber
Thank you for your kind words
It’s weird to think that Barry Island used to have a clone of Great Yarmouth’s Rollercoaster. The park would look so different, now, if they hadn’t removed it.
Hi I never new that I go to Great Yarmouth quite a lot I've rode the rollercoaster many times . Very interesting.
Funhouse and Hell Raiser two great horror films also.
It’s Hellraiser not Hell Raiser, silly.
Top scans are my favourite rides! Also I love Charlotte’s mask! You guys deserve a rest from all those videos!
Edit: that was unacceptable what that ghost train operator did
Thank you. Love a good top scan!
Come back for a better cycle on extreme modial topscan.
You WONT be disappointed.
Free ride
dont know if you can answer this , the yellow ride next to the gravitron was that razzle dazzle from pleasure island in cleethorpes also ?
I believe so!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide nice to see the rides are still being used !
Fantastic 😌☺️
Thanks Ross!
Theme Park Worldwide 😊😊
Love these vlogs. Just one thing. Id have had a word with the ghost rain operator. That way you could have put a stop to it straight away. You think how many people he's touched since you left. They do need to improve the covid safty measures
They do indeed. I’ve since contacted the park with some feedback on our visit.
that operator on the ghost train could still do a jump scare but only these two options
1) stand a good distance from the riders and have a mask on and shout something like ahhhhh or booooo.
2) wear a mask and protective gloves and touch your shoulders and use brand new pairs for every rider that he comes into contact with.
We are shocked as well that operator touching people is not good. We think we would have made a complaint. Great video we have really enjoyed all these vlogs going to miss them. 😭 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you. Don’t worry they’ll be new vlogs on the way, just not every day!
Great Barry Island vlog thanks 4 sharing tpw crew have you seen the news on scarefest in alton towers for the season
Thank you! We’re unsure yet on if we’ll be covering Halloween this year due to the pandemic
Ay I live five minutes away from here! Most of the rides are way too spinny for me lol
I went yesterday no human contact on the ghost train, but was probably the worst one I have been on. All other rides were good and I bought £35 worth of token so value for money wasn't bad either. I was quite impressed with the little SBF coaster and my girlfriend enjoyed the gravitron as she hadnt done one before
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hopefully they’ve stopped the touching on the ghost train!
If you can wait, then you should visit Denmark in 2022, because Djurssommerland is getting a Mack rides coaster. But i dont know which type.
I’d love to return to Denmark and visit the parks
The only reason Barry Island is a huge tourist attraction now is due to Gavin and Stacey. Although when I was a child that was my closest beach, so went alot but very rarely to the fair ground.
Good selection of rides - love the log flume but disappointed about the operator of Ghost train not observing social distancing and the loose lap bar on the dragon junior rollercoaster.
I was very surprised at what happened, as you can tell in the POV
I did the gravitron at cleethorpes it was a horrible experience! It was in a state too back then compared to now!
The gravitron or stardhip6 is an aousome ride the best part is the walls sliding unfortunately that's the I only version you will find in the us every carnival I know of has it
