First EVER Visit | THE HOPPINGS - Europe’s LARGEST Funfair
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- Join me as I visit The Hoppings on the Town Moor in Newcastle for the very first time and WOW this funfair is massive (still not the biggest I’ve visited tho) lol
The Hoppings is dubbed as Europe’s Largest Funfair however this year it is 30% smaller than it usually is due to poor ground conditions
I really enjoyed my time here, it was great to meet up with good friend Mark Forrest aka Disney Mark plus getting on some of the very best travelling rides in the UK

Smashing vlog. You covered the fair and the atmosphere very well. Good line-up of rides to choose from. A five hour drive for you to get there, now that's dedication for you.
Thank you so much, think I did ok considering it was my first time there and didn’t know what to expect

It was we all had a fun evening thanks for showing us around
@@Coaster_CrazyAny time Andy
Wicked vlog buddy 👏💯👌
Thanks 👍
They keep the grass long to prevent it from getting really boggy and messy when it rains it can soak it up quicker 👍
Great Vlog from the Hoppings Andy
Thanks 👍
@@Coaster_Crazy you’re welcome

Thanks mate
Omg I’m in this video it was nice meeting u me and my son are always fans and always watch your videos xxx
Was nice to meet you too
@@Coaster_CrazyI loved it honestly
Cost me a fortune 😂😂😂
@@markgrant2987 lol was worth it tho
Love it Andy
Thanks mate
Looks like a great atmosphere wish I could handle fair ground rides but they just make me feel sick most of the time great video andy
Dude I felt sick after the first ride lol
@@Coaster_Crazy 😂😂😂😂
The hoppins man 😂 went on a ride there when I was 14 called the Kings Loop! Traumatised for life it was hilarious we were shaking like shitting dogs when we got off.
Oh dear lol
Gutted missed you I went on the Sunday. The big wheel is in same place every year & that in just over midway point. Alot of rides missing like Rock Rage, Void, Air Maxx, Topspin, to name a couple. Glad to see XXL come this far North & is an awesome machine. Hopefully back to normal size next year but rumours are could be last, I hope not 😢
It would be a shame it’s the last one however these fairs are traditional and if they stop they can’t come back again
Great Vlog Andy. Apollo 13 looks great but not sure it’s worth a tenner 😱 Amazed at how quiet it was after 9pm.
Thanks !! A lot of these bigger rides are expensive at the huge fairs and they are very popular
I find taking your pet on a ferris wheel really cute for some reason.
Ah thanks
@@Coaster_Crazy I love your channel.
Never been but recognise some of the showmen from Hull Fair. Your so brave with those rides ha ha. Sadly with the cost of living. It's too expensive for a family of 4 to really make the most of any fairs in the UK at the moment. It definitely isn't as big as what I thought. Ice jet is a phenomenal ride.
Yeah tbh the whole fair is pretty much the same as Hull but on a field lol and yeah these big fairs can be expensive
@@Coaster_Crazy The worst things about fairs and fields is you can't avoid the sick. 🤣🤣
Oktoberfest Munchen and Stutgart are indeed larger then Hoppings. Oktoberfest Munchen claims to have 800 rides, attractions and food stalls. And they have Olympia Looping.
Definitely bigger
I also couldn't feel my legs on Apollo 13 its the best booster type ride I've ever done well worth the £10 great vlog Andy x
Yeah it’s a crazy ride
Great vlog mate just missed you by an hour 😂
Oh that’s a shame
Think I might have just missed you, I was there too. It’s definitely smaller this year than previous ones I’ve been to and nowhere near as busy as I’ve seen it in a long time, I don’t think people can afford to go to it.
Great vlog, truthfully you came the wrong year, ground was ruined which cost the showmen a lot of the ground. It would of been so much bigger. Maybe come back again when they have the full ground 😊 previous festival ruined part of the ground that's used for the fair.
That’s a shame about the ground and tbh I only found about this on my way to the fair from a 5hr drive
@Coaster_Crazy maybe come back when they have the full grounds? the owners of the ground didn't even want it to go ahead but the showmen managed to come to a agreement with the land owners luckily.
Both of crow’s mouses were not here Magic mouse (ex mellors) is currently being rented back to mellors and is currently in kuwait and crows spinning coaster (ex original fantasy mouse/mellors) is currently elsewhere
Its a shame it wasn't big this year but still had fun on Friday the grass wasn't the best x but wow its a great place very expensive this year too mad prices x
First EVER Visit | THE HOPPINGS
Coaster Crazy love louis shirley
Where did Tilly go when you was on the rides? Or was she getting the couple of creds? 😂😂😂😂😂 Awesome vlog. 😊
@@aspeyal8239 she was with my partner
@@Coaster_Crazy Oh 🤣🤣🤣
You went on Apollo 13 it was rated by Germans it was one their best in country and it weird think we’ll have something same quality from Kermis
Yes I remember going on it at a German Christmas fair a few years ago but I totally forgot lol
Great vlog
Thank you!!
I can't ride caterpillar coasters anymore. I'm 6'2 and rode the one in Yarmouth and it hurt me getting out because my legs are too long. 😂
That’s a shame
That attraction called Air. Is that the one that came from Germany ?
I have no idea but it’s been owned by by Danters from a long time
Air was built by Zierer in southern Germany but owned by Danters
Was that Mark Forrest the ex DJ off Metro Radio all those years ago ? 🤔
No idea lol 😂
As much as i love theme parks, i love funfairs. Will you be visiting goose fair and hull fair this October?
Not sure yet as they get so busy and already been to both a couple of times
they would never have a fair in a field that hasn't been mowed in australia there would be snake everywhere if they did be a major safety issue
Haha no snakes 🐍 here thank god
What was your best rides
Apollo 13
Are you going back to flamingo land this year pal
Yeah not sure when
Goid blog thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Xxl is a good ride but a ball ache to build up
The council messed up with the land,disgraceful state, I’m local and I’ve been 3 times this week already, but I agree ,financial side of things means it’s less popular
Such a shame about the ground
Send it Tilly in your cute cap,
You are right there is bigger funfairs they say hoppings goose hull Pinner is the biggest in The world they are lying 😂😂😂
I went to Pinner a few years ago, one of the worst street fairs I’ve been to, 5 big rides and 15 bungees lol
Well eye it is the largest fun fair in Europe u Muppet search it on google
Hi mate how's you. . You coming to yarmouth soon
Yeah hopefully coming soon
We need deca dance Germany funfairs please they are bigger and better than UK
Deca Dance is from Belgium but yes I agree
9:30 Her LIPS???
Yikes 😧
No ride should be £10
Glad I got it for free 👌🏻
On your comment about prices. People don’t realise the showmen don’t want to charge £3/4/5+ per ride, they have no choice, the rents from Newcastle council have gone up, the cost of fuel is sky high all the rides and stalls run on diesel, maintenance, replacement parts are getting more expensive, staff costs, insurance costs, travel costs. Everything costs money, it’s a business they’re running, they can’t run it at a loss. I travelled for years on the fair, and every year it got more expensive to run. Just remember before anyone makes any uneducated comments about the showmen and their rides their way of life prices etc, we’ve all gotta make a living, we’ve all gotta eat, we’re just out here trying to entertain the public while making a living. You’ve also gotta remember some of these snowmen will still be paying of the cost of buying the ride itself, which are worth 100s of thousands of pounds.
@HoldTightTheNorthEastCrew I agree entirely! I also work on the fair seasonally and its insane the cost of stuff! The grounds in my home town are cheap so the cost to ride each attraction is cheap. But let's say for MK it's like 3/4 quid a ride but that's the rent that does it. Not by choice
I agree with you too expensive x
@@Amusementnational the public don’t understand sadly and complaining about on social media isn’t going to help, blame the councils, blame the government and not the showmen.
70mt
If you mean the height of Apollo 13 it’s actually 50m tall as I’ve just Googled it
UK funfairs are dying the local people don't go because same rides every year all UK funfairs have the same rides over and over again year after year nuthing changes so know one is going
I was told that local people don’t even bother going to The Hoppings which is a shame especially when it’s on their doorstep
@@Coaster_Crazy well l`m local and i go every year andy i went on saturday n it was heving
