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.

Great to see The Flitzer and log flume in their 80s glory, it was a great amusement park for my younger self

[@joeoldskoolbeef]

A trip down Barry was the highlight of the 6 weeks holiday. Top top memories.

I used to spin those Waltzers as a kid working through my school holidays on the fairground, brought back memories

[@nednood92]

Blimey! That brought back some memories. I was 11 and used to go once a year in the summer.

[@baza2412]

I was butlins staff In 78 and remember it so well

[@paulathomson493]

I went on Mary Rose in Barry and Benbom brothers....fairground blood in me...😊

[@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... :(

[@arserobinson7118]

Barry used to have two ghost trains really - The Ghost Train & The Wacky Gold Mine.

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

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
