My nan lives near Rhyl. They are meant to be building an Asda on the fairground.

Well from the photos I've seen of the park, it looks more run down than Southport and that's saying something! The Loop also looks one of the more Painful Zyklons!
So do you know if this is positive to happen?
|
Guest

Unconfirmed at the moment. The whole town is a dump TBH.
|
Mr. Splash
|
Are both parts of the park getting sold off?
|

It's one part these days. Has been for a few years now.
|
Mr. Splash
|
Yeah I can imagine. Them Pinfari coasters have seen better days!

I would love to try the water chute there some time.
|
Mr. Splash

Looks pretty much a carbon copy of Vikingar
|

Its more of a Log Flume.
|
Mr. Splash
|
No like I say its exactly the same thing as Vikingar just different trains. Its just themed like a Log Flume

Alright, this is getting out of hand.
I wouldn't Doubt that Rhyl would close, but unless you can get a more reliable source, i can't believe you, and i doubt many others could.
BTW, Rhyl has more coasters than SOuthport. Just thought i might say that.

Well, it even said on the news last year, that there were plans for it to close.
|

^ Sorry, but not all of us live in the u.k, and if that is the source, then maby you should say that, because the first post could of been any made up junk.
Not that i doubt Rhyl would close though, place looks like a dump!
|
Mr. Splash
|
Sorry PBE's first post was split off from another topic so he didn't know about the news thing.
Anyway its pretty much visible thats its gonna close. A busy day probably counts as about 70 people, and the rides are gettting so run down now.

Rhyl's park is - quite honestly - crap
|
Mr. Splash
|
I haven't even been there and I agree. Any park where a Pinfari is a major ride is crap
|
oz boy
|
So you finally agree that Luna Park is crapper then American Adventures?
|
Mr. Splash
|
Yeah OK you win. Wait a sec, thats a good thing for me
I know Zyclons are painful, but Loop has got itself a reputation at Rhyl
|
Mr. Splash
|
Rhyl has just begun to remove one of their family coasters. Could this be the beggining of the end?

Dude, it was "the beginning of the end" years ago when no begger went there
|
Mr. Splash
|
OK then the beggining of the removal . Normaly I would shake my head at seaside parks like this closing like Southport, but this time I couldn't care less.

Hootay for Demolition of Brit Parks!
|
Mr. Splash
|
Good use of smiley. Don't do it again
Nah the only thing I will be sorry to see go in this park is the old water chute which was a replecar of Vikingar.
|
luke_manc
|
And we all know where Vikingar came from don't we?
|
Mr. Splash
|
Belle Vu park. Lets just hope some small park takes notice of the Water Chute.

Bell Vue, MANCHESTER
It was in my home town years before Blackpool and the Welsh had to copy it - Ha!!
Nah, seriously, I heard about Bell Vue years after it closed and I'm so gutted we don't have something like BPB nearer us nowadays but it'd last as long as a whopper sat in front of me... Too many chavs wanting to wreck it within time.
|
Mr. Splash
|
Yeah sadly this is playing a part in parks becoming run down; vandalism.
|
oz boy
|
^ and thats not a problem anywhere else?
Thats the one problem with melbourne. Grafiti is EVERWHERE!
|
Mr. Splash
|
Same with Spain, but the graffiti there is talented. The graffiti here is some pratt scribbling their name on a sand bin
