i think if that funfair has been invested in it would have brought a lot of people 2 rhyl

[tonymott1962]

Yep it sure would of the problem was they had time but no one came forward to do it up with a revamp and it cud of been yrs in that state so cant blame the council for snapping up the deal to invest it in other ways i suppose ?

Rhyls demise is a crying shame but many other British holiday resorts are suffering as well.Anybody noticing Blackpool having to advertise on tv for the first time?.Rhyl never moved forward when times were booming like Blackpool did.

I lived in Rhyl 1973-1994 and saw the decline from a thriving holiday resort to a drug infested dosshole. Pat yourselves on the back Rhyl Council.

@wesleypresley1000 I have took my 3 year old to Rhyl 2 years running. We usually have lovely weather and we loved the kids fair and the days playing on the beach. Also some days we take a drive out to other places like the zoo in Colwym Bay or Llandudno.He wants a trip on an open top bus next time as well.

@jbondjnr It was called the Marine Lake.We used to go on the splash cats too,and the mini train going around the lake. We also loved the big high slide. they always It was always fun. We'd sometimes bring our friends too and they always had a good time too.

Forgot to say in the post........got so many blisters on the roller skating ring with those strap on skates....

Just seen the video...what a shame.Ysed to holiday there in the 70's and 80's for 16 years with my parents brother and sisters.what a great time we had,had my first snog on the prom in one of those bus shelters. Also remember the lake behind, unable to remember the lakes name, but me and my mother wemt on those splash cat paddle boats they had also the mini go karting at the side,price was 12p for 4 laps,they were the best days of my life with very fond memories.Many thanks tony for the upload.

And to think i used to go on that fair every single year on my holidays. As a child in the early 80's it was a tradition for our family to go on the fair the last day of our hols.Us being kids,our dad would pay,we'd have a fab time. Oh, i also went on the fair in my teens,was great. Its ashame they couldn't have made improvements to it ,and the nearby area instead of knocking it down.

@gaynorwilliams1 I lived in Rhyl similar time 1973-1994, I agree with all you say , Rhyl was great back in 70s and 80s.I worked in arcades on fair [playland and golden goose] 1978-1982, brilliant times. You must remember the same things as me, before Rhyl declined into what it is today. I think I even remember your name from Rhyl High School. I mangaged to escape in 1994 due to a new job. I visit now once a year but am saddened on each revisit.

great post of a dying holiday resort...our council in s-o-t are just as bad..damn hopeless..went to blackpool bank holiday ...deserted...councils are full of ppl in it for cash..

@IRI5HJ4CK Enjoy the old vids on youtube, that is all that is left of the old Rhyl. Too late to revive it now. They seem to be building luxury flats all over tthe prom. Who is going to buy one?. Another great idea by the morons who run Rhyl Council.
