Thank you for watching! Check out our vlog from Coney Beach Pleasure Park here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM9jfaSF3MzLZKs.html

Dealt with the rude operator in such a British way! 'Nah we're done with that' 😂 big love guys!

It only takes one experience like that to put you off a place. Such a shame as Henry is putting his heart and soul into the place and is such a lovely man.

for those saying its just a permeant funfair, it is really not. Has some amazing rides which you no longer see in the UK. Great work Henry Danter, looking forward to come down one day in the near future!

That guy clearly realised he'd messed up. You could see him panicking just before he approached you. Well done for standing your ground, it was funny seeing you act in more stern way than we usually see you, but sometimes you just have to. You have spent years promoting the industry, and you are always very fair with your praise and criticism's. I guess they will regret being rude and unpleasant, when hundreds of thousands of potential customers watch this vlog. Good luck with the future guys both business wise and with each other. Cheers

Henry has done an amazing job in just a few years with covid in between transforming it from a closed down rotting shell to something worth visiting again. Remember, they don't have the capital or the space of the big theme parks so are not trying to compete. The place was fantastic in the 1980's with the log flume, Goldmine, Jungle ride, Galaxie coaster, fun house ,scream machine, Enterprise etc. But when Butlins and then Majestic holiday park closed it ripped the heart out of Barry Island by taking 5000 holiday makers a week out of the area and the park became run down. Whilst I fully agree that there is never an excuse for rudeness and this must be addressed, I think you should see the park for what it is and what Henry has done and continues to do. Without him it would be a residential area now. For the record, I've visited 3 times this year from Devon, the last time was August 5th. The sun was shining, about 95 per cent of the rides were running, no staff issues and my kids had a fantastic time. My son went on Aerospace twice and loved it. So a very different experience and I'm sorry yours was not a good one. Dudgies family vlog on KZfaq is run by friends of mine and lovely people that live on the Island. You can see the improvements to the park over the years and discussions with Henry showing his passion for the place. We have lost so many seaside parks , let's hope this continues to improve. (You can see film of the park in the late 70's early 80's in the Bloody New year film on here and the music video for "Let's go crazy" by Neil Innes).

Well done for keeping so calm during that altercation with that rude staff member! If you remember me I was part of the family you came to at Alton Towers in May - we were wearing TPWW t shirts! Love your content!

9:12 That was pitch perfect, Shawn!

Absolutely no need for rudeness! You were very calm in dealing with him-good for you! You and Charlotte come across as such nice people.He did himself out of any ride money by being unpleasant 🤷🏻‍♀

I took my family to Barry during the 6 week hols and they loved it especially the fair.

you have to laugh at it now so funny even two years later 😂😂😂😂

Such a shame! I’m sure Henry Danter would not be happy with the way the hell raiser operate was with you and the lack off communication, he has so much passion for that park. I would definitely recommend writing to him but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone sees this and tells him anyway! Hope you have a better visit next time

Shawn = legend. Just having a normal conversation, without skipping a beat, about upcoming trips while going full tilt on a spin 'n' puke.

I thought you might have been there yesterday afternoon, I waited by the ride entrance in case Shawn wanted a ride buddy! Airborne was operating all of yesterday doing many quite long cycles (leaving people up as they load), big fan of the channel wanted a chance to meet the heroes! There’s always next time :)

Hey just wanna say I'm Welsh and followed the channel for like 7 years now, huge fan, I do feel like both times you have been to Barry Island you have been unlucky, never seen many people have issues there before, do assure you that man isn't a reflection on us Welsh a really friendly bunch, look forward to your future vlogs now, keep doing an amazing job both 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The park is great trust me if you had a issue should of asked for Henry he would of sorted things out it's not right to put park down maybe stick to your 3 hours queueing at Alton towers 😂there is a ticket office if you looked

Great Vlog! Barry Island is a great pleasure land park! Sadly that AEROSPACE didn't open, but at least you and Charlotte had fun!

Hi Shawn and Charlotte, love all of your vlogs and content !!! Such a shame that he was rude to you, when all you was doing was talking about a ride poster and it ended up spoiling your day there. Keep up the good work as always, and I look forward to watching many more vlogs :)

Damn that staff member had that much of an issue over filming? He probably wanted a fiver out of you for the pleasure 😂

God knows what that guys issue was, two of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

Shame the trip ended the way it did, especially as it was the part you were looking forward to the most. From looking at the comments it seems like Barry Island isn't all that great but what I saw from other vlogs it seemed alright. I suppose experiences just vary. Good on ya for handling mr grumpy professionally and grown up, he could take a leaf out of your book.

Hi guys,I was absolutely disgusted to hear you saying about that ride operator behind you being rude to you when you are there to help and promote these kind of places and looking at how empty it is it needs some promotion but I an glad you stood your ground and didn't ride that ride,shame you didn't get on the new rude,I used to work at crealy adventure park in Exeter and after health and safety there next mist important thing was guest satisfaction and making sure everyone had a fantastic time and if a ride was not working then you apologise for that even thou it was my fault itcwas good service to apologise,thankyou guys for what you do and bringing the good and bad on every place you go and always honest,cheers

I was there last week for a Lasertag tournament. The Aerospace was running, as was the big wheel. The other rollercoaster and the log flume didn't appear to be operating.

What a numpty that ride operator was!! Just shot himself in the foot big time.....Quasar bought back some memories of childhood, not many of those around anymore. So gutted that you couldn't get on, nothing worse than not getting on a ride you specifically travelled for. I won't be travelling to Barry Island anytime soon.

Such a shame. We were considering Barry for our summer holiday but decided to go elsewhere. Glad I did. Congrats for staying positive when nothing goes your way.

Seem like the park deserves an apology as you decided to slate the park mostly because of aerospace being closed Would you slate alton towers for closing a ride due to technical difficulties? No you wouldn't. I didn't see you slating towers when the smiler was literally shut for a good few weeks last year...... Ever since aerospace opened last month It's been open everyday apart from the day you visited. This vlog is now at 30k views and counting.....if being a showman wasn't hard enough you've made it a lot harder for them now! I rest my case end off.

Hi Shawn, firstly I love your videos and fully support your opinions with parks. Its unfortunate to see you had a poor experience at Barry island but please let me reassure you that Barry is one of the best places I have ever visited. Me and a friend visited during a time where the weather was terrible and the park was dead. Most of the operators of the park had left for the day due to this however the owner of the park (im unable to remember his name) did his upmost to ensure we enjoyed our day to the best of his ability. I struggle to understand the stance you take in regards to there not being help points as there was when I was there. Barry island still remains one of my favourite parks due to the friendliness of the staff. Please give Barry Island another go! they have worked super hard to bring it back up to nearly the standard that it used to be. Hope you read this and take what I have said in and hopefully reconsidered your opinions in future visits :)

The Gravitron started in Barry island years ago

Shame that aerospace didn’t open, it looks huge! 👍🏻

I only live in Hull and it is having heavy rain over here. Nonetheless, love Wales! Has some amazing parks.

Haven't been to Barry since I was at St Athan in '93. Bloody hell has it changed for the better. Other than the atitude of certain people!

Hey Shawn.... I run a youtube channel (breaking trails) I recently filmed a vlog here at Barry island pleasure park too. I was fortunate enough to ride Aerospace but with the matterhorn I had the same experience too. I rode it and it didn't really impress me, so being honest to my subscribers I said what I thought.........followed by messages asking me to remove the vlog and/or parts where I rode the matterhorn and my honest opinions. Such a shame.

Those 1st generation Orbiters are better than the modern ones. Brings back 80’s memories of my local annual fairground 😂

Well done for handling that rude man very well, no need for him to be like that towards you both especially as you where trying to promote his ride. Otherwise, another fantastic vlog. Really enjoying the content thank you both, can’t wait for more

What a horrible old man that was. You did well not to be rude back well done. Not the most friendly of places definitely give it a miss. Another great video. Thank you. 😆😁😁😃😃😄😁😁

I like the fact that you have no fear for any ride that's thrown at you 😃

Such a shame the booster wasn't open, looked a right beast of a ride as well, as for the ignorant and rude operator, his loss at the end of the day and handled very well shawn when he approach you both " Nah were done with that " good on ya .

Did you know that the top scan there is the old one from lightwater valley which was called whirlwind ?

Nothing better than listening to Michael Jackson and going on rides☺️

Airborne had the same issues in it's opening year by the way. It was more SBNO then operating. They needed a year with KMG to resolve the issues

Regularly down Barry island as it’s only a short 20 minute train trip from Cardiff Areo Space was closed when I was down there last week they were refuelling it but they had it running in couple hours as for the Communication I’ve never had a problem with the the staff.

Thoroughly enjoy the blogs that show the true colours of places. Shame about the service but glad you show the raw footage!

We were planning to go to Barry tomorrow but do I really want to go with that dudes attitude? 😂

14:28 Spotted that exact one at a local funfair near me. I live in a small market town called Garstang (north of Preston, south of Lancaster and east of Blackpool). Every year (typically May) there is a small funfair here called Cubbins Fair that lasts 4 or 5 days. Last May I spotted the exact one from Adventure Island at the local fair, I know this because it still had the signage that said "Adventure Island" on and everything. It's an okay little fair, definitely one to keep your eyes peeled for next May.

Think their customer service skills are very lacking indeed!! Don’t see how they could ever be rude to you n Charlotte because both of you seem like nice, friendly approachable people. I remember a ride operator in Rhyl when I was a kid being rude to me when I politely asked a question. He looked grumpy like your guy too. Glad u enjoyed the other parks in wales :)

I find it hilarious how a member of staff sees someone clogging and decides to be rude not thinking about how if you’re clogging people are going to see it and then he thinks he can clear it up by coming over and starting it up again, don’t really know what he expected.

Listen darling if someone can be rude with you they can be rude with anyone like you said it makes you wonder if that's why it's quiet I really had my fingers and all crossed for you for the ride it's such a shame my love it's people like you guys that keep these places going see you on your next one x

In the years worth of videos I've watched from this channel, I've not seen anything quite like that. Again, shocking!

wow what an idiot that ride operator was! Perfectly handled when he came over and asked for a "chat" though. No point dealing with these people when they are gonna be rude! Great vlog as always though!

Disliked this video as you aren't being fair. Try going to the ticket booth and it's not always about you. I agree with the Dudgies KZfaq channel. No need to dis this park as you can't get your own way. You have to accept that rides have issues. Try speaking to the true owner who has put a lot of time and effort into this park. He's the one who saved it.

I’m sorry but can we all take a moment to appreciate the note you hit at 9:10 whilst riding a top scanner! NAILED IT! Haha

Hi shawn and Charlotte My goodness what a rude person he was that's such bad customer service. I totally agree with you i wouldn't bother going back . You are promoting there park and you get treated like that disgusting. You handled it well and in a mature fashion good on you both . Thankyou for sharing with us love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

If you are looking for good mini golf, the Dino one outside the trafford center is amazing.

This used to be an epic amusement park with lots of input from Mr John Wardley. It had a great looking, themed log flume and some great dark rides. I used to love the Century 2000 ride. Now it looks like any other travelling fair shoved on a car park, such a shame. There’s no excuse for bad customer service and rudeness when someone like yourself is promoting and supporting their industry also!

Such a shame about the member of staff. Having met Shaun and Charlotte in person a couple of years ago with my son who is a massive fan they where both lovely and generous with their time. Our family love you videos and appreciate the honesty of your reviews, even down to declaring when you have been given free entry. Well done for standing your ground and including in the video.

I recognise that guy from our trip about 6 months ago, there were two that were really rude to me for no reason, the one who shouted at me to get down the steps on the gravitron even though he said to come up and the other guy who said pretty much the same on the coaster. Shocked that they still haven't been spoken to about how they speak to paying customers. If I already wouldn't be going back due to the lack of decent rides, the lack of basic manners from some of the staff members would have put me off returning.

The dragon coaster is the one that used to be at towers

I feel Shawn has been very harsh. There are many reasons why I believe this: first go and watch any other vlogger/youtuber on Barry Island, and they all seem to be full of praise. Andy (coaster crazy) couldn't even fit on the ride and was full of praise for how the staff tried to make him fit and tried their best. I feel its hard to comment on the staff as he didn't show any altercation, I think if you were getting slagged off on camera you would go over to see what's going on its funny how quick Shawn wanted to shut him off.

Aerospace has moved from where it was behind Big Wheel, it’s moved down Park so facing towards the Old Harbour

3:14 I've Know This Roller Coaster. The Dragon Rollercoaster Is Appears In The Season 1 Episode Of Rosie And Jim The Original Series In 1990. Thanks Theme Park Worldwide Mate. X

last time i went i spent more time in the rum bar than the fair

perfect video Shawn and Charlotte, from Barry Island Pleasure Park, cant write to see the next video from somewhere in the UK, on the channel. 😀

The Netherlands in the house! ^^

Local coach company has just announced a day trip to Barry Island next April. Very tempting. Still never been on a Booster; so be nice to start on a big one

I went on top scan last week and I nearly passed out while on the ride cause I didn't think it would get that intense going backwards btw love the vlogs

Well done for handling that very rude man so well. Love you and Charlottes adventures. Xx

i miss Butlins as it was great just crossing the road to the Barry island pleasure park when a kid great days

Shawn and Charlotte, 'Maybe they were just having a bad time, best to call before the long trek,eh? The ride look amazing, very colorful( colourful):) No matter what, you are both so positive, that's so important these days. Cheers, Rik

I don't like it when ride operators have to be like that, you're only there to have fun and that's what he's paid to do, make people have fun. He's done that to himself. Brilliantly handled Shawn you legend.

Wow - I was thinking of heading here next weekend but seeing this Vlog and reading the comments here, I’ll give it a miss.

great video shawn and charlotte, and I have to say the barry island theme park sounds epic and amazing.

Shawn do you have footage of the original interaction with the ride operator owner who was rude to you please.

Just out of curiosity, what IS your favorite uk theme park?

I’ve never been to Barry Island before and I have to say that after watching this video I certainly have absolutely no desire to go there. Rudeness like that to guests is unacceptable and very off-putting, seems such a stupid thing to do when someone is genuinely trying to promote your ride to a wide audience!

Love watching your video's keep up the great work it's a shame some rides wasn't working hopefully you both be back soon

It's official - I'm going to Europe this January! I sent you guys a message with the dates I'll be there, just in case you guys might want to meet up or do a collab. I'm especially looking forward to checking out Efteling and DLP during my trip. I hope you enjoy your upcoming Florida trip - I'm looking forward to seeing those videos. Have a great time!

That was a very generous review considering the treatment you were given, I hope the park improves from your feedback!

So shocked at the way you were treated , but you handled it so well ❤️

I saw a Transport For Wales class 150 train at 8:39. This would be a nice trip to go to the Barry island pleasure park as there are lots of rides.

That ride operator gives us us Welsh a bad name. Should have gave him a good slap. I just missed you when you was there I'm gutted. Please don't let that tool put you off coming again in the future. Us Welsh are great so take no notice of that turd mate. Keep up the good work both.

So what did that guy say to you? Can't see him bring rude for no reason 😒 I've been here and he wasn't rude to me.

Guest services? At a seaside park? Stick to theme Parks. Showman have a tough time without this dire vlog. Do your research before travelling and you will find that there is at ticket box and that Charles Harris owns the Promenade permanent fair. It's not their communication its your lack of research. Stick to towers etc and leave the Fairs to the fair channels etc. No need fore the dire comments. Right, done with this subject now.

That's a disappointment for you guys! And shame about the rude chap, hope it didn't ruin your day! Enjoyed the vlog.

In my experience as 40 year old man i will never go to Wales again. Ive been so many times and they are rude and its expensive. I take my custom to Devon and Cornwall now as they are more polite and welcoming.

would love to of visited that park when the Scenic Railway (identical to Great Yarmouth) was still there. I didnt realise they have removed the log flume which was built from remnants of that beautiful coaster.

That man's attitude was disgusting! We won't be visiting there any time soon. Having met you (for the first time) at Drayton Manor last week we found yourself and Charlotte to be very friendly and approachable. My two kids were over the moon when we had a photo taken too! Keep up the fantastic vlogs! They certainly keep us entertained. Hope to see you at another park soon!

Shaun you need to post the cut out clip of the rude ride operator. Need to make sure you didnt provoke him 😂😂 . Made us laugh the way you politely shot him back down to earth.

Shawn on a Topspin is a jolly Shawn.

The sheer OOF when one of the most positive theme park blogs on KZfaq can barely manage to end the video with a smile. Oh Barry.. Top scan and new ride looks amazing though.

The last time IN went to Barry Island park was in the 1980s and they had one drop log flume, a whacy gold mine ride, enterprise, jets, tri star. big wheel. a jungle boat ride, a really fast ghost train, twister, waltzer, swing a round, big fun house, dodgems and a good fast coaster.

The guy seemed alright when we went down to film our vlogs at Barry, what did he say to you if you don't mind me asking ?

Pretty bad of Ride operator Gadger at 16:52 for being very rude to you and Charlotte - Self defeating in the end that they dish an ride influencer with huge UK and international following and Rude gadger put Barry Island in bad light and likely distract punters away After this scene should walked out and simply cut the blog to this scene and to highlight how unimpressed you were with park and uploaded just like this. It should be for the management of Barry Island for them to offer you a full apology to you and Charlotte - totally disgusted.

Brilliant vedio I love Barry Island thanks for sharing Shawn and challott enjoyed your selfs 💜💜💜

Another great Vlog we want to try the speed 32 looks so huge and epic a shame you didn’t get to ride it 😌

You handled that brilliantly sean barry looks awsome

That ride had me dizzy for ages after going on that today 🤣

lol... did he say can we have a chat lol.. well done for saying what you think love you reviews on the parks

Great video and memories Shawn. Hope You and Charlotte had a lovely hoilday in Wales

Going to Portcawl this weekend for a week, shame we missed you but loving the vlogs of what we can while down there. Not sure about Aerospace though haha

Crikey Shawn, you handled that really well. The way he just came over. Jesus. Hope he realises you're paying his wages 😅🤣
