Barry Island Pleasure Park has begun to make improvements to its site on the seafront, starting with the addition of some new rides.
The park is already full of rollercoasters and rides for the family, with Aerospace dominating the skyline across the Island. Standing at 65 metres tall and spinning at 75mph, this ride offers the adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers among us a reason to venture down to Whitmore Bay.
Now, the Danters are looking to build on the reputation this ride brings.
Families with youngsters who ventured down to the park during the half term holidays may have noticed a new ride for those who prefer something a little slower paced.
The brand-new Caterpillar Coaster is a small family coaster that gives families a chance to join in the fun and introduce the white-knuckle rollercoasters of tomorrow to their first adrenaline experience.
The addition of some new rides, like a new bumper car ride, has been delayed by the War in Ukraine, as steel prices rise rapidly and the production of computer parts in the area was halted.
“We’re trying to take it from one level to the next the best we can,” Harry Danter said.
“We just want to make a good day out and experience for the people.”
Mr Danter teased that the biggest improvement yet will come before the end of this year, with announcements to be made soon.
