cantdecide

Antone know if it's up and running??

Sully

cantdecide

Thanks Sully, a mate wants to bring his little boy out there sometime soon:)

Sully

The indoor arcades are always open but the outdoor ones wont be open full time until the high season kicks in fully in about June. At least, I think thats how it works!

Thanks.

Only for a short while though, then it stops until the mid term where it starts to wind back up again. Ah the peace!

All of the amusements will be open until near the end of September - The park will be having a half price day for the Tramore Surf and Sea Festival on September 20 & 21st.

deisemum

Are the half price days advertised anywhere other than here or is it a leaflet job with tear off tokens?

Sully

surfin; Is the park still open on weekends? A lot of the amusments have packed up and left - getting some enquires via Discover Tramore.

deisemum; It was advertised in local press also. I would imagine its just going to be half price for everyone.

deisemum

Thanks, my new teenage son and younger lad have me pestered to bring them out to it.

There doesn't seem to be as much rides this year as there was last year. Is there a reason for this? Where is the huge roller coaster gone and the water slide and the crazy mouse?

Its not fully re-opened yet. There seems to be a lot of traillers parking beside the park so the chances are they will be up and running shortly. They only start to open from the midterm for schools then they will have it ready for the summer season.

(Some rides wont return, they change every year)

alancw

Yeah was down there yesterday, and there was a fair few trailers in the car park beside the lake. It seems to be the roller coaster from last year!:D happy days!

deise girlie

The bigger rides travel around and are based in England (I think) like the rotor, crazy mouser etc. they usually don't arrive in Tramore until June. They shut up early last year around first week in September as far as I remember because of weather and bad season.

ex_infantry man

i would,nt say birds will bring most of em back this year coz of the **** season they had last year!! they should have just renamed the park funderland last year coz thats literally what it was!!!!!!!

shanemul

I'd say they will be back, doubt they have anywhere else to go for the summer

The amusments? There in Tramore for years, good enough craic if your into that kinda thing I suppose. Its a big attraction for kids and is there about 4 months of the year. They have a range of different rides but its nowhere near the likes of Oakwood etc. If you have kids, bring them down one of the weekends. Hopefully the weather will be good so they can enjoy the amusments and then head off to the beach

It is great when it's all there I have to say even if you're just playing all those darts games for little teddies and such. I avoid the rides completely because they're too fast etc for me but I've gone with friends and had a smashin time. It's a nice day out.


I do however miss the boat rides from when I was a kid. Anyone remember those? Right beside where the train is now and it was like a punt to go out rowing. There was a rake of ducks around too to feed.

So sickened I can't go on the merry go round now though. Ever year it was the first thing I went on (possibly the only thing) and now I'm far too big!

I was out in Tramore on Sunday when the park was open, and they do seem to still have the pedalo boats, but not the other type of boat (the ones that looked like currachs). The rollercoaster tracks seem to be fully constructed as the crane has been taken down.

So the Fun Fair is still definitely there on the 29th August? Someone (don't know how reliable this source is) told me that the Fun Fair has packed up?

bobbylee murphy

Yes it's still definitely still open I was there yday

looksee

It was absolutely in full swing last night, whats happened to the music though, there always used be loud and not very musical music, that added to the atmosphere.

Sully

Amusements will be open until end of August, re-open (some, not all) during the kids break in October and then back in May.

Nicole.

Thank you everyone !!!!!!!!!!!! A friend of mine has organised a bus down to Tramore for the day and she asked me if the Fun Fair would be open and I said it probably would be runnning from past years and she told everyone that I said that the ammusements would still be there for definite......imagine their faces and reaction towards me if they weren't!:pac::pac::pac:
