Hi,

Anyone know when funderland is opening??

Anyone been yet - whats it like?

Cheers,
Tom

Berty

It is open tomorrow afaik.

I am glad to see they have put down a gradient of 504 around the site because prior to this(when they were setting up) it was pure mud.

I passed another two trucks in Mitchelstown this morning heading in the Limerick direction with two more rides.

Baldie

Yep, starts tomorrow.

What's gradient 504??

shqipshume

Is it permanently going to be there?


Why we dont have permanent ones in Ireland Barr wexford is beyond me.

It's stone.
Technically speaking it's clause 804.
It's stone about 2" diamater down to dust. ANgular so it binds together when compacted.

I'd be nervous about those rides until they've been used ofr a few days.

I can't begin to imagine the amount of horrible scum who will infest this.

krudler

Wouldnt go near that place, last year at least it was by Storm so you could park somewhere relatively safe, no way in hell I'm leaving my car anywhere near that scummer magnet

Mrmoe

Living just a minute away from it and I'm not looking forward to some of the scum its going to bring into the area.:mad:

Obviously not.... Do you think that people actually work in their jobs??:p

zuroph

there was a queue of about 100 people outside at 4pm today, and the park was open. there was still guys digging and steamrolling stuff inside, so maybe more to come. yeah it'll be full of scum, but its got a bungee rocket, which is a must-do.

cyberspi

where is it on this year?

zuroph

groody link road, opposite the student apartments.

Chong

Passed by it at 8pm it was crawling in every sort of scumbag possible.

irishvamp90

heard the caseys were out in force ther friday night,pushing onto rides,acting aggressive

Baldie

They were in Kilkee in Sunday (along with every other scumbag possible)... No trouble (from what I saw) though...

Flaccus

Besides the presence of the Casey's, is it really full of scum or are people assuming anyone with a hoody qualifies ?

irishvamp90

have they houses or mobile homes down there?not bad for people on the dole...

Kilkee or Funderland??

The garden shed at the back of my house was broken into over the weekend. A lawn mower and strimmer that were two weeks old were taken. The house a couple of down down was broken into too but I do not know what was taken. I don't think this is a coincidence that this occurred the same weekend that Funderland was up and running.

it may be due to it being a bank Holiday weekend moreso than funderland being open.

Flawed logic in my opinion.

Sur wasn't the Volvo Ocean race on in Galway this weekend also. Is it just a coincidence that you shed was broken into on the same weekend as the Volvo Ocean Race??

Good God I know that!!! Its called sarcasm!!
I decided to use sarcasm as I honestly think that the logic used linking a shed breakin to funderland is as ridiculas as linking a shed breakin to the Volvo race in Galway.

How many sheds and houses are broken into week after week in Limerick. Just because funderland is in town doesn't mean that these scumbags just appear out of the woodwork for that period only. They are always always around and I cannot actually believe that they woke up one morning and decided to go to funderland and because funderland is in town they thought it would be a great idea to break into a shed!!!

It was a bank holiday weekend......... breakins always increase during these periods

zuroph

ya, the scumbags arent WORKING for funderland. they've always been here.

I know the scumbags don't work for Funderland. Under a normal bank holiday weekend there would never be such a concentration of scumbags within a few hundred yards of where I live. On this weekend because of Funderland there were an awful lot in the area.

OK - lets get off the namecalling topic - I went last Sunday with my girls - they had a great time - not waiting in queue's for rides - no improper conduct - the only problem i had was my purse wasn't deep enough or full enough - dear God it's an expensive couple of hours entertainment... :eek:

That it is alright....

Any recommendations?

LB6

lol ur best asking them - I kept my feet firmly on the ground! - They had fun on the jungle river - oohhh 3 times (bring change of clothes lol) /the avalanche/that yoke that looks like an octopus/ bumpers and that house thing that they walked around.... I kept them out of that ball cage that launches ppl up into the air and the pendulum - I have my limits as to what I'll put them through lmao, there were also a few stalls as well - yep money - all the rides were about 2.50 pp and it all adds up - not to mention the food that's out there....oh btw - feed them after the rides not before - (seeing ppl regurgitating their food wasn't a good part of the entertainment ;-) enjoy it!

RVN10

I wouldn't go near that place with a ten foot barge pole(who's got a barge pole) but seriously I know someone who went on that jungle river and woke up the next morning because that stupid ride fooked up his back .

Went with one of my lads and we had a laugh. It was pricy to go on all the rides but the water ride is a good way to cool down!

We went on friday.
Everyone was respectful of each other and no hint of trouble. Reading this thread beforehand had me thinking we might need to be cautious but it was fine.
It was fun.
A security guard there said that it would be there until the 14th or 17th; don't remember which; Just mentioning that because I couldn't find the closing dates anywhere when I looked.

zuroph

Went sunday, and had a great time, no hint of any trouble, and all families, so the more extreme rides had no queues whatsoever.
The bungee ball obvious highlight, but the ride just inside the gate on the right is scary stuff too, especially when ur hanging upside down and praying the shoulder bars dont give way.
Heard from someone it was the last weekend, glad to hear its not, will definitely go again.
