Was walking around the docks this morning and looks like Perks will have a bit of competition this year. Lots of rides and stuff have landed in the place where the ocean race village/tanks were. Appears to have a slingshot bungee thing which might give a good view over town. Early days yet. Wouldn't like to have an apartment near it though. Oh i see advertiser beside me here... May 19th - 29th.
Interesting pricing 5 hours unlimited rides for 19.95......5-10pm . i have a feeling it would be a long 5 hours though. Great for kids obviously 12.95

Madame Razz

It's like a mini Funderland; seeing as it's run by Birds.

They have been in the business a long time and usually do things well so it should be promising(or as promising as amusements can be)

Looking forward to dragging himself there and reliving my youth:D

Passed that way today, good for kids & big kids too...I was on a few of the roller coasters in Alton Towers a few years ago. Scared the bejesus out of me

Great to see them fill that spot even if only for a few months.

Well that won't be good. When is it opening? They might as well remove themselves straight away and the sun will come out again once its gone.

Missed that part. Wonder would they make a profit.

That area needs to be developed into a park or something, I don't think a funfair is the solution tbh, its a bit too tacky for the area. The one in Salthill is fine though as it suits the area along by the beach

It is privately held land. Not likely.

Good to see something going into the space!
This was it yesterday evening, I'll get another pic of it in the morning.

I know, doesn't it have something to do with Gerry Barrett, It was wishful thinking on my behalf though, its a perfect spot for a park and I think building something in that spot would overcrowd the area. I would actually prefer it to stay the way it is and be used as an area for events. I can only assume it will not be built on until at least after the Volvo Ocean Race Galway Part 2.

The wheel is up!

Humbug.

Noes... the day I leave Galway they put a bloody funfair in town! :mad:

Hi,

Has anyone been to it tonight, Good/Bad?

How much is a ride if you have no wristband?

Was it busy, did you have to wait long to get on one?

Cheers

"There were also women with white wrist bands. They were reserved for board members and the very best sales reps."

Went past there at 4pm, good few queuing to get in. Looks like a very good set-up and location that'll make them a few pound. Makes me wish I was 12 again!

Me and Redhairedguy are going to hit the place tomorrow evening with some of the ever-awesome Canadians we met at the beers last Saturday.

Hahaha... That's me there sitting on his own with the black hat in the first picture and without my hat and my hair down in the second.

Also, notice the guy in green morphsuit. That's a friend of mine. They gave him so much guff for wearing it around.

I actually saw ye there yesterday but was feeling way too queasy to go over and talk - it was just a bad idea going from the High Drop thing to the upside down thing to the spinning wall thing to do walzers.

Bleugh.

Arra now... A bit of shouting across the fairground wouldn't have gone astray either.

Was up on the Ferris Wheel twice on Thursday night, really quite wonderful to see Galway from that height albeit not the greatest spot to be viewing from.

I think it's safe to say that if I had opened my mouth, all that would've come out was vomit.
