Ye, ohh the memories, I was lucky enough to live about 3 miles away as a chisler, used to walk the tracks up a couple of times a week during the summer break with the lads and act the maggot all day. Swimming pool, boats, that antigravity thing(big round wheel that started on its back and went up on its side), EVEN THE TRAIN

good aul times

Mosney was an awful sh1t hole. A few friends of mine had summer jobs there when we were in school, oh the tales they have. Syringes in beds, scraping green mould off cuts of meat...mmm.

What a terrible experience, those chalets were bad enough for a week but for longer - no way.......

I heard it is terrible down there for the refugees. The food is brutal - think Jamies School dinners type of thing.

EamonnKeane · 21-03-2005 07:51PM

I went there a few times for the Community Games. I remember roaches in the bath and some weird brown stuff in the corner of one room. But it also had the Kosy Kitchen, and Funtropica, the big blue slide, the G-Force yellow cage thing, the Satellite and the bumpers. And the swan boats on the lake.

Enii · 21-03-2005 08:11PM

I don't think they operate any of the rides anymore, i think there is only an indoor football pitch in operation.

jazoo · 21-03-2005 08:21PM

was there once on holiday, and me and my brothers and were out on the lake and this guy with his 2 sisters stood up in the boat and starting rocking the boat and shouting "Its a huge storm" " We may get turned over" etc etc The women were screaming like mad things. It was hillarious.

The same day i was on the go karts and i got lapped by the leader, i got pissed off, so floord it and tried to unlap myself but didnt see the finish flag or the white gate across the track until the last second, had to made a sharp turn for the pits but was going so fast i couldnt stop so i ended up hitting the guy who lapped me so hard while he was getting out,his car ended up out on the track again. I made a quick exit of out there after that.

The whole place must be weird to be in. I mean an old army barracks that was changed into a theme park in the 50's on a shoestring budget. This has now been turned into a refugee centre. I'd love to go see what they have done with the place. What did they do with the main village part? What's the ballroom used for? The massive pool? All the pool tables? The cinema?

Are they just there garhering dust or have they been demolished?

eth0_ · 22-03-2005 12:11AM

they're still there, just locked up.

Where did the Community Games go to?

wheres me jumpa · 22-03-2005 12:31AM

true story....

you remember in the pool, they had windows and you could see into dan lowrys bar and hte shop?? well i knew my parents and others were in dan lowrys bar so i dived into the people and started waving........

my f***ing togs came off!!!!!!!!

bluto · 22-03-2005 09:43AM

Was Dan Lowry ever a real person and did it have anything to do with dan lowrys in cork

flyz · 22-03-2005 09:57AM

Ah the memories

We went there for 16 years without fail.

How many people remember the swimming pool before they converted it to Funtropica!

wheres me jumpa · 22-03-2005 07:59PM

what was funtropica?? all ican remember is the windows, the big inflatable slide and the gragon slide which i wasnt allowed on!

i rem some guy did a poo in the pool once and we all had to get out....they then blew their whistles expecting us to go back in!!

The whole pool was called Funtropica , before that it was just a big swimming pool. Used to give swimming lessons every evening. Then the year I was finally old enough to go for swimming lessons they'd changed the whole pool and no more swimming lessons

Very distressing at the time!

Red Alert · 23-03-2005 03:04PM

Are the pools even full anymore? It would be a great little business venture "Return to Mosney", for all those folks like me who went there real often from school!

spooky donkey · 23-03-2005 03:09PM

Pity the place isgone i enjoyed it even though it was a kip. I thought the big pool was far better that that funtropic rubbish!

Ye funtropica was the beginging of the end, the pool was much better plain and simple, I even went as far as using the outside pool instead.. balls shrinkatthethought
