Coney Beach Porthcawl Chamber of Horrors?

Postby fascinatedbyoldrides » 04 Aug 2011, 19:05

Does anyone know how old this is and what's inside? I'm sure its been there since the 80s but not sure?

Also was there an old ghost train next to it that got demolished? There is one next to it now that looks different to the one I remember from years ago.

Thanks for any info!

I don't know myself but as well as Nick who owns Joyland Books and Dave Page, Phil Gould, a regular contributor to these boards and themagiceye may be able to help if he reads this.

You may have already read his 2 great articles about Welsh parks and rides on themagiceye:

Welsh Wonders (1970s)

More Welsh Wonders (inc Coney Island Porthcawl 1980s)

Please pass through the turnstiles if you are riding again.
