I do remember visiting the main street in Weston and out of all of them I must admit Penny Falls was by far the worst.
I forget the name of the one nearest the seafront, next door to Olympia but generally found those 2 very tidy and worth going in and having a punt.
However cross the road to Penny Falls and it is a completely different atmosphere, shame really as I would have thought a big company like JNC
would have given a s**t, but not the case.
I can't believe they still have that Duff Beer Guide in there, I'm going back 4/5 years and half the bulbs were gone then!
Maybe that's why they have all gone now according to Vectra, taken that long for them all to go pop!
I won't be visiting this place again, once was enough for me!

hi im living about 11 miles from Porthcawl... (Port Talbot) I have to admit its going down hill year by year. All the machines there are very old and dated they are normally flogging the very tacky ones at 25-30 quid each. None of them have been looked after they are all stinking. A bit of polish goes a long way lol. Did you just stay around the fair? or did you go into Treco bay? they have a biggish arcade there to machines are about the same.... only tidy one(s) are in the club house more upto date ones, £70 jackpot. With regards to the fair, there has been many many accidents there wouldn't trust any of the rides after seeing one fail when visiting a few years back.

I haven't been near the rides at Coney beach since Nine year old Timothy Morgan was almost decapitated on the water chute back in 1994.
Sadly he died at the scene, as have many more over the years.
By the way "iamlee", I'm just up the road from you in Merthyr.

No machines, just play the Emus.
Fruit Emu has been my life saver after many years of addictive gambling started by playing an old, but familiar machine called "Super Nudge Gambler" back in the late 70s, in the arcade now known as "Jungle Jims" Trecco Bay. little did I know back then, how much it would cost me over the years, and not just money, a relationship, two jobs, and it almost cost me my life due to a breakdown from depression.
However, that was over 28 years ago, now I have a job, a wife, two grown up kids and a wonderful grandson, happy days.
I still play the fruities, BUT ONLY ON EMULATORS!!!

In Blackpool this week the oldest machines I've seen is a simpsons and Corry machine, Corel Island is shocking broke machines some with cracked glass the staff running around constantly fixing machines hell even the change machines don't work there it's awfull and full of chavs and weirdos running bout bags full of tickets, chavs checking cash trays and looking round soon as 2p drops along with the evil looks from grannies when the kids when 10p not to mention the 'pros' who walk round checking which 2p pusher is the best lol
Least the sun is out for now
(And the B&B we are in are channel 4 4 in a bed winners) lol
Coral Island is just designed for passing trade.
As long as they get the people in,spending there hard earned cash-nothing else matters.
Now the heat has gone Blackpool is yet again a ghost town!!
