Chrissie Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 My Boyfriend is Irish and while I was over visiting him, we randomly stumbled across this little amuesement park at the beach in County Galway. I apologise for the kind of smudgy mark but my camera got damaged on the plane We Then Went to the arcade. Where I won The Jackpot on Deal or No Deal! 100 Tickets!! Wooop!! Thanks for Reading The Golf too was pretty ghetto. These rocks were the obsticles you had to get passed. But maybe we are spoiled disney golfers. We decied to play some mini golf. We got charged the kids prices as well. Always a bonus when your in your 20s Just as we were leaving, we spotted a bucking bronco!! Although, these kids weren't alowed on it. There was also a powered train!! Lets all ride Disney's Bus (Disney Pointing Ex Castmember Not Included) With...Erm... Tweety Pie?? Shamu? Is That You??? They also had some arcade like games. Mostly un-manned. Closed!! No Sad and Pathetic-ness for me today. Although, If It had been open, I probably would have got dumped! Lol!! Waltzers - Why is it that all ghetto rides are themed to half naked painted people?? Dodgems!! Some other "attractions" around the park So this was our view for about 20 mins or so, as they only let one car round at a time and there was about 7 in front of us! OMG! Hidden Mickey!!! You do actually get a nice view of the beach. Kinda reminds me of blackpool, but less tacky! Lift Hill. Yup. TPR Meet Simon. He really likes to be dragged on random 4 Euro rollercoasters. Honest. It was a really really really really tame spinning mouse! I think it only spun around once. Quite possibly Elissa friendly! The "Signature Ride" Haha! Here we are at leisureland Galway!
coasterdude5 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Nice trip report, Chrissie. The place does have a ghetto quality about it!
Hang And Bang Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 That Mega Dance thing with the airbrushed Britney Spears is priceless! "PARTY TIME!"
Capitalize Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It could've been worse, at least they had the spinning mouse, I always enjoyed those at least a bit.
Erik Johnson Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Heh, nice trip report. Its good to see Ghetto fairs in other countries as well.
Chrissie Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 It could've been worse, at least they had the spinning mouse, I always enjoyed those at least a bit. I know! But it was actually the worst spinning mouse ever. It spun round once and really slowly...
Team Thriller Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 That Deal or No Deal game sounds fun. I always wanted something like that. Hope you had a nice time. --James
Bruno Lancetti Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Oh yeah, the spinning coaster is a Twister Coaster made by Zamperla and sold last year!!!
gnewton34 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 ^I noticed that too. I was like is that her boobs on the wrong side or is it backfat? I love the Deal or No Deal game they have at the Gatti-Town I used to go to.
printersdevil78 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 ^^I was trying to figure that out at first too. Apparently the back of her shirt and the front of her shirt are held together with spaghetti straps on the side, and the light is casting a slight shadow where the straps meet with the back of the shirt, causing the appearance of a bulge where in fact none exists. Still, not exactly, um... yeah.
Noxegon Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hey now, Leisureland is the closest thing this country has to a proper amusement park Looks like the rides haven't changed much since last year when I visited. Relief really that I don't need to go back... http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2007llfw/index.htm
Kennyweird Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Looks like Ireland won't be on TPR's list of places to visit for quite some time. Oh well, thanks for sharing this.

Relief really that I don't need to go back... http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2007llfw/index.htm Hehehe! I didn't even know it was there... Im really surprised there isnt a small theme park in Ireland.Although, I did hear that there is a rollercoaster in Meath?
Noxegon Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 There is a Big Apple in Funtasia in Bettystown. Ireland's biggest coaster - and in fact the only adult coaster that isn't a Spinning Mouse - is the Shockwave, a travelling Schwarzkopf Looping Star. http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2007fund/shockwave5.htm
