🎡🎆 A Bittersweet Goodbye to Coney Beach 🎆🎡
This Saturday marks the end of an era as Porthcawl’s beloved Coney Beach Amusement Park is set to close its gates for the last time. Join the community for a spectacular seaside firework display as we bid farewell to over a century of fun and memories. 🌊✨
Since its announcement in January, the park’s closure has weighed heavily on locals and visitors alike. The iconic spot is making way for a new development featuring 1,100 homes, shops, cafes, restaurants, and leisure attractions. But before the new chapter begins, we celebrate what’s been a historic ride. 🎢🏖️
Beloved figures like Steve from American Donuts, who has been a fixture at the park since 1967, will be saying their goodbyes. Although ready for his next adventure, he shares the sentiment of many: “I’m gutted but grateful for all the memories.” 🍩❤️
Longtime seafood vendor, Dave Jones, is pondering his future ventures with thoughts of a quaint cockle bike along the beach. 🍤🚴
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially to a place filled with cherished moments. One regular poignantly noted: “Years of memories… Porthcawl will never be the same.”
Join us at Coney Beach this Saturday from 1pm-9pm for two wristband sessions, and let’s make the last day one to remember with fireworks lighting up the night sky. 🌟🎇
Catch those last rides and vibes, share your love for Coney Beach, and let’s wave a heartfelt goodbye together. 💔🎠
