All the “Roundabouts” titles have now been withdrawn. Whilst ideally suited to 3 hour video tapes, we have deemed them no longer suitable for the DVD format.
The decision means that there are over 50 hours of footage idle, which will be re-edited with chapters and menus to approx. one hour format with higher quality images.
- UK FUNFAIRS Vol.11 – NORTH WALES ( 48 minutes) DVD £10 only
- TIR PRINCE Raceway at TOWYN was visited by our camera in 2001, and throughout the season is a huge draw for the huge caravan population nearby who have the choice of park and travelling amusement rides. LLANDUDNO’S Victorian Weekend never fails to attract huge numbers of visitors. It’s main streets are closed to all traffic and taken over by fairground rides for three days. Sadly, there is a higher proportion of modern rides these days, but there still remains a sizeable attendance of traditional amusements, all contributing to this resort’s popular and unique May Bank Holiday event in 2010.

A totally different atmosphere was found at nearby BICESTER in 1992 with a neat little fair presented by the Hatwell family. WITNEY FEAST in 1999 saw Wilson’s Chaos ride here for the first time. Others included Wallis’s Topspin, Mellors’ Crazy Shake, the unique “Roller” and Manning’s Superstar rides.
