The end of an era as Barry’s Amusements in Portrush up for sale

Natasha Shane: I blame Barry’s Big Dipper for not preparing me for life on a real roller coaster. Hope someone snaps it up and it carries on making fun memories for generations to come.

Angela Proud: I still remember that experience.

Caroline Hamilton: The end of an era.

Louise Lawless: Noooo! This place is a family tradition.

Samantha Hayes: Love was found, hearts were made. As a kid, you felt like it was the best place on earth. True end of an era.

Frances Kennedy: So sad. Many happy hours spent there. Let’s hope someone will buy it and keep it going, otherwise the shops and other places will close.

Declan Loughlin: To think that people expect everything to stay the same forever. That’s partand-parcel why we never move on.

Dee Bruno Brennan: Declan Loughlin, you must be fun at parties.

Declan Loughlin: Dee Bruno Brennan, people stopped inviting me to parties because they didn’t want to hear the earth-shattering truth that they’re living in a virtual reality and everything they’ve ever thought they knew was an illusion.

Marie Dunseath: Hopefully, the new owners will make it bigger and better.

Ciaran Anderson: Some memories in that place.

Niamh Cead: Love Barry’s, but do think it could do with a revamp.

Shane Hamilton: Be interesting to see what becomes of it now.

Patrick Mullan: Every summer for years when I was younger.

Rab Hamilton: Knock it down and build some lovely sea-view apartments.

Siobhan Keery: Oh, dear.

Nick Doherty: Clare, could I have a lend?

Nick McCay: That’s Brexit for you.
