    I can not believe there is inside footage of this wonderful place. It was amazing as a kid, I would be in there for hours. Thank you for posting.

      Going to the Funhouse where you had to have stockingfeet was my favourite amusement in Blackpool. It's such a shame that it was destroyed either accidentally or deliberately years ago, and not rebuilt. Valhalla water ride was built on the site by 2000.

    Oh my word. thank you for uploading this. i echo what so many others have already said but as a kid, The Funhouse was just a marvelous experience and deeply etched memories into the fabric of our childhoods! I went sometime around 1988 and that was back in the days when we'd get a coach with the PTA on a school night, see the illuminations and finish in the pleasurebeach... Noahs Ark also missed!!! Thanks so much.

    Friction burns from the slides. Grandma lived in Blackpool very sad it burned down.

    Knew I hadnt dreamt this place existed! I got stuck in that tunnel when I was about 4 or 5 and ended up with burnt ankles! One of my earliest memories.

    Blimey it would never be allowed now. Those hanging barrels could knock you unconscious if you got your timing wrong! Brilliant valuable footage.

    What a magical place it was. Unlike the rides on the main Pleasure Beach you could stay in there for hours, all day if you wanted. Last went in September '91 with my own kids just a few months before the fire. They loved it too. Wonderful, wonderful memories.

    Footage from inside the Funhouse seems to be very hard to find. Spent many hours in here on holidays in the late 80s and was mortified when it burned down. Thanks for sharing. You have coloured in some forgotten memories of mine :-)

    Happy days, I'm 56 now and went to this funhouse every weekend in the summer back then. The orange squash was 12p. It was very convenient that the laughing clown outside was in for repair when the fire happened, just saying

    used to love going here. Best memory was what we called the mixing bowl, where you had to see how long you could sit on the green bit in the middle before flying off

    I'd luv to go on that fun house. But It's sadly demolished in the 90's. :( Plus I haven't been Blackpool in my life until summer 2008. August 2008 was my 1st trip to Blackpool. When I just turned 19. :)

    For some reason this place just popped into my head and I was telling my wife about it, she didnt believe me when I told her it was a death trap! 😂 Brilliant footage, brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. ❤ BPL

    Ahh sweet memories, back in the early mid sixties I was a part of the south shore gang. In the summer I was there every weekend. The laughing clown was really creepy. Anyone remember Angelo who had the little cafeteria in there?

    What year was, I'm guessing mid-80s ? (The Madonna song playing in the background is a clue.)

    • @thomaschristopher1513

      That's "Into the Groove", so it's 1984 at the earliest
