Glad you liked it. Butlins changes so much over the years, I love seeing the vidoes of how it used to be. Also, you videos have been dangerous close to inspiring me to get a Dji Osmo Pocket 3
I used to go from the 70s until 1985. I went on 1999 and it was terrible. Outside pool gone. Monorail gone. Cable cars gone. All the competitions like dancing and fancy dress, talent shows gone. Just a pavilion with a big empty space inside. And an Irish pub that didn't sell Guinness.
I would have loved to see it in the 70s with the ouside pool, monorail and cable cars! I remember Warner and then Haven Holidays having that sort of entertainment in the 90s! I've never tried to buy a Guinness there but I did spot from this year they are offering unlimited drinks packages which doesn't sound like it will end well. 😬😬
I think the signs said summer. I hope its finished in time for your break. I'm guessing they will be able to put it up quite quickly as most of the groundwork looked complete
@@CoolRunnings-wm8cj haha, well if someone comes up to me and says TH-cam then I will know who you are. How long are you going for? ...have you booked your entertainment? ...I dont know what I want to do until I get there so I'm a bit worried if we can leave it for now. We got an email saying center stage won't be open for us.
Ah!! I thought it might have been flood damage. Are the other venues still allowed to stay open late? I remember the big music weekends going into the early hours
that playxperience is gonna skyrocket the cost of a holiday to butlins - have you seen the token prices? you could holiday for a week in the USA for the cost of a day at playxperience lol - keyword? let's say Butlins ?
Eek! I've not seen how much they are but can imagine. Especially with a family group or perhaphs a tipsy group of friends at one of their Big Weekenders I'm interested to see what it'll be like though.
My first visit was 2016 or 2017. It would be great to hear what the park was like at that time. Am I right in thinking the swimming pool used to be in the building near the fun fair / entrance thats now going to be the play experience.
Yes, unfortunately. And the little green area that used to have the deckchair for photo opps. But the deckchair is now over the other side by the sports courts. There is a mini golf in Minehead town near the railway. But i heard a few familys walking round the corner to find the mini golf at Butlins gone
Great informative video. It was interesting to see what Butlins looks like in 2024 as the last time i stayed there was in 1973.

I’m loving the fairground rides, they look amazing!
It's great that they are all free
They are all free and so fun x
It's so unusual for fairground rides to be free. It's such a great part of any Butlins holiday
studio 36 is now back working, they had to work on it as its not temp no more, its staying for good!
Oh good. It's a great venue
Thank you! Great video. Do we know when the Skypark will be complete? We go late June so hopefully they get a move on 😊
I think the signs said summer. I hope its finished in time for your break.
I'm guessing they will be able to put it up quite quickly as most of the groundwork looked complete
We are going late June too!! 🙂
@@soyunperderdor7246 hopefully it will be completed by then. Either way June sound like a great time to visit as the weather should be nice 😊 🏖️⛱️
@@soyunperderdor7246 cool, hope to see you there ☺️

40 years since I was there. 1984.
Blimey it must have changed a lot since then
Butlins! 😊
😊😊
is bowling free there?
I don't think so. I think they offer it as an add on
the bar was Jakes that was open till 2am ( they lost the licence to run it)
Ah!! I thought it might have been flood damage. Are the other venues still allowed to stay open late? I remember the big music weekends going into the early hours
I’m off there next month
😊 Hope you have a great time 😊

@@mariaud999 Thank you 😊😊
@@mariaud999 It's a great place both Butlins itself and the local area made for holidays.
Butlins!

I worked here as a waiter in 1969, anyone from that time here?
My first visit was 2016 or 2017.
It would be great to hear what the park was like at that time. Am I right in thinking the swimming pool used to be in the building near the fun fair / entrance thats now going to be the play experience.
My first visit was in 1978 loved the monorail and cable cars
@@karenmulligan5418 I'd have loved to see those
4:09 it’s called jaks
Ah YES! 😊 Hopefully they will bring it back. It was great for live music on their big weekender breaks
Has the golf completely gone?!
Yes, unfortunately. And the little green area that used to have the deckchair for photo opps. But the deckchair is now over the other side by the sports courts.
There is a mini golf in Minehead town near the railway. But i heard a few familys walking round the corner to find the mini golf at Butlins gone
Oh what a shame!
Thank you for reply x
