Blackgang Chine (Isle of Wight) Vlog 8th August 2020
Join us as we head over to the beautiful Isle of Wight for the very first time to experience some it’s attractions including Blackgang Chine the UK’s oldest theme park
We set off early morning from Portsmouth on a Wightlink ferry which was a fantastic experience on its own and then drove to a pier to see an old train that was used on the London Underground before heading to Blackgang Chine on the south coast of the island
Blackgang Chine is now 177yrs old making it the oldest theme park in the UK, the park is very unique only having 3 rides but it’s the unusual walkthroughs that are the highlight of the park
We also drove to the seaside town of Shanklin to bag another +1 coaster credit at the very small Pirates Cove Fun Park......the next vlog includes our visit to The Needles Landmark Attraction and our journey back on the Wightlink ferry
Vlog was filmed in HD 1080p 60fps using a GoPro Hero 6 Black with official accessories

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. I was born and brought up on the Island in the 1960's and 70's - going to Blackgang Chine was a really big treat, especially after dark. Glad to see some of the attractions are still there like the Crooked House and maze. We used to call it the most themeless theme park in the country - so random.
I was in isle of Wight on exactly the day this video was made.. 😁
i'm glad you finally made it , nice little parks with 2 good little coasters it won't be long till you've done every uk park keep um coming Andy and thanks for being different .

Yeah not many left now and we have another new park planned for this Saturday 👍🏻👍🏻
Live on the island , and always a pleasure going to black gang 👌
Awsome place love the nursery rhyme themes awsome ships amazing views dinosaurs brill cowboy town Charlotte being pushed bless her shes awsome
Thank you. This brings back memories of a holiday my family had probably fifty?years ago. I don't remember much other than the wild west train. A wonderful stroll down memory lane. Weird place, somehow lost in time but magical to a young child or those still young at heart.
Thanks for your time and vlog loved it and love you guys 👊🏻

That was an unexpectedly fun vlog. You and Martin undersold it. The coaster was good but all of the different lands were great. Loved the asthmatic donkey.
Amazing 😊👌
Never been Isle of Wight , so many amazing places to see in the uk. Nice vlog

I’ve been going to blackgang since I was very young massive part of my childhood we also know the family very well thank you so much or covering this wonderful park 💙✌🏻
Great vlog.
I remember going to blackgang chine as a kid.loved to see how much it has changed.loved to see the dinosaurs there.
Great vlog again Andy. Please do more longer vlogs. Awesome
Great vlog Andy
Best views from a coaster ever Andy
We love your videos and your enthusiasm! You visit the sort of places we love to frequent.. Maybe see you on our travels one day! 😀
Loved this video. I was a kid back in the 70s every yr went 2 blackgang chine. Every yr bit more gone in the sea such a shame. They moved it over more and got new stuff there aswel as some original stuff that been saved or have brought things that gone back in updated it for the kids today. We had fibre glass dinosaurs that could climb on back then and no rides like now. The original what I can see is the priest, elves in the tree playing music, chimney pots, and nursery land. I Know the water garden is going in the sea last few yrs. Loads have gone thru the yrs it also use 2 b lit up in evenings I don’t know if they still do that. My favourite was the crooked house, cowboy land and the dragon over the gate. Got lovely childhood memories at blackgang chine.
Brilliant again andy. I may just have to go to the isle of wight looks like there is loads to do there.👍

Quite late comment but black gang chime hasn’t lost a any attractions due to the coastal erosion what the company did is they bought a big patch of land then every few years they move everything back so they don’t lose anything
Isle of Wight is beautiful, a lot of history at Blackgang Chine but you do need to do Robin Hill next time!

Blackgang Chine a brilliant Theme Park, you said not a lot of people have heard of this park! If that was the case then it would of closed in less than a year. lol + yea i love Needles + Robin Hill. I'm from Kent, i know you posted this a long time ago now but still. lol + you said a small park- 88 acres is not small, where as Phantasialand is. + how did you not know there was all of that in there, you even spoke about them on the park map at the start. lol

Nice one Andy, I went there in 75 and 86 , crazy how much cliff had fallen into the sea. Sure looks different since I was last there, I remember the maze which my dad got lost in , it's definitely a night time park I remember.
Great vlog Mr Andy and I do love it when Charlotte and Martin mess a round. A vlog is a vlog and I loved it and I will be paying a visit to these places in the future.
We've been a number of times and enjoyed it everytime

Born and bred on the Island and wouldn't live anywhere else. Been to the Chine so many times (I'm 52) and still enjoy it now with nieces and nephews and have seen so many changes over the years because of the cliff falls etc.. Glad you came over to the Island and it's nice to see someone not moaning about the ferry prices or the £20 quid to get into Blackgang Chine or that there's nothing to do on the Island. Great first Vlog, looking forward to next one!
