💨 Abstract
After 107 years, Coney Beach Amusement Park in Portcawl is set to close, marking the end of an era. The park's rides and traditional attractions will make way for a 1,100-home development and modern shops. Owners cited diminishing visitor numbers and a fatal accident as reasons for the closure. Locals express sadness and note the park's significant role in the town's identity and local economy.
