The "Freakout" ride at Barry's Amusements

by Roger Donnelly

A popular attraction at Barry's Amusements in Portrush has been closed until further notice.

It's after several families reported what sounded like a "bomb going off" on the 'Freakout' ride.

A piece of metal fell off the ride after two o'clock yesterday afternoon, but no one was injured.

Barry's has launched a full investigation.
