Coral Island Family Arcade — Attraction in Great Britain

I went on a family day to blackpool on Saturday with my partner and my young daughter's aged 11 and 15 my 11 year old daughter wanted to use the toilets in coral island so I waited outside the toilets waiting and then a male walked in the toilets started opening the cuebicals my daughter was upset and scared I confronted this male and said what the he'll do you think your playing at in there I was let with attitude saying I'm a cleaner I'm aloud in hear the women washing there hands wasent happy him being in there they came up to me and thanked me saying it's wrong they allow male staff in the toilets around young girls it's effected my daughter's and now there scared to use public toilets in fear of a male walking in this effected us to the point we went home 60 pound wasted on trains it's ruined are day and time in Blackpool I asked to see a manager as I told a member of staff even he said its wrong and will tell the manager and for me to make a complaint today as there busy over weekend I demanded to see a manager as my daughter's was upset but was told to contact coral today how is this acceptable we have been coming to Carol island for years and now it's ruined how can a male be in a girls toilet then when confronted he had attitude saying he was aloud in there it's fine well if my daughter's cubbical was pushed open like he was doing chatting he was checking if toilet roll was empty I'd of gone prison there and then fact I'm fueming I've emailed coral island this morning but they haven't got back to me if I get no response a audit will be done at coral island to warn all parents with young daughter's to keep away as they think it's acceptable to let male staff in there while our children use the toilet makes me think do they send women staff in male toilets while grown men stand at the urine part with there penis out don't think they would out of respect for there female staff where my daughter's respect and privacy I would like this changed to women staff cleaning the women's toilets and male staff cleans the male toilets it's common sence and they don't even have the decency to give me a response I've sent two emails still nothing but if you write a good review the owner replys thanking you for a nice review what about the people they have let down do we not count not happy is a understatement you would think they would try put things write I'll be over again soon to get answers on film see what the management have to say about the...

Visited blackpool for two days and spent about 2.5 hours each day in Coral Island, which is hugely nostalgic for me, rode the Ghost Train 3 times, absolutely love that ride though some of the animatronics weren't currently working. Had many drinks in The Buccaneer (in the 18+ area) All the staff were lovely but one particular staff member on the bar (20 year old lady) was so sweet and friendly and made us feel right at home, the veggie burger was really good also! Had a little adult gamble while i was there 😂. All the staff in the main arcade are really approachable, friendly and so hard working, and i imagine it's not the easiest to keep a good attitude within the chaos of the venue, but super props to them. Went on the Pirate Flyer for the very first time which i thought just had views of the arcade but actually has some themed tunnels. Spent a good amount of time on the coin pushers until my hand smelt of 2 pences. This place is just so much fun. Only downside is i went overboard on the claw machines spent maybe £60 and didn't win a single plushie! And i am super good, i have a commercial machine at home, i spent probably £35 of this on the same machine continuously with no luck, the payout ratio must be pretty terrible honestly or i picked a poorly programmed machine. Previously have never had any issues leaving with a prize. That aside, had a great time, including food, drinks and arcades (not counting my adult gamble) spent maybe £250 over two evenings and had an absolute blast. The spirits are a little expensive, but not outrageous, and i believe the venue pays staff quite well/along with high operating costs so to be expected. Coral Island is the most immersive arcade in Blackpool (probably the UK) and well worth a...

I come to Blackpool at least a couple times every Yr and Coral Island is always improving its range of arcade games, that's all this review is about, sadly, I see I less love from their end, they have added a 3 car Outrun 2 SP machine which is a great machine, but it's clear no one at this arcade knows what they're doing, none are linked, although all three are together, the left and right machines have no sound coming out of them, but are English text on screen, the centre machine has sound but is Japanese text on screen, the brake is a bit dodgy on some of the seats meaning you can't drift.

Onto Time Crisis 5, the left gun isn't working properly, it fires but it doesn't hit anywhere on screen, leaving the 2 player experience null and void. Right gun works fine if you wanted to play single player.

Now, my favourite machine in Coral Island and yup, they've gone and ruined it! Cruis n Blast. They've moved a lot of arcade machines around this back end of the Yr and Blast is one of them, they're still next to each other but hey, now they're unlinked, so no more 2 player. What a disappointment. 1 player is still fine, but the game comes alive in 2 player.

They've done well with their selection of games but Coral Island could still be so much more, they need a selection of retro machines and they STILL have not even 1 single fighting game. Over half the place is gambling machines and everytime I walk through its always empty, they need to downsize this part and add more arcades. There's so many games they could add, if they don't start people will start going to dedicated places where people care about the machines in there, arcade places are on the rise again in the UK hope Coral...
