Holidaymakers affected will be contacted but it leaves customer plans for Christmas break in disarray

I'm amazed Pontins are still in business at all considering most people liken their stays there to being in some sort of prison camp.

It certainly is, especially given that they’re owned by Britannia!

I paid the Prestatyn site a quick visit this morning and was caught by the world’s angriest man a few minutes after getting in. In all honesty it wasn’t quite the warm welcome you’d normally expect from a blue coat.

I only managed to see the play area, but there looks to be a lot of potential here.

These places were shit when they were open!

Leave 'em for the exploring with arse like a bag of golf balls lot

Doing the rounds on facebook now this. What time is the tour bus pickup 😬

The usual Facebook monkeys are all over these now, predictably. Personally I don't see the attraction in something like this that has been closed a matter of hours.

Middleton Towers was a really good mooch back in the day. I wonder if this has any dated 60s bits or is it just tired modern crap?

I don’t think it has had any updates since it opened, from what I’ve seen the closure is linked to this RAC concrete stuff.

Yeah I’ve seen, seems I made the mistake of going early morning and not at night 😂

For me it’s more around how it fell from grace, when you see it in Holiday on the Busses it looks pristine and busy, and in a matter of 30 years Britannia have ran it into the ground.

Well it has only been closed less than a week it's not like it's going to look like Denbigh after a few days. You may as well take photos of one that is still open as it'll look exactly the same...

if it's like the Britannia hotels i've stayed at, then definitely give it a miss,.
