Video Game Arcade Tours - The Grand Pier (Weston-super-Mare, UK) 🇬🇧

Local legend has it: The owner of The Grand Pier burnt the pier down to cash in on insurance money to build a better pier and get a little chunk of extra change in the old back pocket!
Take from that what you will, but here is the new pier. Rebuilt back in 2010.
The only thing that lets this place down is the £1 charge per person to even step on the pier. It's just greed!

An amusement arcade (often referred to as "video arcade" or simply "arcade") is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.
