Coney Beach had a reasonable record of safety between its opening in 1920 and its commercial heyday between the 1950s and 1980s, when it often attracted several thousand visitors per week in the summer months.

From 1994 to 2000, Coney Beach was the scene of several serious and, in one case, fatal incidents:

• 1994 - A 14-year-old girl fractured three ribs and injured her lungs when she was thrown 40 feet out of a brand new £300,000 Top Flip ride at the park. Three other people were injured in the incident and were treated for stomach, neck and leg injuries on its first day in service, just hours after launch.[1] The incident occurred only hours after the ride had been tested. The ride was immediately dismantled.
• 1994 - A 9-year-old boy died in an incident on the site's Water Chute, less than six weeks after the aforementioned accident on the Top Flip ride. Poor weather conditions contributed to a gantry falling onto the track, causing several carriages to derail.[2] It was also revealed in the aftermath that there had been an accident on this ride a year prior to this one where three passengers were injured when their boat left the tracks and fell nearly 6 ft, but this had not been reported because it had been caused by drunken passengers deliberately shifting their weight and causing the boat to go off course.
• 1994 - Two months after the accident on the Top Flip ride, and less than two weeks after the fatal incident on the Water Chute, the park again received negative publicity when the 'Blizzard' roller-coaster overshot on its exit run, injuring three passengers and leaving several more severely shaken. Unlike the previous two incidents in 1994, this accident was caused by human error, as the ride attendant was not paying attention and forgot to put the brakes on when the ride was supposed to have stopped. The employee was subsequently dismissed from the park. The Blizzard, in operation since the late 1980s, was eventually withdrawn in 2004 amongst reports that the speed of the roller-coaster comparable with size of the ride was causing many riders to experience shaking to the head.
• 2000 - A 17-year-old girl suffered a fractured skull when a large bolt fell out of the ‘Skymaster’ ride and hit her head as she walked past.[2]
• 2002 - The park suffered a severe blaze, the cause of which was suspicious.[3]
• 2004 - A sex offender who had been ordered to stay away from children by a court, got a job at the theme park just 2 weeks later.[4] When this was reported in the local press, he was immediately dismissed.
• 2006 - Two police officers were injured when several young troublemakers turned aggressive when ejected from the park.[5]
• 2007 - The body of one of several young adults who died during a spate of suicides in the Bridgend area was found in a vacant warehouse at the park.[6]

Many visitors and critics from local and national press complained in the 2000s that the park did not properly maintain or care for its older rides, instead focusing solely on its more new additions, compromising the safety of users. Additionally, the rides ‘Megablitz’ and ‘Nessi’ were regularly reported in the local press to create very sharp impacts on the rider and to be prone to shaking the rider's head rather vigorously throughout the duration of the ride’. However, no serious incidents resulting from maintenance problems on any of the rides occurred since the 'Skymaster' accident in 2000.
