Welcometomyworld, I get what you’re saying, but (in the most genuine way possible) I don’t quite know what you’re hoping to achieve.

Highlighting one way in which you think they’re vulnerable is fair enough, but I’m sure we could all chip in ways in which we imagine security could be breached. And if we’ve thought of them, I imagine BPB have thought of them, and I’d bet the house that someone who wanted to do something malicious would have thought of them.

As for the comments about terrorism, I don’t think it’d make any difference how trained the staff were, they’re not really an anti-terrorist organisation. Airports are pretty well up to speed on security, but far from invulnerable. You can’t do much about it when someone drives a Jeep through the front door

It’s good to see some attractions doing well, but I think they’re maybe the exceptions.

There’s millions less folk going to Blackpool now, and those that do go are staying for much shorter periods of time. Sadly

For those of you interested by PBB’s maze did you know that the original maze was once situated next to the Derby Racers? A lady on the paybooth there was known to add an extra 5p to the entrance fee..By all accounts she had a price sign all of her own - showing 45p instead of the official 40p - that she would put up when she felt the time was right!

I have never worked at the park but you would be a-mazed by what information people are willing to share with this nurse from St Helens!!

Also this from my website dating back 5 years: The Adrian Fisher Interview - He designed the Chinese Puzzle Maze. It’s a brief one page interview which helped get my website launched back then.

Incorrect.
The BBC you tube channel came about by the BBC having to defend their legal right to maintain copyright, the only reason they upload to that site is to stem the increasing tide of pirated material that is held under their copyright.
its not ok to upload any copyrighted material (in this case BBC output) anyone found doing so will soon find themselves on the recieving end of the BBC legal department. as well as having the offending material removed (eventually)
you may well argue that much BBC content remains unchallenged on youtube, this isnt being ignored, and prosecutions are being sought (which is a lot harder after the offending material is removed)
Adding its "copyrighted to the BBC" without proper clearance and excessive royalty payments paid in advance, is just as illegal as you stealing a car

a launched woodie would be awsome! lots of airtime for sure! on the downside i think the track would get worn very quickly so would get very rough.

I take it planning permission has been approved,the problems Alton have come across with residents is legendary.Was a wooden coaster denied planning a while ago.

The original woodie was withdrawn by the park, I think it was something to do with John Wardley being unhappy with the design from what i’ve heard. I agree that planning permission will be tough with a woodie though as clearly they’re much louder than a good old Steelie (especially when you can fill the track with Sand to dampen any noise) it would also have quite a lot to do with where the layout and route that the coaster would take.

Personally i’d prefer not to get a woodie at Alton especially not a launched one … I dont like the idea of it at all but thats just my own personal speculation and prefference for alton …. I’d like to see a steel beast of some description … something truly remarkable and new.

Whatever it is i’m sure it’s going to put Towers on the map …. what a great way to mark 30 years of being a theme park !!

If my memory serves me right there were remote controlled tanks in there. Probably politically incorrect today, but some were British and some were German and you controlled them over some scenery like roads and bridges e.t.c. They were coin operated and were quite large.

i couldnt help laughing at some of the above comments, bad publicity indeed,
90 percent of that show was staged, as is most "reality" tv. if you look past the obvious it actually reflects pleasure beach in an extremly good light, which is pretty much what the brief was, according to the production notes. job done.
you do realise it was a scripted drama practically in every sense, well the scripts are real enough. as are the direction notes, the public for the most part are just that, the public

Well i’ve only ever done Blackpools Maze once and to be honest although a few times I did end up going round in circles, I didn’t find it too difficult … the whole point of a maze is for it to be a challenge and if it were too easy i’d seriously be having a whinge !! lol

However if i did know the maze well enough then if someone was looking desperate for help or like they were getting really annoyed chances are I would help them but only if they were obviously annoyed or distressed as I wouldn’t want to spoil their fun

Great pics Colin!

We went on it a few years back, it was good fun. Doesn’t half let you see the amount of smog that permanently hangs over London though!

I really like London, but can only take it in small doses. Like Cliff, I just feel that there are altogether too many people charging about as if their lives depended on it. It’s stressful just watching them

The flying carpet at pleasure beach was an original forerunner of the modern miami, the main difference being size and construction. the carpet was hinged on all four corners by four arms that created a similar movement to a miami, but in a vertical plane rather than the horizontal one of a miami, and they were anything but small, few photos exist of this machine, but i know of a few owned by an nfa contributer, ill give him a bell to see if they can be shown here.
the tidal wave had two homes within the pleasure beach. one where the fun house originally stood and then later opposite the revolution before being relocated to southport.

Yeah, there never is an option online. You’d need to book over the phone or in person I guess. Even then, I wouldn’t say it’d be in any way guaranteed. It is usually, as you say, pot luck!

I stayed in a TravelInn once, and due to lack of rooms we got upgraded to a family room with a balcony. But the balcony was locked, I guess because we’d paid normal price

Does the Travelodge even have sea views? I kinda presumed all the rooms would be facing 90 degrees from the sea. Even if you could see down to the sea, isn’t the Sandcastle in your way?!

"Simple answer really"

I would’nt work there…..FULL STOP!!

I enjoy visiting the park and riding the rides. To be a ride operator or even work somewhere else in gthe park watching other folk have loads of fun and ride all day while I’m busy working would depress me personally

It’s each to their own..I guess?

I’m wondering whether they shall re-open the South entrance again?

Also, it’s rather dead around that area. When I walk towards those lockers past the Burger King building - going towards the old South entrance & exit, it’s rather dull

Probably why those lockers don’t get used so much imo.
