November 21st, 2008

AT the start of 2005, around 48,000 condominiums were proposed, planned or were undergoing construction in the Miami-Dade metro area alone, and this is apart from the thousands of existing units. Today, many Americans as well as foreigners are investing in condos as a second home. Although Latin Americans are known for preferring to buy condos in this predominantly Hispanic city, the influx of more Europeans lured by the strong Euro, has greatly improved the fortunes of the real estate sector here.

A flaw in PBB security

Author: graham618

Posted: 21.11.2008, 03:0

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 Smile

Alot of this topic talks a bout the decline of Blackpool.

Indeed things are not as they used to be.

But Blackpool Gazzet took the time(2 weeks ago) to speak to owners and managers of the Sandcastle,sealife,waxworks,tower,piers,zoo etc…..
All have enjoyed a good season with increased visitors in spite of poor weather.
It was only the Pleasure Beach that stated there numbers had fallen.


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 Sad

You can be selfish in the Maze, or…

Author: Gary

Posted: Today - 07:41 pm

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!! Smile

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.

Does anyone remember the PBB tv documentory series??/

A message to anybody who has the series

You can upload it to youtube and it does not break copyright law because you are not selling it. Plus the BBC upload their own stuff as well. Plus their are already clips of the documentary on there. And when you talk about copyright in regards to PBB when uploading videos of onride videos or offride videos this can be classed as copyright as well unless stated where it came from.

So if you do have it please upload it to youtube as I would love to see it. Just state that it belongs to PBB or BBC

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

New Rides For 2009 Announced!!

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. Think

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 !!

I don’t know to be honest!! :-)

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.

Hi

Me and my other half also love London her a little more than me, the only thing I dont like about London is the pace especally on the tube, more so if your on there at peak times, something you cannot avoid if like us you like to take in a show or 2 when your there. the people just barge past on them long tunnels when you have to switch lines or are leaving at your station.

Dont get me wrong any one who knows me knows I dont walk slow myself and like to get to where i am going as quick as possible but in London its just manic, ok I admit with most of the people who are doing this its commuters wanting to get home at the end of the day but it just so gets on my wick.

But the city and all it has to offer i love except the London Eye i just cannot do it, its odd though I can go up Blackpool Tower no problems (cannot do the walk of faith and look down though), and I can go up in a light aircraft on a pleasure flight, but the Eye just could not do for some reason.

Cliff C

I agree! Whats up with these people? Walking along wired up to something and typing on their blackberries…and nobody speaks on the tube, everyone just reads their books or sits poker faced!

So what are the different sections of the South Beach Diet? There are couple of them, the first 2 weeks is known as phase 1 which is one of the hardest and mind dedicating parts. This part will allow you to eat the fewest amounts of foods which isn”t too fun for people that love food.

London Dungeon 17th October 2008

I was at the Edinburgh Dungeon this Summer, and wonder if anyone’s been both there AND to the London Dungeon and is able to offer a comparison of these. I was considering visiting the London Dungeon in one of next year’s trips to London.

I notice from the photo above that there’s a courtroom scene in London (which there was also in Edinburgh - I have to admit I didn’t like that one but and wouldnt’ have liked to have been one of the people picked upon by the judge. I don’t like paying money to be humiliated!)

York I found to be quite chlostrophobic (sp ?), much darker and scarier … london is quite tame but good fun non the less and its definatley worth doing if you’ve not been before if simply to compare to the rest.
They have the court room scene at york too, the one in london was far better but was pretty humiliaiting for some people (one guy kept getting picked on and he didn’t seem too impressed)
The whole experience lasts about an hour and a half to Two hours …. and costs about twenty quid, however theres online discount and plenty of BOGOF vouchers available … so if you do go keep an eye out Smile

Have you ever fancied working at the Pleasurebeach?

Hi all

I’ve always fancied being stuck inside a 6ft fuzzy Beaver. Sure it might be sweaty and smelly, and maybe quite warm, but to see the smiles on children’s faces would be worth it.

I too Love London. I was lucky to live there for almost a year in my early 20s, and love going back.

I was on the London Eye in the Summer, and really enjoyed it - I was amazed to see so many famous sights all in one go from an angle I’d never seen them before. If you’re interested in London in any way, then this is a must-do experience.

(The London Aquarium is also nearby and is a big disppointment compared to Blackpool Sea life centre (especially considering the price - which I can’t recall, but I did think at the time it was a lot for the experience).

I’d guess that although most pleasure beach addicts would buy a copy of this programme if it was released on DVD, the actual market which it would appeal to is miniscule compared to DVDs of more popular shows.

For that reason I doubt that it will ever be officially released on DVD - I do think it’s a really informative series. I’ve seen it a number of times.

I wish the BBC would commercialyl produce all of the Paul Daniels Magic Shows form TV on a DVD set, but again I guess the captive audience (despite being bigger than the Pleasure Beach fanbase) woudl be relatively small. Even all the Doctor WHo episodes which still exist aren’t rendered to DVD yet (and the fanbase for that is quite large).

Hi Jim,

I agree. I only ever really go to Blackpool in May or September, for pretty much the reasons you describe.

It seems that Blackpool council are coming round though, and there have been recent moves to make the place more attractive for families. We can only hope Smile
