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.

A flaw in PBB security

Author: Bicko

Posted: Today - 10:53 am

I would agree that most of the staff on the scanners, dont appear to be trained security guards. I know at least two of them used to work on games at the start of the season and were offered the job on the scanners, I talk to one of them every now and again.

Plus, how often is it, that you can just walk through one of those scanners, with phones, keys and a camera, and the scanner wont beep.

I dont think there is much you can do about a planned terroist attack, even trained security guards could be helpless in some cases.

I dont know if uktv company a sister company of bbc have they relesed the rights if that is the case????#

i doubt it though just ignore me as usual

Hi

Its is possible that the series was showen on a UKTV channel the BBC have a large stake in all of the UK channels or indeed there new names, Dave, Alibi, Watch ect, this is why the bulk of the content of these channels is old BBC programing. I have only had accees to thease channels now for 2 years nearly so I cannot confirlm if it was shown on one of the UK channels.

However given the information given to us in the thread that the master copys were distroyed not long after the series was shown then I would think that this was very unlikly.

Superb pictures! I love London! If you are tired of London, you are tired of life… Very Happy

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!

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 Smile

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 Very Happy

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?!

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 Sad

This COULD be a prank on behalf of PBB - no matter how big a prank it could be or not is irrelivent, the fact that a joke was played by you, and you found it funny……… but because someone else is / could be playing a joke, its not tolerated by you. All im saying is practice what you preach.

Quote:
Lastly, who said I was ‘peeved’? I can remember a few weeks ago saying something along the lines off I’ll take my hat off to PBB if it is a joke, they pulled it off very well

Once again, I ask what gives you the impression I cant tolerate a joke? A joke is only a joke as long as its funny. To see little kids crying about one of there favuorite rides closing, (infact involving the public directly it wrong IMO) if its ment for us, start a few rumours, sign up and post a few dodgy messages, but dont send the final train around the way they did on that night.

Good grief, your dealing with the lad here who got a large bucket of water tipped over him on the final day of the Log Flume, and was soaked with a hoze pipe on the Vikingar’s final day, so dont suggest I cant take a joke, especially when you dont even know me. Ask anyone who’s spend a few hours with me at PBB, they’ll tell you I’m always up for a laugh and a joke, regardless of the fact I might well be the target of the joke!

Pleasure Beach opening day, record BPB Guide turnout!

Opening day photo with JR.

Start of South Beach.

Photos with cast of SBM throughout the season.

James & Dane on PMBO for the first ever time.

Random sayings, like;

1. Length
2. Portion
3. Yarking
4. Tonking it down
5. Paddy
6. Get them on the books!
7. The 12am and 2am rule!

Erm, I am sure there is plenty more and they’ll be mentioned in the big review. Some of them you may not understand, just come to a BPB Guide meet and you’ll soon know lol. Laughing

My big end of season review will be posted once the season has totally finished.
