November 20th, 2008A lot of this can be credited to the concentration of condos in expensive coastal areas like Miami Beach. However, the wealthy are not the only ones buying a Miami Beach condo, as both ends of the middle and upper income markets are buying. While the affordability of getting these types of housing units these days is enough motivation to buy, retirees, empty nesters, dual income professionals and individuals have now been rushing to buy or rent condos as a lifestyle choice.

where to start, where to start.
First off, sorry it’s taken so long for me to get the previously sent pm to direct me here. I actually quit the job before the end of the season and had a little holiday, so here we all are.
Secondly: I’d propose that the topic title should be changed to: "One of the many many flaws in BPB Security." Trust me when I say there are many.
The main thing to realise is this: the people employed on the security "team" aren’t trained professionals. No matter what they think (I include myself in this bracket) no-one receives any relevant training that would help avoid any serious terrorist attack to the park (not withstanding any so-called previous experience gained in other employment - such as the military etc).
To sum it up even more simply: Hardcore domestic / international terrorist, most likely with years of military training, not to mention the "specialist" training they’d get for such an attack, vs a seasonal, 6 per hour dis-interested security guard, whose main interest for being in said role is that it means they’re not a ride operator.
Please read the above paragraph again and again until you reach the right conclusion.
As far as the security scanners go (and if I’m right in my thinking, the young lady who posted earlier has a name that begins with "N"…..) can you imagine doing the same repetitive thing over and over and over and over and ov…. you get the idea. The thought of being stuck doing that terrifies me. Probably because I think it’d drive me mental, but who knows.
I can’t say I blame them for being lax, I know I couldn’t do it for an hour (on the occasions when I’ve hung about to help out) never mind anything up to 12. Again though, they’re not government trained experts, I doubt most (if any) of them cared about little more than what time they escaped, or how much they’d get paid at the end of the week.
The attitude of some members of the security team has always been a source of amusement for me. I don’t claim to have the most customer-orientated attitude, but then again to coin someone else’s phrase, that place is for the most part like a holding pen for the Jeremy Kyle show (present company of course, excluded).
Still, some of the ways I’ve seen situations handled are, for want of a more suitable derisory term - laughable. Still, let’s not get too personal, huh.
I’m not sure what else I can say right now (it IS ridiculously early in the morning, though) but I’d like to finish with this:
| Adrian wrote: |
| Of course security matters, however the issue of security letting somebody they know through the barriers doesn’t. In order to stop a terrorist security at PBB would need a root and branch reform to have a cat in hells chance. In its current guise it is only just better than a chocolate fire guard. |
This is the single post in this entire thread that sums it up perfectly.
The security features that are in place are all well and good when it comes to your average scrote from Barrow-In-Furness that’s had one shandy too many, your average local running a wristband scam or whatever, but in the event that the place was ever identified as a TRUE target (over several hundreds of better placed and more high-brow targets within this country) then you all need to realise that we’d be in serious trouble.
I’m taking questions now

Hi Ian,
It was actually the other way round. The Tidal wave Started on South Park then ended up next to Fun House (It was there on the night of the fire, but was undamaged).
Back to the Flying Carpet, and can anyone remember how Geoffrey marked the opening?

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

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?!

Well as I started this thread I guess I better give my view.
"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.

| 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!

I am going to do a big report in December, but some of my favourite memories;
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.
My big end of season review will be posted once the season has totally finished.

I was thinking of going to BPB this coming Sunday, but looking at the queues and low capacity I doubt I will bother. But I will be there for the final day for sure |
I am going to be there next Sunday too Graham, I cant see it being that busy again!

Is this really what student loan money should be spent on?
When its over a grand, I am pretty sure some of it can be spared on petrol money for trips to Blackpool lol.
I dont live away from home, and I dont have to worry too much about spending money on getting to college.
Student loan is for what we please, still have to pay it back regardless of what its spent on.
I’ll worry about what I spend my money on, and you worry about what you spend your money on.
