What actually was the Rainbow Wheel? I’ve seen pictures of it many a time but can’t quite think how it works Confused

By all accounts "it was an illusion ride..Passangers sat in cars which never left ground level. Illuminated scenes then passed by them as the wheel revolved and the cars rocked and rolled. It was eye catching but not very popular. Opened 1912 and closed in the 1930s when Emberton replanned the park."

A flaw in PBB security

Author: BPBSecurity

Posted: Today - 08:03 pm

welcometomyworld wrote:
1) Why did you leave?

2) If you think PBB security is that bad, why don’t you report it to someone right at the top?

3) Could you see Amanda personally? or is she impossible to get near, a bit like Robbie Williams - let’s say Wink

1) That’s more to do with me as a person. It was a stop gap whilst my other half was waiting to start work as a teacher. I have a degree in software engineering, and was starting another degree so needed time for that. I also discovered I had a serious knee injury which required me to not be trudging round for 12 - 16 hour stints.

2) I think it’s worse than you could possibly imagine, as do several other interested parties, not least friends of mine in the local police and trading standards (that’s another story for another day, though) - but again, you need to understand the hierarchy of the place before you understand just how unimportant the workers’ opinions are. So, the only thing it would have achieved at the time would have been certain unemployment, and now I’m out of there, it seems a moot point, and to put a selfish spin on it - someone else’s problem.

3) Not a chance. Her workforce don’t exist to her. They’re just a means to an end. I couldn’t possibly have enough time to tell you all the stories (some of which come from my first hand experience) of her attitude and lack of respect towards the people in that place making her the money she uses to laud over them. To put it bluntly, she really REALLY couldn’t care less about what one of her seasonal employees had to say about the area she considers herself the expert in.

Some of the above makes me sound almost bitter, reading back. It’s more a case of the fact the pleasure beach is the worst place I’ve ever had the misfortune to work at. The type of person I am means I’d do anything for a living - I don’t value myself as especially better than anyone else, but I think it’s fair to say that I think I can (and do) do better for myself, so I chose to.

I disagree with most of the practices there, I disagree with the way they treat their staff and I disagree with some things that went on I couldn’t possibly comment on with this being a public site no doubt read by those I refer to. But I can be a lot more pragmatic about it, and understand that it’s what works for them, and not for me.

Quote:
I wouldn’t expect PBB security officers to be trained in how to deal with terrorism.

Well, considering the day and age we live in, perhaps this should change. Should they have trained staff, with it being a high-profile public destination?

We have to look at economies of scale in order to find the answer. In other words, the question isn’t "should they" more the question of "Is it financially benefical for them to have trained staff in place, who would no doubt make the place safer, but increase costs".

(Assuming the training is paid for, or you’re paying an accredited professional more than the standard minimum wage to do a quite serious role. And where do the costs go? Do they take a hit on their profits? Do they increase admission to cover the cost?)

Does PBB value its customers safety to do the above? And does it consider it necessary to pay out the money to do so?

Make your own answer to that one Wink

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 Smile

London Eye by Day and Night

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 Smile

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.

Posted: Today - 08:34 pm

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

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 Sad

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