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.

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?!

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

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.

TOTTENHAM HOT SNACK
Juande Ramos walks into Burger King and asks for two Whoppers. The man at the counter says, "OK, you’ll break into the top four and win some silverware."

HOWAY, JOSE
Jose Mourinho was quick to quash rumours linking him with the Newcastle job.
He told reporters, "I’m not that fucking special!"

CELIBATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON
God appears to a bloke and tells him that he must give up smoking, drinking and sex if he wants to get into Heaven. The guy says he’ll try.
A week passes and God visits the man again to see how he’s getting on.
"Not bad," says the bloke. "I’ve given up smoking and drinking but the other day, when my wife bent over the freezer, I had to f**k her up the arse."
"They don’t like that in Heaven," God tells him.
The man replies, "They’re not too happy about it in Morrisons either."

CHUB SCOUT
I went to see Chubby Brown the other week. As soon as he came on stage, I started shouting,"You fat b*stard! You f*t bastard!"
I was then told by security that sort of behaviour wasn’t tolerated at the Labour Party Conference.

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.

You’ll maybe be struggling with picking your views guys, in my experience of those type of hotels it’s very much ‘no frills’. Which I guess is fair enough with the deals they do! You never know, you can only ask, but I’d do it at time of booking rather than when you arrive, to avoid possible disappointment.

Hang on a minute, my prank was aimed at a handfull of people, some fell for it, others didn’t. It was ment to be contianed on here (otherwise I’d of copied it to other forums) however others decided to drag it elsewhere on the net before I had chance to lock it, which I did stright away, after admitting it was a joke.

You’ll also notice that forums with which I have membership, I claimed responsiblity for it and admitted it was a joke.

As I have said (what seems to be several thousand times now) it was not the op’s of RollerCoaster who played this ‘prank’ it was almost every op who I spoke to!

Further more, CPB held a ’symbolic’ ERT on the RollerCoaster….and thr chairman of the club (who gets to find out the facts, and is very good at keeping his trap shut when he is told to) was spotted on the Revolution staircase taking several photo’s of the ride during the last hour of the park’s operation. That could be coinsidence, but for the ride op’s to take things to the extent of having the entire train load believe they are/were its last ever riders (not to mention asking for pictures to be taken and posted on the net) is going a bit far, and to tell little kids the news they’ve missed the last ever ride (and have them in tears) is a little bit more than a prank played between a few mates on the internet, wouldn’t you say?

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 (I cant be bothered looking for the quote, its out there, look for it if you have nothing better to do!) I also said I would love to be proved wrong about this, so come on then Scott, PROVE ME WRONG, I want you to!

I broke down before the final drop on Valhalla with a few of the guiders earlier in the year, we were on the actual corner before the drop as another boat was in front of us, we waited for ages, as I believe we were one of the last boats to be evacuated and water was coming over the sides we actually had to push the boat upright to stop it.

Eventually we were rescued and it’s quite tricky to actually get out of the boats and onto the walkways, we walked through a couple of scenes and then out down some stairs to safety where we were told we could reride without queing to get twice as wet …. a pretty cool evac if you ask me but would be a bugger if you had really short legs !! lol

I like the stuff in the Valhalla shop but it doesn’t really match the rest of whats on park, however it does really suit the ride …. I dont think i’d be a fan of Infusion or PMBO style merchandise on Valhalla as I dont think it would match its theming …

Well I still think it’s a shame it wont be open for winter weekends however needs must, and it’s probably better that they spend the extra time over this winter to hopefully restore normal operation as 2008 has been a pretty poor year for it.
I agree with ash … it’s certainly a shadow of its former self at the moment, however I really cant see them fixing it to run how it used to …. but a more reliable ride would certainly be an improvement !!

I’d happily work for the Pleasure Beach in a management or executive position which at least matched my current salary and working conditions.

I’d certainly not be interested in a job as a ride operative or sales assistant, as it would cost too much in travel for me to do such a job there. Maybe if I was retired and lived in Blackpool it woudl be good for extra income though.

early season stated for my family at loudoun castle at the easter holidays it was absolutely baltic but a good out and the park was really busy.2nd trip was to grangemouths zetland parks 1 pound a ride night,absolutely heaving all night and great value for money.3rd trip was to m&ds strathclyde park,it wasnt very busy and i was surprised to see how run down and uncared for the park is getting(a painter is badly required for all the steel coaster).4th trip was back to loudoun castle at the end of the summer school holidays,the credit crunch was starting to bite and the park was noticably quiet but we all managed a good ride count as there were little queues.5th trip was end of season trip to bpb during the scottish october school week which was not the best of weather tues was heavy rain,wed was intermitent rain so we plumped for thursday which although sunny was cold and we were surprised how quiet the park was,no avalanche,ark or space invader,and breakdowns galore.We made the most of it but left feeling a little dissapointed that the scottish buisness doesnt seem to mean as much as it used to.Still not the end of season though as im hoping to go to edinburgh for the xmas celebrations and funfair in the next few weeks.Well this sums up a mixed season,what about everybody else!!!!
