not £16 worth of good for approx 30secs of fun imo!!

To charge 16 quid is astonishing.

For anyone to actually pay that is even more so.

Do you only get 1 go for £16?

There's a similar zipline at Niagara Falls which costs $60 + Tax, so £16 seems quite reasonable in comparison!

The zipline which has replaces the big wheel next to the Pier

Should have kept the wheel but dirty council politics always wins.

It's only £8 if you do the instant drop, thing.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

How much do I have to pay not to go on it?

I think they're referring to your flies . . . . aren't they? They've made a horror film about mine - "What Lies Beneath". Be afraid, be very afraid.

That and the fact that no one went on the wheel.

Are you still peddling that potty conspiracy theory?

Jesus wept.

I was kind of hoping this would be about a zippy wire thing straddling the AMEX for use by an overhead camera.

Some how I knew you'd be along with your dreary arrogance. It's VERY SIMPLE - the Wheel applied for an extension to their stay - the council rejected it because there was a clause in the i360 deal to prevent competition due to the PWL. The wheel was considered competition - the zip wire is completely different and so isn't.

There was no logical or planning reason for the council to reject the planning extension. Planning Officers recommended allowing the extension - it was politicians who rejected it.

Does seem expensive for one go.

I need to renegotiate terms with the local strip club.
