If PBB are delibratley weaking the structure of the Cyclone in the hope it collaspes over the winter I believe they are breaking the law. As the ride borders public paths and Southport seafront they have a duty to ensure that it is safe. Should anyone be injured as a result of this they would face prosecution and could lose more money than they've sold the park for.
Without a Safety net your free to find serene pleasure of speed.

The Save the Cyclone group is holding a Nov 5th vigil... all that wood stacked under the structure... we don't trust BPB at all.

The meeja has been called...

As far as I know, it's still there.

It may be gone by tomorrow though, if Cyclone is anything to go by!
