Option C and Dreamland the Real Facts

[Neil]

Ps: For someone who claims to have such great knowledge of theme parks you make alot of mistakes. Just like you and your friends do when you run them !

Bob does not know much about theme parks/amusement parks and that has definately been confirmed. He told us that all major theme parks spent atleast £5 million on new rides. When I pointed out that Drayton Manor had never spent more than £4 million he had to admit that he didn't know about theme parks other than Dreamland and Adventure Island (although even this is supect. He recons that Adventure Island has a lot of retail similar to Lightwater Valley and they have/are about to add a market around the rides.)

To be honest I'm not quite sure what kind of things Bob does know about. There is a topic where people can introduce themselves so perhaps if Bob introduces himself we'll be able to relate to him better.

You know what, I just can't help but laugh every time I read comments by "bob" because he only seems to respond to Questions that he has answers too. Others that he cannot comment on because he doesn't know too much information about or just doesn't want to dig himself into too much of a hole than he already has he just wavers them by and carries on with other more simple questions.

Anyway back to reading other posts.

That is a reasonably fair assessment although to be fair he is fairly explicit about the fact Adventure Island has a super market in the centre. I don't now about calling in the Inspector of State, Sherlock Holmes might do it.

Some redundent buildings will need to be demolished and a new access road will be built. A small amount of the site will be used for appropriate retail facilities. This does not include a Supermarket, DIY store or anything like that. It will include a resturant/take away. Souvenir/Gift shop. Confectionary shop. Occasional Market. These will all be small units.

1) As I have pointed out to you atlest twice Bob there are several empty units on the sea front so are more really necessary?
2) If you argument that these buildings need to go to allow future development are ligitamate then why doesn't the development company officially reveal their plans (instead of doing it second hand through you)? Once we officially know what the future plans are (none of this has been mentioned in the Thanet Gazette!) we can decide for ourselves whether or not the buildings need to be demolished. As we live in a democracy you should not have to decide for us.
3) As Nick Laister pointed out 3 buildings are covered by the listed building policy which clearly states that some effot needs to be made to incorporate them into future development. Are you so confident that you ideas are the best you do not feel that we need to continue playing by the books?

They are also concerened about the site falling into disrepair.

ie like Frontierland? Fully agree with you there Bob. The sooner Philip Miller owns the entire site the better.

At the moment you are objecting to somthing that you have not a clue about so how can you really object.

That's why we are objecting. How can we allow you to knock down these buildings when we havn't seen the plans. Moreover why should we trust you Bob? I for one have no idea who you really are (and since you keep refusing to post in the 'introducing yourself topic' I can't help feeling there must be something you want to hide.)
