I assume this embargoed project will in fact be at Boomtown.

Seems the entire festival there is like one big naughty corner

it won't be

Shame shes having to end her involvement cause of MS, sucks completely really!

Wonder if might be best for Glasto, to go all new? Rather than ending up with a less version of what we currently have?

I'm sorry but anything that see's 'stageside hot-tubs' as a USP doesn't interest me in the slightest......

Stageside hot tubs and fit lifeguards....

Oh dear. Oh very, very dear.....

A theme park then. For people that want to be seen in a hot tub.

Let's hope this isn't another London Pleasure Gardens...

I think with Virgin Atlantic, SeeTickets, Biletto, The AKA Group and Harvey Goldsmith’s The Live Firm onboard already it's unlikely to be. If I had any cash I'd invest.

To be fair they had a quite bit of backing for London Pleasure Gardens with the Olympics and Council if I remember rightly! (Alot of the stuff used for that is still sitting there on the land!)

Needs an in between "investment" option I think, the free ticket option feels a little steep, otherwise interesting project. I hope its pulled off this time

I don't know that raking over old ground is worth it - and I think Debs made it clear with the story arc for Shangri-La since then her take on that, but wasn't it a lack of audience attracted to keep revenues up to complete the build that proved a problem there - after the Olympics themselves said that they could not market or program LPG. In this case I believe Summerland themselves are in full control.

Yeah you are right there really  it was 3 years ago. It was a cool concept and a real shame it failed. I think as it was local to me, I really wanted to see it succeed!

 

Hope Summerland has better fortunes!
