Only walked past it, but it looked crowded and a bit naff from what I could see. I'm willing to be wrong about that though... (I did like the little stage opposite the entrance though. Saw a couple of good acts there as I wandered past) It’s a big outlay if they only do it once … they barely finished it … I think it will be back but I’ve seen nothing about that blue tented sea that they spoke of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it comes back it’s a bit novel and Glasto like, although I can’t see me spending more than 5 mins walking through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked through it one evening and to its credit, it reminded me of Southport pier insofar it was desolate and looked like it needed a fair bit of work doing on it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a really good concept and there was some cool stuff on there so hoping they get it up and running in time this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slowed down crossing the Pyramid field looking for dropped cash - even though this was Friday morning so no crowds at the Pyramid the night before... 🤣 My god- if you were capable of having even basic motor functions after a 6am finish in Maceos I am deeply impressed!

Yeah- should be done earlier this time I reckon, the build clearly went way over time! It was quite good fun- especially it seems for the friends I bumped into there who were not quite on the same plane of reality at that precise moment...

Things I’d never thought I’d see again, let alone play. Stuff yer Kylies, yer Rosses, yer Dolly Partons, that’s very much my legends slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah enjoyed them myself. Nice to take a view in for 10 minutes or so in the evening too. Away from the madness. When its not too jammed. Also met Michael Eavis at the opening of it so its served its purpose for me. Although I couldn't help visualising an on-the-pier Grand Theft Auto 5 type scenario which isn't very Glasto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that will be announced soon if it is happening, sounds amazing. Details coming "some time in the next week".

I spent a good hour there playing on the tables and found the guy from the pinball museum who was looking after the machines and bought a load of stickers from him 🙂 'Getaway' is still an epic game 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is a widely shared view which means they are MEGA expensive to buy these days, I'd be wary of setting one up at a festival full of clumsy drunk people 🙂 Spent hundreds on Fish Tales at Uni as well "Hoooow big was it?"

That one, The Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Twilight Zone are absolute gems. I'm definitely going to have to make an effort to get the the Pier and indulge myself in some pinball nostalgia this year! 4 minutes ago, Gnomicide said: I occasionally get sent stuff by people who ask my not to say anything.

Could be the other - which could do with a freshen up, or the spider could be returning to arcadia - which was alluded to elsewhere. Interesting times!
