[edit] Photograph

How's my photograph? The sign one. A bit out of place, or not Wiki standard? Troubleshooter 23:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Someone has made some silly alterations to the article which could possibly be considered minor vandalism, contained within the following section, with the alterations highlighted in bold:

"Visitor Numbers

Pleasure Beach, Blackpool attracts about 6 visitors a year.

Tickets

Entrance to the park is £10. Rides are paid for individually using donuts which are on sale throughout the park."

I have never edited an article before and am nervous about doing so. Instead, I thought it would be better if I drew this to the attention of people who have more experience of dealing with this kind of thing and will know better how to deal with it. There may also be other edits similar to this which I haven't spotted.

[edit] Cleanup

I recently did a complete cleanup of the article, removing some of the POV statements, vandalism, and making it read less like an advertisement. I think this page still needs some work, as it is basically a list of the rides. I think we should include more about the history and the significance of some of the rides. --WillMcC 18:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The whole article needs some attention

Statements like "Space Invader - Closed down and re opened as Space Invader 2 due to death on the ride" are simply not true. The accident happened in 2001 - and the ride operated for two seasons after that before being refurbished.

Please only add things if you KNOW they are correct.
