    SNICK - Round 8 1. This place is home to a time machine that strongly resembles a water heater and emits ​ too much radiation to use. Despite living there for several years, a man in this place is surprised to learn it has a squash court and a silo. A rarely seen bedroom in this place is covered in underwear and contains a working interocetor. A song from Lou Reed's (*) Transformer inspired the name of this place, where visual communication is accomplished via a ​ hexfield or an external camera named Rocket Number 9. Most views into this place are provided by Cambot. A hallway filled with numbered doors is in, for 10 points, what dogbone-shaped spaceship that housed Mike, Joel, Servo, and Crow on Mystery Science Theater 3000? ​ ​ ANSWER: Satellite of Love ​ <Nelson, TV> 2. Wesley Carr oversaw this event just months after taking the job that required him to do ​ so. The Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln was one of 500 charity representatives who ​ ​ took part in this event. "Song For Athene," which John Tavener wrote for this event, heavily incorporated the text of Hamlet. A speech given at this event described a certain ​ ​ person as "the most (*) hunted person of the modern age." A work debuted at this event was ​ released alongside "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" as a single. That work for this event changed a lyric from "Norma Jean" to "England's rose."

    Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary

    Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. With origins that can be traced to annual fairs and 18th-century pleasure grounds, and much influenced by America’s Coney Island amusement park of the 1890s, England has one of the finest amusement park and fairground ride heritages in the world. A surprising amount survives today. The most notable site is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, which has an unrivalled heritage of pre-1939 fairground rides. Other early survivals in England include scenic railways at Margate and Great Yarmouth, and water splash rides in parks at Kettering, Kingston-upon-Hull and Scarborough that date from the 1920s. This guidance note has been written by Allan Brodie and edited by Paul Stamper.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach Announces New £16.25M Rollercoaster

    2017 HISTORY & BACKGROUND OF BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH Growth of the Park Throughout the Years History Time Line RIDE INFORMATION White Knuckle Rides Selections Of Thrill & Family Rides Nickelodeon Land The Big One Ice Blast CONTENTS Infusion Red Arrows Skyforce Construction 2018 THE BIG BLUE HOTEL THE SHOWS Stageworks Hot Ice MARKETING Mission Statement Marketing Communications CUSTOMER SERVICE Meeting Customers’ Expectations TRIVIA EDUCATION ACADEMY HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a family owned company. The Pleasure Beach, as we know it today, was founded by William George Bean who, in 1896, in conjunction with a partner, John Outhwaite, bought the forty-two acre site on which the park now stands. Prior to this, there had been a small fairground at South Shore consisting of a few roundabouts, a switchback railway, games stalls and fortune tellers. W.G.Bean was inspired to build an America-style Amusement Park and introduced the Hotchkiss Bicycle Railroad to the site in July 1896. He travelled extensively, bringing new rides and ideas to the Pleasure Beach. Noah’s Ark and Sir Hiram Maxim’s Flying Machines are two of his attractions which still survive today. Before he died in 1929 he had established the Pleasure Beach as one of Blackpool’s greatest attractions. HISTORY When, in 1929, his son-in-law, Leonard Thompson, succeeded W.G.Bean, the Thompson family gained complete control of the company and there followed an intensive period of development including the building of the, then, modernistic Casino Building. During the war years the Pleasure Beach remained open all year round: enabling thousands of servicemen, evacuees, and the population as a whole to escape the realities of war for a short time.
