Brighton's new i360 tower - a ' giant dildo with a cock-ring'

[sealion]

There was daily test runs up to last week.The pod was sent up and left there for an hour or so,then sent halfway and left to sit for an hour,it has not moved this week.It is still very much a building site with lots of paving and fancy concrete seating being installed.

"Architects David Marks and Julia Barfield said: "The team behind British Airways i360 has gone beyond the call of duty and created a new landmark they should all be proud of".

"Built at the landward end of Brighton's historic West Pier, British Airways i360 is a modern day vertical pier which invites visitors to walk on air and gain a new perspective on the city, just as the West Pier invited Victorian society to walk on water.”

A modern day vertical pier.
Yeah without the bumper cars,ghost train,amusement arcade,candy floss etc,etc.

Maybe they'll let you go down the ladder if you've had enough

For my sins and phobias, I've have climbed and descended the ladders/stairs at both the OXO tower and the new bridge steam museum water tower

But you can still "walk on air" so all is well.

 

[sealion]

At 3pm today only a third of the Dildo was visible from the ground upwards from my view 15 metres away. I suppose as visitors will have pre booked and paid to go on it BA won't lose to much money on bad weather days.

 

[sealion]

So as of Thursday visitors and the people of Brighton will be able to "walk on air"

i360 to launch with a bang

Walk on air, urgh, when you fly in a plane do you 'walk on air'? Of course not, you walk in the plane. You'd have thought British Airways of all people would understand how these things work.

I'll buy you a ticket if you spend the entire duration of your travel singing (only) the chorus of 'Walking In The Air' from The Snowman.

I sing with the voice of an angel. Lucifer.

I have once 'walked' from Malaga to Heathrow. The joys of travelling with a three year old. Travelling to Mumbai with a three year old in December, would rather not walk that one...

Cheers, but I won't enjoy it
Fwiw, there was a chat about it on r4 early yesterday evening.
I was speaking to a local rellie on phone recently who is up in arms over it and the waste of money

Well there has been a lot of cuts to essential services,a lack of "affordable"housing and surgery closures due to lack of funding.People are also concerned with the precedent it will set for future planning applications.
This has been suggested for Maderia drive.

Brighton is not the cheapest of places and Hove is the upper end of the area, so no surprise there.
