@motorcrosser12 yeah i know one burnt down but there is one there right now i was on it the other week lol but this design looks nothing like it aswell as eveyone compalning about its opening date so im confuzled on a differant level
@1superalex Well I certainly hope so. Weston does need a notable skyline. Something along the lines of Toronto's CN Tower would be more to my liking :o)
@bywestonbay It is 100% certain that it is opening this summer i think maybe late july they havn't gave an exact date but only opening in summer 2010 hope this helps
Oh no! they are getting rid of the classy seating going down the middle - the length of the pier and replacing it with something that looks like tacky bus shelters!
Excellent design i have being watching the Grand Pier on webcam when im on the internet im looking forward to seeing it rise again. Only one thing Please put fire sprinklers around the pier to stop what had happend on the 28th July 08 !
The new design looks good - roll on sumer 2010 indeed, sounds like a good excuse to have another holiday in Somerset to see the pier when it's eventually rebuilt :)
Can't wait....roll on summer 2010, been down to Weston a few times since the fire, its not the same without the pier. Does anyone know if the shops & walkway will be open this summer?
looks fab hope ur gonna light it well at night because I would miss the lights off the water at night when i used to go and stare out to sea when I was down the lights on the pier some how perked me back up cant wait for it to be rebuilt PJxx
It looks to modern for a pier, It should of been designed to look like the old pier.

by the way what happend to the trains that took elderly people and kids up and down the pier? '
It was still running until the fire & I can't think there won't be one after the reopening. Too much of an attraction AND money earner.
