Talk:Granada Studios Tour

message: just wondered why a little know, minor, short lived, and really rather poor studio tour has its own article. surely this article is due for deletion?Daveegan06 19:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume this is a typo, but it lasted from 1988 (not 1998)--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:06, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Based on his previous "contributions", I think it's safe to say that we can take Daveegan06's opinions with a pinch of salt. The JPStalk to me 10:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

text: "Now" doesn't contain a 'K'. Be civil. Stop trolling. Stop being uncivil on talk pages. As for this article, Wikipedia is not a guide. Just because it is closed doesn't automatically mean the article should be deleted. The JPStalk to me 20:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Although now defunct, the Tour was "notable" in its own time, from 1988 to 1999, and therefore qualifies for a Wiki page under that name, although now obviously retrospective. Just because something isn't in the 'here-and-now' doesn't mean it should be barred from having a dedicated article. Refsworldlee(chew-fat) 14:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion

message: I forget its name, but there was an indoor ride through an alien spaceship. This wasn't the MotionMaster Aliens ride noted in the article, but one with vehicles on a track. I think it was in service during the latter years of the Studios' existence. Does anyone else remember it? 81.96.244.255 (talk) 19:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it was fairly rubbish... a long slow ride through a ruined "spaceship", building up your hopes and then a rather silly rubber monster behind a distortion screen, which probably scared kiddies but that's all. Probably one of the most pointless and off-topic installations as the site. If they had concentrated on Granada or ITV history they could have been onto something, but they tried to turn it into a fairground theme park, and that WASN'T the reason people went to the Tours.

replies: text:  Imho, that ride was rather good, and it also involved a news report using Trevor McDonald and I think it squirted water at you.  When the ride first opened it had actors, dressed as aliens, jumping out on you during the ride, or shaking your hands, but this was discontinued.  (I don't have any sources for anything in this paragraph, just a fond memory, having visited it on several occasions).  If anyone can remember the exact name of the attraction, I believe it should be at least mentioned in the main article--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:06, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
