I have not visited the dome and do not intend to.

In the couple of years that the dome was being planned and built, I was sick of all the anti dome coverage the media was churning out, However, now I think it is highly justified.

.As I live in the North west of England it would be a large financial commitment to visit the dome, which would have to include travel, accomadation and meals. For the average family this money could go a long way towards a proper weeks holiday.I have a large circle of family, freinds and colleagues and yet I dont know of anyone who has made the trip down south to visit the Dome. Furthermore so many people have a lot further distance to travel than I would if they were to visit the dome

From what I have seen on the TV of the dome, the show appears to be the main attraction, all the other rides and attractions seemed to be very dummed down and aimed at children. I dont feel I am missing out on anything by not visiting. It throughly sickens me to think of all the money that has been continually ploughed into the folly.

Sorry - how can you have an opinion about something that
only the biased media has 'educated' you upon. I think
you'd find a good balance between child oriented attractions
and adult exhibits if you were to visit. But you can't
pass a valid opinion without doing it. BTW, I knew nothing
about Blackpool for many years, and despite people saying
it was a down market resort, still visited in when up North.
I liked it very much! Maybe you should visit the dome
if you are in London - you might like it !

This is a nonsense. A review from someone who hasn't used the product. I am surprised that you have used it.
