Alton Towers

[mikkyT]

The Debate can continue all night for me Mikky, but blonde is 100% against Racism, & if it goes that way, we will do the necessary.

Wouldnt have it any other way.

This isn't a religious/race issue- Alton Towers have made a business decision as they are a business. As long as anyone is willing to pay and they aren't breaking any laws Alton Towers will let you hire out the park for the day and do what you wish with it. As for the wedding party not being able to use the park after the wedding......boohoo. After both my weddings I had other things on my mind than a bloody big dipper. I didn't realise blonde would allow a debate/missinformation campaign on here, bordering on racism most of this thread.

Spot on, it's all about money and if it had been a Catholic only day none of us would have been fussed.

Wanna bet?

would we ever have heard about it though?

What about the anti-Catholic celebration that took place in Belfast earlier this week that where attended by thousands of Orangemen and Ulster Loyalists and was broadcast live on BBC Northern Ireland as a cultural celebration???

The way I see it is this, none of the countries that make up the UK are muslim therefore IMO muslim law should not apply to any part of this country.

Look at the issue in the news today where two muslims where carted to jail for the murder of a relative (honour killing) because she dcided she wante dto be with a non-muslim man!!

This seems to be getting a bit close to the bone, As claw rightly says, this is a private function, in a similar way to a company renting a hotel out for a full corporate function.

An example would be if a company like "corporate Express" rents out Alton towers, as they did recently, they had Corporate express music played, banners from the company and the CE flag was flown at the gates.

As it happens the public was not permitted to use the facilities on that day and only people from the company and Tussuad's were allowed on site to use the facilities.

Just because the religion is different we should not be bitter or accuse of raceism.

woops i didnt read this post before i posted almost the exact same situation lol.....


....hey thats another reason why Newmanseye and myself could be twins lol (PS Im not Gay - Honest)

I would like to bring it to your attention that on Sunday September 17th Alton Towers will be closed to everyone apart from Muslims.

Alton Towers staff will ensure there is no music, the bars will be closed and the entire park will adhere to Sharia Law. This of course is racist and discriminatory against the rest of the citizens of Britain.

Yes this is a private and corporate event but it is a case of exclusion for Britons on our own soil.

Could you imagine if I approached Tussauds (Alton Towers) with a view to making a corporate booking where Muslims were unwelcome then they would almost certainly refuse my business as they would be terrified of being branded as "corporate racists".

I cannot understand how this booking was made or even considered myself?! What if the shoe were on the other foot? Im pretty sure there would be protests all over the show!

I disagree

i this not the same as my work (Network Rail) approaching the Hilton hotel and asking to hire the full building out.

would our rival company (Jarvis Rail) feel discriminated against if they cant hire a room out that weekend?

Dave, can I just say at this point that I agree with what you say - theres nothing wrong with block booking a hotel/theme park/<insert thing to be block booked here>.

The issue I had with this was the fact that the wedding party has been discriminated against, the organisation arranging the muslim day out wrote to all the wedding guests demanding that they (the wedding guests) adhere to the strict muslim dress code and no drinking rules, plus the "no fratanising with the opposite sex on a ride" rule.

I find that quite offensive to be honest, its tantamount to me coming up to you and demanding to you "remove that green and white shirt because its offensive to my protestant eyes" (example... Im not actually protestant

I hope it p*sses it down all day!

why?

just because some people from another religious group are enjoying themselves?

[Heid]

That's a bit extremist...it's not hurting anyone. What's the big deal? I really don't understand what the difference between (as Dave said) a company with it's own needs hiring a venue.

Alton Towers are also have a gay only day as well... exactly the same as Disney do in it's own theme parks several days a year.

We all have 363 other days to choose to go there... where's the harm?

[Heid]

In fact ... what's the difference between this and blonde poker taking over the broadway card room in Jan for a night, or cin cins, or Walsall in September?

I missed that one before!  We wouldn't want it raining on the nice couple's wedding day!

LOL I've found my forum twin... I was posting the same thing!

But, Heid there is a difference... we are not insisting that other visitors to the casino/hotel/cardroom and its staff all wear a certain dress and refrain from doing things that our society would consider as normal.

Assume a wedding party had booked the broadway at the same time, in a different function room. And TightEnd wrote to the wedding party and told them, sorry, we've booked this hotel after you for a bash thats bigger than you and as we are teetotal you will not be able to drink during the length of your stay. Oh and BTW, cover up your bodies because frankly they offend us! Especially the frumpy bride.

At BB1, no-one was allowed to play the poker tournament except blondes, I saw them turn people away.
