Brighton Pier

Author: ZooKie / Labels:

This was the first attraction and tourist spot I saw when I came here in United Kingdom. Its quite impressive and unbelievable how Brighton Pier was made and installed in the sea. That time when im thinking of it, something comes in my mind it is how beautiful is United Kingdom. I know their are so many beautiful attraction back in the Philippines that's why im feel sorry that I never tried and see most of it. Maybe in the few more years I gonna go all around the Philippines because that's my dream. All around the world is too much for me that's why I only dreaming to see most of the beautiful attractions of the Philippines. Let's go back to the topic, I almost lost ( I really miss the Philippines ). Here you can now see the BRIGHTON PIER:

Brighton Pier 2009

The Brighton Marine Palace and Pier is a pleasure pier in Brighton, England. It was generally known as the Palace Pier for short, before being informally renamed Brighton Pier in 2000 by its owners, the Noble Organisation.
Work began on the Palace Pier in 1891 and it opened in May 1899 after costing a record £137,000 to build. This was Brighton's third pier. A condition to be met by its builders, in exchange for permission to build, was that the first, The Royal Suspension Chain Pier of 1823, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, was to be demolished. They were saved this task by a storm which largely destroyed the Chain Pier.
A concert hall opened two years later, and by 1911 this had become a theatre.
In 1986 the theatre was removed, under an understanding that it would be replaced.[1] This has not happened, and the present seaward end building looks fairly modern in comparison with the rest of the structure, supporting a domed amusement arcade and several fairground rides, including several thrill rides, children's rides, roller coasters and a log flume.
The pier had signs reading "Brighton Pier" attached to it in 2000, although this change is not recognised by the National Piers Society or many of the residents of Brighton and Hove. Local newspaper The Argus still generally refers to the structure as the Palace Pier.
The Palace Pier suffered a large fire on 4 February 2003 but the damage was limited and most of the pier was able to reopen the next day. This was a fraught period for Brighton's piers, with much damage occurring to the West Pier (of 1866) shortly before and after this event.
In 2004 the Brighton Marine Palace Pier Company (owned by the Noble Organisation), admitted an offence of breaching public safety under the Health and Safety at Work Act and had to pay fines and costs of £37,000 after a fairground ride was operated with part of its track missing. Judge Nicholas Ainley, passing sentence at Hove Crown Court, said that inadequate procedures were to blame for the fact that nothing had been done to alert staff or passengers that the ride would be dangerous to use. As a result, the current management, none of whom were employed at the time of the incident, began a detailed new training programme and now employ a full time health and safety manager

Brighton Pier Rides



"Galaxia"

"Wild River" (not sure of the name)

"Dodgem"

"Carousel"

"Crane"

"Booster"

Its quite exciting isn't it? But I never tried it when I go here not because im scared, its just im alone riding all those rides? how boring and lonely it will be if you don't have a friend or family to shout and scream with. Maybe someday I will experience that when my family is already with me here in Brighton. To all the people who like rides like this you should come here and try it out i think it will satisfy your self and it will make you scream as loud as you can..haha
Other leisures





You can go for a drink at night here in Brighton Pier they have three bars but ofcourse for 18+ yrs old only..hehe I never try it before because im not a party man, i would love to drink at home with tropa and go wild..haha You can go play in the side stalls and arcade here. But honestly I don't like the arcade here because its more like a Casino not like in the Philippines you can play different games like basketball shoot out, racing and etc. but I still tried it I lost my £5.00 playing arcade..huhu I only won few time but in the end still I lost my money. But its quite good to experience though.


Its the view of people go swim and sunbathing. I want to try this next year..huhu


This is the Sea where the Brighton Pier installed. In summer time many people came here to surf, swim and ski, some do fishing also. But the picture above was autumn period thats why you can see the large waves. I never try this because when I came here in Brighton, summer period was near end. Maybe next year I can try how lovely this sea is. In the first picture above, you can see the different look of me. haha that's me when I first got here in United Kingdom. You can also see how lovely the view and birds flying free because here in UK there is a law about Cruelty to animals, not like in the Philippines you can throw stones, shot the birds and catch them if you want. You will be fine a certain amount / go to jail if do cruelty to animals here.

As you can see its too far if you are in the other side of Brighton Pier. Thats why they have a Mini train look at the picture below:
You can ride to this Mini train if you tired of walking its will cost you £3.00 ( im not sure about the price because I never use that, I much prefer to walk ) It will take you from east to west of the Seafront. (vice versa)

Beside the Brighton Pier you can find so many fun things to do like Crazy Golf. It will cost you £2.oo for a one round to 18 holes. I really enjoy this game because of its crazy holes..haha it will make you think is it possible that I can put this ball into the hole? Its a really nice experience though.If you want to go for beach volleyball & wall climbing you can also find it here beside Brighton Pier. They also have a playground for children they called it "Peter Fun". There is other thing that i really like here in Brighton Seafront it is the:



Naturalist Beach? what this mean to you? hehe You gonna like it! haha It means people who came here to swim was Naked. Yeah in other word it is the NUDE BEACH..You can see people walking, sunbathing & swimming without any piece of clothes. But you can't see it when your on the road because its has a mounted pebbles to keep them invisible to other sensitive people. Haha when I first came here in Brighton I almost come here everyday..haha but now im sick of it, im tired seeing a people naked. But its a nice and lovely experience. You should try it! It will make your mouth wide open..haha
