You say heart of glass I don't know if your making a Blondie reference but it kinda looks like Debbie Harry from Blondie if you are making the reference.

Includes this fab picture of the Flying Turns. I've seen images of flying turns, but never a photo of this quality of the entire ride:

Love this photo of the Big Dipper at Blackpool that the Gazette recently posted for it's 90th anniversary story:

And this postcard that was on ebay (not sure how long the link will stay up...)

I love that top photo of Big Dipper. Shows just how remote and on the beach PBB used to actually be. I've seen the photos through the years as it developed and it's fascinating. Going from such a bare and exposed scattering of rides to what we have today.
