BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Coach on Aug 27, 2015 11:39:44 GMT 1, Think those waiting on e-mail confirms should be fine, prob just sheer numbers causing a delay in confirmations coming through. I ordered at 10.01am and got my e-mail about 10mins later. Looking forward to going next Tues!! Can anyone recommend a decent chippy round there?
I had a delicious chips and curry sauce at around midnight, when I realised that, in my excitement (and inebriation), I had not eaten since a sarni at lunch. Can't remember where from. But it's the seaside so bound to be an abundance! Enjoy on Tuesday!!

What. Does. The. GWB. AP. Look. Like. I understand folks are excited about the ticket release and going to the show. However, can anyone share more about the above picture? Maybe I'm just jaded since I'm in the USA and can't see the show... |

BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Aug 27, 2015 13:12:46 GMT 1, Looks like Banksy took inspiration from every aspect of Disneyland. Including the not so well know exclusive VIP members only club inside Disneyland called Club 33. As there's also an invite only VIP area upstairs at Dismaland, for those with very deep pockets...

BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by tezpellet on Aug 27, 2015 14:18:42 GMT 1, 100% bang on Dibbs !
the age range, diversity, everything about it was amazing, even the people who and there where alot, of people who didnt get it, but where following the crowd type of people, the people moaning about the mess on the floor and how did health & safety ever sign it off ! and half of the fun is sitting there people watching, its a live installation of life that totally contradicts itself (some of the time) all i got was a lousy t shirt, well 2 and i love them, interestingly i got the logo t shirt and the other one which was spelt DISMAL LAND and not dismaland, i only realised this morning ! it still keeps giving, its also good to see that new pieces are being added too, ie the M Mouse snake,
i did see one of the guys who worked there he was early 40's had a hand full of papers with what looked like specs, lists etc he had short hair glasses, a bit of paint on him, i don't know why but something really said to me it was banksy ! i know its a daft thing to say but who knows ? maybe it was...
I have to agree with most comments on here about how good this show was and is. I got there Thursday and watched the local people go in whilst sipping a coffee on the sidelines. Everyone was genuinely excited and not an empty tube carrier in sight in the queue. There were families, couples and everyone seemed content to be part of the enormous sprawling queue. Myself and two other forum members sat on a bench opposite and watched events unfold, as TV crews got the local angle from members of the public, and elderly gent draped in union jacks canvassed for support on the closing of a local pier. This was all part and parcel to the build up of this show and where best to start it by giving it to local people. I couldn't wait to get in and soon after we were discussing all this in Wetherspoons. We were also discussing who's round it was next, after meeting up with other Forum members, who were today real people for once and not keyboard commentators with daft names (easy tiger) on here. The sun was out and my bald head was getting burnt and the anticipation grew. Yep it was dismal. Later by good fortune our crowd got into the PV, due to good forum members helping others (you know who you are) out and skilled negotiations and invites. What followed after that was but a blur. Carefully selected artists that enhanced the theme of the show dramatically and to wit the burning of a Jeffrey Archer book was of course just one of many highlights. And what a place to go to get free pizza. The show wasn't about prints. Let me repeat that the show was not about prints. No one mentioned this at the show as it was irrelevant to the spectacle that is Dismaland. As others have said this needs to be experienced first hand. Good photos may give a glimpse of it but this is only half the story. Those who want to curate shows should go along to see how its done with backing and money. Its been over a week now that I went and I am still buzzing from it. Not many shows have that impact.
