Assessment
editI've assessed this as low importance as there's no mention of it being a listed building etc., although I suspect a pier of this age may well be. A quick Google search didn't throw anything up, but if the pier is (say) grade II or II* listed then the importance would shoot up to mid. waggers (talk) 11:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Request for comment on whether attractions should be listed in current format
editCurrently, this article vastly comprises considerable lists of attractions, current and former. I'd like to determine opinions on whether this content should remain, be truncated or removed in near entirety. It's worth noting that the "pier" is predominantly an entertainment/amusement venue, rather than a traditional "out to sea" pier. The existing prose is entirely making up the lead, itself mostly just mentioning attractions and I feel this should be sectioned with the removal of the list-cruft that currently engulfs the article.

- Bungle, I certainly agree that much of what is in the lead should be moved to sections lower down the page. The article is missing a specific History section and most of the prose in the lead would belong there.
- As you say, the subject is more akin to a theme park than a traditional pier. It's a common convention for articles on theme parks to have tabular lists of current and former attractions, so I think these should be kept more or less as they are, although I notice that not all of the information is referenced and that's a bit of a concern.
