I've just read (in The Sun, so consider the reliability of the source, but anyway) that the police are investigating the possibility that the guyropes were cut by vandals. First reaction is that this would be easy to check - look for cut ropes - which makes me think that maybe they've already found cut ropes, and now they're trying to figure out whether it was done as part of the rescue operation or not. Apparently the exhibit itself was sliced up at a previous location.

The London appearance has been confirmed cancelled, so there goes the birthday plan. Does anybody have any thoughts on what else might be fun to do? I'm completely lacking in ideas.

We can hope that the vandals had no idea of the possible consequences and will now be plagued horribly by the event for the rest of their lives.

But I doubt it :/

In a way, i tihnk maybe it wasnt intended to have such devastating consequences, i think they just thought of it as a prank. Then again, realistically, who cuts the ties of an air baloon and doesnt expect it to fly and cause damage.

I guess you could pretend that X vandals each cut one rope thinking

"That'll cause them problems, but I've only cut it once so it won't fly away"

Still a horrific thing to cause though, and whilst I can't really understand vandalism itself, I utterly fail to understand how somebody could cut even one rope and not imagine the consequences.

Of course, at this stage it's still only one possible area of investigation... I imagine they're covering a lot of ground.

Does look fun, but way too pricey for most of my friends.

The Airkix thing glows pretty colours at night - it's quite alluring :) Have heard very good things about it. A lot of people seem to go with the intention of only trying it the once, just to see what it's like, but then end up wanting to go back again.

And, you know, if you did that for your birthday, I could come too :D :P

In all seriousness though, I'm sorry your birthday plans have disintegrated a little bit, but I'm sure a cool alternative will turn up.

In the mean time, please keep on doing the Dreamscape updates - you're a good source of information!

I'd love to do it, but would definitely be one of the friends who couldn't afford it.
