I think it's a great idea, but can't help thinking it will never materialise for one reason or another.

Saw that the other day, it would be mega ace. Like you say though, I can't see it ever happening. This is Swindon we're talking about.

The Oasis was fairly revolutionary in its time.  If you were a kid in the 1980s, that wave machine had a reputation that spread well beyond Swindon.

Never say never.  If you think Swindon is always going to be mediocre, why live there?  I hope they go for this.

Used to go all the time with my sister when we were nippers. Loved the flumes and the wave machine. Used to be totally gutted when the time ran out! Pesky time!

 Growing up and 25 miles from swindon, there were 5 things i knew about. The football team, speedway team, the magic roundabout, the wave machine at the oasis and the revolving bar at the Brunel. Seemed like a magical kingdom from a Newbury perspective!

Along with the new shopping centre, new speedway ground, university, canal, New Swindon company, Swindon West Train Station, Will never happen…

You think?  So why can Reading, Bristol, Cardiff get the go-ahead for projects like this and Swindon can't?  I just don't understand it.

Wasn't aware of the Swindon West station plan.  Where (exactly) was that planned for?
