    Shouldn't this thread be in the "Up your income" board? That's all the OP is trying to do...

    AM I the only one who had a chuckle imagining the scene.

    It would have got the OP £200 from You've Been Framed if it had been caught on camera.

    The windows are like that so kids can have a look through them. What would be the point in raising them above the height kids can see through (or above the height the fish are swimming at??

    You can't really expect Alton Towers to replace a specialist window (easily a £500 job) just because some kid ran into it, can you? Anyway, the repair man might get eaten by lions when he replaces it!

    If Alton Towers keep their lions underwater then I do think they're breaching some type of rule :wink:

    window at that height should be covered in cotton wool to avoid accidents
