Yikes !! No thanks, makes me feel giddy watching that, I'm phobic over heights & edges.
But I will be going to watch my nephew Nick do his 3rd charity sky dive at 10,000 feet (almost 2 miles high)

I think a 'Skyscreamer' will alienate as many people as it will attract, Woe.
Can't see many people coming just because there's a theme park anyway - they're a bit old-hat now.

Sure the big wigs in charge on the island will come up with some kind of plan to improve tourism
Maybe they'll build a golf course, then pat themselves on the back for another job well done
a cheese museum, how can it possibly fail?

So why do Jumbo Jets full of people leave the UK everyday, bound for Orlando Florida.
The 6 Flags parks in the 6 Southern "Confederate" States of the USA are fantastic. I've been to 2 of them.
The 'confederate' states are the best place for them, Woe.
Be careful what you wish for.
Yes, you could have a few more jobs for a while, a few more tourists, more kids zapping round on mopeds, more drunks outside the bars, etc etc.
But I chose not to go to Ibiza for a reason.
must be the in thing this is the starflyer in Manchester city centre at the moment

I mean no offence by saying this but Fuerteventura didn't exactly choose you either.
I see where your coming from and agree that alot of the appeal to the island is the quietness and tranquillity etc, but to achieve is to adapt, and what's wrong with reaching out for people that spend money?
Some are getting on to Woe about an "idea" but if I'm honest I think it's actually a very good one, same with the oil rigs, I honestly believe it's a good thing that in reality doesn't affect hardly anyone.

Granted it's American, but it's good money
