	Brighton Pier
		On offer here is not just a collection of rides on the end of the pier but also a collection of other amusements on the pier.
		So, would I rank Brighton as one of the better smaller parks that function as a diversion on a visit to a town, or one that is an attraction in it's own right.
		Another thing you have to consider is although it says the pier is open 364 days a year the funfair is pretty much dead at non peak times, with the combination of rides left unmanned, and minimum numbers of riders on some rides meaning there isn't that much on offer in terms of rides.

	SouthParks Community -> Brighton Pier
		To be honest, the pier is a complete blot on Brighton seafront, and the more that falls in, the better.
		The pier really needs to get a move on with the new Boosters and Megadrop as to be honest most of the rides there are average at best now.
		However, at the same time the West Pier is beyond restoration and should be demolished, or just be left to rot in to the sea, which looks likely within the next year or so.
