Talk:Xscape (building)

Other Xscapes

It would need a bit of research, but this article could be developed into three sections, one for each location. --Concrete Cowboy 21:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

My research commenced ths morning. Once I have enough info the above will become reality... User:Tom walker 08:48 GMT 16 August 2006

Name

Erm, suggest name change as the other two Xscapes aren't domes - they are far more angular. Suggest 'Xscape building' or something like that, can't just put 'Xscape' because of the band of that name. User:Tom walker 11:48 GMT 17 August 2006

Yes, I guess it has to be Xscape (building). [The band should really be "Xscape (band)" as per convention, but maybe that needs to wait until there are a few more buildings). Just use the "Move" tab at the top. --Concrete Cowboy 12:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Disambig

Somewhere we should record that Xscape was changed to be a disambig to Xscape (band) or Xscape (building). --Concrete Cowboy 21:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Name (again)

Should this article be moved to X-Leisure, and expanded to cover the entire parent company that trades under the X-Leisure, Xscape, and SNO!zone brands? DWaterson 17:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd rather not to be honest. This article is more for the buildings than the company - although an X-leisure section in the article would be a good idea. User:Tom walker 20:22 GMT 9 December 2006

I agree with Tom. For most readers, the buildings and their contents are what are interesting. Who developed and manages them is also ran - it is even questionably notable. At most it deserves a section in this article, perhaps with a redirect from X-leisure. --Concrete Cowboy 21:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

In fact, X-Leisure is fairly notable mainly because its current CEO is Pierre-Yves Gerbeau of Millennium Dome fame. However, as there is no consensus on page move, it may as well stay as it is. DWaterson 00:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

A separate article on X-Leisure would be no harm, if you have the info. Agree about PYG. --Concrete Cowboy 18:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. As long as the info on the buildings (and thier article) is not lost, I'm happy. User:Tom walker 21:39 GMT 10 December 2006

The Glasgow Xscape isn't actually in Glasgow. It's in Renfrewshire, right next to Renfrew.

Cinema Dates

The Glasgow section says this of the cinema (where the roof caved in prior to opening)- "The cinema finally opened at the end of September 2007. The mini-golf (which is housed below the cinema) opened in July 2006.

The cinema opened on October 19 2007, 18 months later than planned"

I'm not sure which is correct. Is the second one supposed to be the Imax or something? It just looks contradictory. Renquist (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Images

The two on the page are of very poor quality. They do no justice to the pristine, sun-sparkling futuristic look of xscape - at least the one in MK. The article could be improved with better images Gilgamesh007 (talk) 15:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
