Why can't things last? This is why societies get worse. No joined-up strategic thinking. Our forefathers are rolling their eyes and turning in their graves.
Get a life like i literally mean it just genuinely. Our people are better than what yours are for christ sake. Ok now thats out the way. I don’t even give a heck about politics but you can’t just hate our great country because of some terrible people and comparing us to THAT?!
Oh wow.. I will always have fo d memories there, I remember watching Titanic there for the first time with my Mom and Auntie.. All my medals at figure skating, swimming lessons and even yoga at one point.. Geez.. So sad to see it go.. A big part of my childhood was spent there.. Wonderful video.. Sam x
When I was at glebe primary their was a competition to name the flumes in the schools in Irvine my old class mate Robert Hankins was the winner With the magnum maelstrom, blue bomber and red rocket and our class was the first to use the new flumes Sad watching it be demolished
Sad to see it go but the building was only made to last for so long,,smell of bleach always takes me back to my childhood visits to the magnum for a swim, i remember seeing the stand up comic Chic Murray walking into the magnum as i was going the for a swim as a 12 year old!!!
Hi Richard, My name is Jennifer and I work for a production company in Glasgow - we are making a piece on the Magnum for STV's History's show and we were wondering if you might have time for a chat? Our website is upnextstudios.co.uk if you want to check it out and hopefully speak soon. Thanks again.
Fun fact: My uncle Name: Ronnie Singleton was one of the first children in the magnum 😂👌 at the grand opening they did a draw with names and his and someone else’s came out
@@DJcrazykev75 I am planning a new Magnum called Magnum fun place even larger than the portal or the Magnum leisure centre. The largest leisure centre is in France now
Spent the best years of my childhood there, every Sunday it was our religion. Badminton, squash a swim then ice skating in the afternoon. It was the best thing to ever happen in Ayrshire, so sad to see it go.
Brought back so many happy memories of times with my two sons Jason and Leon Stewart. It was so well used, Leon loved the Joe and Sandra Wayne Show on a Saturday and we all enjoyed the ice skating. It was way ahead of its time.
I still cannie believe they demolished the magnum and built the portal which is 1/4 the size and a pool that's been closed 90% of the time, to top it off the cost of upgrading the entire magnum would have cost HALF what its cost to make the portal, but typical tory and labour councils who would rather give cash to there buddies to build that shithole portal
SNP were in charge when the Portal was approved. If you're looking to blame someone, blame the SNP. They've been getting an easy time of it, and that time really should be over.
Wonderful video, thanks for making it - brought back many happy memories. Living down south now, still can't quite believe it's gone... I remember it opening and how exciting it all was! It used to be the future...
It wasn't just the developers, but also the management running the Magnum during the times your referenced videos were made. They did so much not only to promote the Magnum, but Irvine too. Someone even came up with the "Beach Festival" which ran for a couple of years, and as a visitor it was a great success.
the outside pool was great,many time i swam in it in the rain and snow with my kids,they loved it too,the portal just doesnt compare excellent vid though
