The Bull Ring is a commercial area of Birmingham, England. It has been an important feature of Birmingham since the Middle Ages, when its market was first held. It has been developed into a shopping centre twice; first in the 1960s, and then in the 2000s.

The current shopping centre is one of the largest in the United Kingdom, and with an average of 36.5 million visitors a year, it is Britain's busiest. It also houses one of only four Selfridges department stores, the others being in London, Manchester, and Trafford; and the second largest branch of Debenhams, spread over 4 floors. Consequently, the centre has been a huge success, attracting commerce from all over the world, including New York.

From www.10best.com:

A visit to this imposing structure, with its exotic turret and detailed tilework, brings you to the largest shrine temple in the world. A one-time Shriners' headquarters, the structure now hosts a variety of performances and important events, including conferences, receptions, Broadway shows, and pre-show gatherings. Visitors should keep their eyes open for the appearance of a resident ghost, believed to be the cause of inexplicable slamming doors and blinking lights. Even sans ghost, the ornate Egyptian room and the Islamic-inspired architecture make any visit worthwhile.]]>

The daily concert from our 732-bell Carillon is one of the true joys of Stone Mountain Park. The Carillon was donated to the Park by our friends at Coca-Cola after being exhibited in the 1964 World's Fair in New York City.

Guests can hear concerts at the Carillon every day. Concerts are at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 PM on Sundays and at 12:00 PM & 4:00 PM, Monday-Saturday. Concerts are live on Saturday and Sunday and are taped, Monday through Friday. Stone Mountain Park's carillon has been played by Mabel Sharp for over 30 years.]]>

Reverse Bungee

The reverse bungee (or catapult bungee, or Ejector Seat) is a modern type of fairground ride introduced by S & D Leisure in 1999 as a slightly more controlled, inverted version of the bungee jump.

The ride consists of two telescopic gantry towers mounted on a semi trailer, feeding two elastic ropes down to a two person passenger car constructed from an open sphere of tubular steel. The passenger car is secured to the trailer with an electro-magnetic latch as the elastic ropes are stretched. When the electromagnet is turned off, the passenger car is catapulted vertically with an acceleration of 4.8 g, reaching a maximum altitude of 55 metres (180 ft).

The passenger sphere is free to rotate between the two ropes, giving the riders a thoroughly chaotic and disorienting ride. After several bounces, the ropes are relaxed and the passengers are lowered back to the launch position.
