Ok i would love to do this personally, but having fairly bad vertigo would kind of stop me...

as in i would be in the middle of the court scared s**tless... :(

but still it looks damn good :D

i prefer filling them with matcheads and throwing them at things. or using them as potato gun ammunitoin, make a nice fireball on impact.

I'm fairly sure that's a landing pad and not a tennis court..., after all most courts aren't round.

How do you keep them from going off while you are stuffing them?

Yup. It's the hotel's helipad. It's all fun and games until somebody decides to go after that volley...

Ahem...it does kinda say that in the quotes under the pics...

Whoa! That's crazy.

I have vertigo just looking at those pics.

thats so cool

i want to play tennis there!

I think it would make a better dodgeball court :D

How do you keep them from going off while you are stuffing them?

A great deal of caution. Many people who "play" with pyrotechnics count serious burns almost as a mark of pride. Those who do pyrotechnics on a more serious level are quite the opposite.

(I've played with a gasoline tennis ball launcher, among other things. I have all my fingers and toes, I have no serious burns. CAUTION is your friend.)

It would make an awful squash court, though.

It would however make for an interesting Rugby match... :eek:

"and i think hes just put a foot in touch....and over the edge he goes"

It would however make for an interesting Rugby match... :eek:

...and a world record javelin contest.

i fill them with amonia soaked iodine crystals and chuck em at things.....big bang, purple stain, and poison gas :D :D :D

i remember seeing this before but was sure that it was a driving range for golf balls.

Yup... I think playing on that particular court would see me clutching the net with my knuckles going white in an incoherent state of panic.

I can handle heights, just not that amount of height.

why not finn them with match heads and drop them off of building :D

*forming ideas*

Me thinks i have started something very bad indeed... :(

(I've played with a gasoline tennis ball launcher, among other things. I have all my fingers and toes, I have no serious burns. CAUTION is your friend.)I work with a guy who "played" with pyrotechnics.

His right hand has some seriously misshapen fingers and some nasty scars.





His left is a prosthetic hook.

I've heard that you can cut a tennis ball in half, put it over the lock of car and somehow unlock it. Yay for car-theft. :D

Anybody here had a car stolen? *raises hand*

Anybody here ever stolen a car? *hand is still in air*

I've been on both sides Preebles and I won't cheer for that one.



EDIT: Y'know, somehow I feel I shouldn't have posted that.

That hotel has a habit of transforming that helipad into whatever suits the celebrity that is willing to be photographed on it. At one point, I think they had Tiger Woods use it as a driving range.

I find launching them from my potato cannon very fulfilling. :D

It would be an interesting place for a pole vault competition..or long jump..

Yay for car theft?

I'm not seriously cheering though, so it's ok though, right? :D

I'm not seriously cheering though, so it's ok though, right? :DYeah Yeah Right, Nobody's serious here. It's all a joke.




Really, Anybody know the statute of limitations on auto theft?

Sure i wouldnt mind playing anyway but it woulld be better for cricket. ;)

Whoops - I just have to duck out and return a c-, uh, tennis ball to someone ...

Bah

Caution is a Boredom Whore

Also looks like a nice place to hit golf balls from.

Whoops - I just have to duck out and return a c-, uh, tennis ball to someone ...If that "tennis ball" looks like an '85 Cavalier, it's mine.

I mean, if tennis balls had doors... or passengers.

'Cos if not, it does now.

The insurance company already paid me on it anyways.

uuuhhh....tennis balls are hollow, it would do as much good as putting a bowl over the lock.

Did anyone also notice its on a man made island. It's also the only building on the island...an isolated hotel on a man made island. Hmm.
