Shambhala, hypercoasters dream

https://www.flickr.com/photos/cubicgarden/44745706101/in/album-72157594191989581/ I certainly have a love for B&M Hypercoasters like Shabhala in Port Adventura. Currently the 3rd highest in Europe at 249.3 ft. I assume we don't have any in the UK due to the massive amount of space it requires? https://twitter.com/cubicgarden/status/1038154891959656449 Somewhere between getting food and[...]

I found this in @[email protected]

If you’re a host and you have any type of surveillance device in or around a listing, even if it’s not turned on or hooked up, we require that you indicate its presence in your House Rules. We also require you to disclose if an active recording is taking place. If a host discloses the device after booking, Airbnb will allow the guest to cancel the reservation and receive a refund.
