Yes totally agree, i do fear a seaside location will kill it before it even starts.
A lot depends on if they want to offer accomadation. If they do, i'd presume it'll be haven/pontins/butlins seaside place.
If they don't offer accomadation, then i think a location with good international transport links would be beneficial as it will atract peep's from abroad....
can't imagine many flying to Brum to spend 5 hours with me on a train to western wales!
Brum or Manchester would be wise places i feel.....although ideally located i think I'd have a mental breakdown if it was Rock City......i ay joking.....
