The Time Capsule

The Time Capsule is a leisure centre found in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. The complex comprises of a water park, an ice rink, a soft play area and a regular swimming pool. Claims have been made to it being the biggest fun in a million years, but this has yet to be scientifically confirmed.

History

 * Pre-Time Capsule: Thatcher decides that factories and mines are for poor people, and gets most of them to fuck. Long-time industrial areas like Monklands start to diversify into buildings containing not-factories and not-mines.
 * 1989: Monklands Council begins construction work on the Time Capsule. This turns out to be a pain in the arse due to the sheer volume of mine workings underneath Coatbridge.
 * 1991: The Time Capsule opens. Langloan and Summerlee residents celebrate the first opportunity to do something with their leisure time that isn't throwing shopping trolleys into the fountain.
 * 1994: Monklands Council is accused of spending too much money in Coatbridge on facilities like the Time Capsule and not enough in Airdrie, because they're all Catholics. Somehow this happened in the late 20th century and yet nobody involved died of embarrassment.
 * Mid-1990s: The nearby Dundyvan Parish Church burns down, resulting in a cool-looking ruin which is visible from the Time Capsule car park.
 * 2001: Ten years after its grand opening, the Time Capsule has had enough of being pissed in and unsuccessfully tries to poison its patrons.
 * 2010s: Pretty much everything inside the Time Capsule gets ripped out, and replaced with newer and shinier stuff. This means that I have absolutely no idea what it's like inside anymore.
