Photo TR: Flying LA to Melbourne on an A380
Hicko replied to Cameron's topic in Random, Random, Random
When I flew to Beijing in 2003 the Austrian Airlines A330 had this feature. Was pretty cool when landing (While looking out for the Great Wall too ) -
I'll stick with Opera. The best browser by far.

Theme Park Review's 2008 Asia Tour!
Hicko replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was over there in 2003 for 2 weeks and I had my picture taken by locals about 50 times. When not having a picture taken you just get stared at. Felt like I was famous for 2 weeks lol. I guess since the Olympics and all the tourists it's calmed down a bit as it's getting more normal to see westerners now. -

Mutainyu section? If so I've been on that alpine coaster and it's awesome. Watch out for the random chinese on the mountain telling you to brake lol -

Looking forward to these updates. I spent a bit of time in Beijing in 2003 and really miss the place. Have fun -
Best British costers
Hicko replied to Shadow1095's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd go with that. Although Grand National comes a very close second to the wild mouse. It's about time we actually got some new decent coasters around these parts. It's starting to get quite embarassing -

Goose Fair UK pic and video TR.
Hicko replied to tinhead's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Never thought that the place that I was born (Hucknall) would ever be on TPR lmao. Glad you enjoyed it. I used to go to the Goose Fair every year when I lived in Nottingham. -
Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. Must get back to there next year

Blackpool Pleasure Beach Photo TR.
Hicko replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I enjoyed the style of that trip report. Photos with a paragraph or two underneath. Looks like it was a good day. I will be there in 2 weeks for a weekend. -

Photo TR: Europation Domination with Don and Monica

Wicksteed park, Kettering -
Great pics. Thanks for posting them. Every year I see these parks in mainland Europe/Scandanavia and they are getting better and better. World class even. Our parks here in the UK are getting worse and starting to "fall beind". Cheap air travel here in Europe though is starting to make even the general public go for weekends away at places like Europa Park instead of Alton Towers. They need to stop thinking that were an isolated island and the custom will not go anywhere else and start thinking or realising that people are now starting to go elsewhere. PS Just consumed a couple of Stella Artois. Hence the passionate post lol.

Was the water vortex working? -
UK Photo TR: live2tell75 (the other Eric Johnson)
Hicko replied to live2tell75's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Everytime I see pictures of the funhouse at Southport it always makes me sad because it makes me think of the Funhouse in Blackpool. Basically for anybody that doesn't know Valhalla is built on the site of the legendary funhouse that burned down in 1991. Blackpools funhouse was bigger and better in everyway. Sadly there arn't many pictures on the net of it. Very sorely missed. -
UK to get a New Theme Park
Hicko replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yep, I live about half a mile away and it's being attached to the existing Theme Park. Progress is slow though. Should be good to take the little one there though. -

I thought by the itinery on the front page they were at PWH Today? I could be wrong. I love the updates but I understand that you are extra busy this trip and I appreciate all the effort you put in to getting the updates online. -

Maybe they are, Maybe it's a secret side trip like Coney Beach. Maybe i'm wrong. Maybe.
