The Official "TPR 2006 UK Tour" Thread!
Hicko replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those vertical slides are awesome. In Cornwall last year at Crealy they had about 4 of them and one of them was about 3 times the height of the one in the update. Seriously dangerous but so much fun -
The Official "TPR 2006 UK Tour" Thread!

I'm guessing by the front page with the Photo updates that they are at Alton Today. Drayton manor Tommorow or Wednesday. Depends how many days they have at Alton. -
A real life "Ghost" Train
Hicko replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's quite funny that you brought this up as I saw the "Most Haunted" episode of BPB last night and they were trying to get in contact with "cloggy" and the rest. There's quite a few other places within the park that are haunted too like the Maxims shop for example. Anyway I think that there's a little more on a thread somewhere on these boards about parks and ghosts. I think Musical Pete added a bit to the story you have brought up. EDIT: Here's the thread. Scroll down near the bottom for BPB. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19610&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 -

Is anybodys home park their favorite?
Hicko replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My home park is about 1/2 mile away but it's only Gullivers World lol. Although they are about to start building a wooden coaster My favorite parks are Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Crealy Adventure Park in Cornwall (Kids park bu LOADS of fun ) -
Another UK Photo TR: Paulton's Park!

Madrid maybe? -
You spend more time on your back on Air than you do on any other flyer, including even the Zamperla ones! IMO, Air spends WAY too much time on your back to be a "flyer" --Robb You are correct but the laying on your back part isn't bad though as it seems to be the only spot on the ride you get any intensity. Although I havn't been on it for 2 years now so it might of changed a bit.

Photo TR: Backstage tour of St.James Park
Hicko replied to viking86's topic in Random, Random, Random
On the subject of Old Trafford they are currently extending it yet again and next season it will have 76,000 seats!! Not bad for a club stadium and it's full every game. Remember that the new Wembley will be 90,000 seats. I can't wait. -
Photo TR: Robb, Elissa, and TPR in Florida!!!
Hicko replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I think he means that he'll have to pay it for the next 3 years if and when he goes back to the US. Basically until he is 25 he'll have to pay an extra amount. -
Photo TR: Robb, Elissa, and TPR in Florida!!!
Hicko replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I love it when people post pictures of the journey there on the plane. It helps build it up and makes me more immersed into the trip report. looking forward to seeing the rest! -
Pleasure Beach Blackpool is my favorite. Been going there since I was a kid so I have many memories. Very closely behind is Crealy Adventure Park in Cornwall. The most FUN I have had at any park. Basically it's just lots of big ball pools and the craziest slides of death you have ever seen. I'm talking 30ft+ vertical slides etc.

One of the best PTR's ever! Nice one -
Remember you have the "awesome " Odyssey at Fantasy Island to ride aswell. Which if I remember correctly was closed when you were all there in 2002? Adam "If it wasn't rough it'd be a good coaster" Hickman.

lol yeah as the caption states in Rob's update you really do have to duck if you are over 6ft. I guess you have to ride it to believe it.

Excellent. I can never get enough of PTR's of Blackpool. Such a special place to me as I've been going there since I was a kid. Many happy memories. I shall be up there myself in early May when the weather should be warmer than it currently is lol. Anyway keep having fun and keep the pictures rolling in

Photo TR - Blackpool Pleasure Beach 2/26
Hicko replied to Shockwave's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Even better with your arms in the air. You feel like your gonna get flung into the sea -
Another vote for Blackpool. But seeing the pictures Ceder Point seems to have the best but sadly I havn't been there.

Attention to all Call of Duty online gamers..
Hicko replied to MiamiBoii4392's topic in Random, Random, Random
Man, COD:UO is the best game of all time. Still play it now from release. COD2 is cool and my clan are 30 wins out of 30 in S&D. It would be nice to have the patch though so we can get custom maps and anticheat -
The PC version does look better but not on your rig. You'll need something more powerfull. And a nice monitor
