Tate Modern (London) Sides

[verticalzero]

Last Monday 5/2/7 I went to the Tate Modern to check out the slide exhibtion which lasts till April.

 

2 slides are on the 2nd floor, 1 from the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors.

 

The Art Gallery is looking for a perm home for these slides, if you know of anywhere, let them know:

 

A few pic's from London Zoo as well

 

Enjoy the Pic's and in no order:

Oooh fun!!

 

Ed, this may be one time where my hierarchy can be reversed!

 

I've always wanted to get to the Tate, shame I'm not gonna make it there while the slides are there.

I hate you. I read abotu this a while ago in the newspaper and I decided to hate anyone in the london area untill may.

[Canadmos]

Did you like them? Fun? Fast?

 

If you don't mind elaborating...

The best part about those slides is the acoustics.

 

Long hollow tubes that empty out into a hangar-sized hollow room...

EVERYONE hears what you have to say, and a lot of people curse in shock as they ride

Oooh fun!!

haha. you know london is better than manchester really.

 

These slides actually hurt quite a bit, they aren't exactly smooth. I went on them in October and they were a right laugh!

[AlmereStars]

now that's what I call a slide!

The slides are quite bumpy and gives your back a good beating, esp the 5th floor one.

 

They are very fun and depending on what clothes you wear - fast.

Make sure your false teeth are held in.

 

They are all "free" to ride, collect a token from the booking office for a time slot and off you go.

 

Manchester is not that far from London, only a short train trip down the WCML.
