cfc Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I wished I'd seen the bumper go karts, too--very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos, Hanno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoasterkid Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hanno's report has started! Very nice. Paris is definitely on my must visit list. Those bumper go-karts look beyond cool. They would be a hit with every Nascar fan in America for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Was that an optical illusion or was the second tour bus a short bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divv3k Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 ^ The second tour bus was a chariot of the Gods! Loving the photos Hanno. Can't wait to see the rest. Especially Movie Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like maybe Glaryingly Odd Deviate Schoolbus - just stirring. Jes was saying he was on the rowdy bus which I assume was the chariot. Hanno hasn't unveiled the photos most of us guys look forward to, or is it all PC on TPR now? To think in 3 weeks at exactly this time I'll be getting it together to head to the airport.

Jes was saying he was on the rowdy bus which I assume was the chariot. Actually, we only had the short bus for a few days. Then we got the luxury VIP bus. It seriously said "VIP" on it.

Beeja Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Woohoo! I've been looking forward to this report and I'm very happy that you started "working" on it, Hanno! The first part is already looking good, very good actually. I really love your candid shots, the natural expression on people's faces riding coasters is so hilarious! I hope you got plenty more where that came from! I can't wait to see the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
