Hey Chuck! Yeah the guide was awesome, he made the trip to The Tower so much fun. Thanks for the Haunted Inn photo. I'm glad you were able to recover some of your photos. I look forward to seeing your dark ride TR. I had a blast riding all of those cool and very wierd dark rides with you. Glad you got home ok. I know it's going to take a while for me to get back into my old routine of life. Defintley I will keep in touch, I got to get back to Busch in Virgina sometime. And if you want to go to any Florida park let me know. I'm only 30 minutes from Busch and 90 minutes from Disney, Universal and Sea World! Taiko Happy

I wish Ted & I would've known you before the trip. We could've had a blast hanging out in London!

Hopefully, see you in a couple of weeks!


Hey Catrina! I thought the same thing. On the next trip we will have to meet up and see the sights together. I look forward to hopefully meeting up with you and Ted at Busch and/or Adventure Island next month!

So after Chessington, we took our 4 hour drive to Wales. And as an unexpected treat, we made a stop at Coney Beach Amusement Park. Little did we know how scary this place would be! Let's just say that Coney Beach made me realize how much I take my beautiful local Clearwater/Gulf/Tampa Bay Area beaches for granted! I was able to get in one extra coaster credit. I didn't do the other 2 kiddie coasters mainly because a few individuals broke one of them! Taiko Laughing A few of us did take in the Ghost Train, which was pretty crapy, but that was it's charm. Taiko Rolls Eyes Coney was scary!

I missed the "Viagra" gag at Chessington. Taiko Laughing The Coney Beach Ghost Train was, indeed, unnerving, but at least they provided plenty of fire-exit signs (perhaps to cover holes in the walls).

Hey Eric, nice photos! That museum looks very cool, is it actually called the "British Museum"?? Looks like an ancient history museum to me! Laughing

Some funny photos in there, I loved the Viagara book.

Looking forward to more 8)

Nice PTRs so far, Eric. It was good hanging out with you again for a bit. It seems like the trip was so long ago (and I'm still going thru the aftermath of the trip over in Finland right now!)

Glad to see a few people got to see me getting my credits on the funhouse Taiko Happy Looking forward to the rest of the pictures!

Oakwood was a fun day. First of all, it is in the middle of nowhere! But a gorgeous nowhere! We had a great day from an hour of ERT on Speed and Megaphobia, lunch and a photo walkback of Megaphobia complete with wild sheep!
