Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!Part 4 - DISNEYLAND PARIS HALLOWEENUsers viewing this topic: No registered users and 1 guest Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!Well I'm still a member of the Brit Crew despite my best efforts to vote myself out. Bad news for me but at least there's the positive of me still being able to go away on weekends with these guys. (Wait, I'm calling THAT a positive?! Times are tough, clearly).
This such weekend was to Paris, France. Seeing as there a few new attractions in the area we decided to an extended weekend that would take us around a few parks culminating of course in a few days at Disney. Burt we'll get to that later. UPDATES: Part 1 - PARC ASTERIX (below) Part 2 - NIGLOLAND Part 3 - WALT DISNEY STUDIOS Part 4 - DISNEYLAND PARK First up we made our way to Parc Astérix. I hadn't visited this park since way back in 2008 with the TPR Europe trip. It's a really nicely themed park with a pretty decent selection of rides. New for me since that visit is the B&M invert, OzIris. I'd heard really mixed things about this one so I was intrigued to ride it for myself. It's a weird ride. I like the length of the ride but as forceless B&M's inverts go I thought this one was pretty tame. It's a shame that not long after this they came out with Banshee, a much more intense (and fun!) invert (I'll get to Banshee in a future trip report. Someday). Still, the park did a pretty good job of theming it. Just don't go mistaking it for Montu, because Montu it is not. Everyone thought it would be really funny if we all rode Gouderix so I got in line with them but managed to pull the old Larry Meisel "walk straight through the train to the exit" trick. No way was I touching the POS again. Given the reaction of the group I stand by my choice. My favourite ride in the park is still the super cool Mad House. It's more the pre-shows and the theming than the Mad House itself but man, it's a lot of fun from start to end! Anyway, I didn't take a great deal of photos this day but rest assured there's much more to come in future updates. Enjoy...

Tsk tsk. I was hoping for a New Hotness/Mini East Coast trip. I guess I'll have to read and enjoy this one, for now. TPDave is still an idiot. Good to see.
Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!Hold the presses. Divv is writing a trip report in a timely fashion!
Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!TPDave was obviously suffering from a Gouderix Concussion when he went for the non-alcoholic beer!
Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!
Sorry to admit, Divv - But after a recent trip to the Brit Crew's home country - I gotta say that airport of yours in Manchester definitely gives CDG a run for my least favorite airport in Europe! Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!^The north is a wild and desolate wasteland to be avoided at all costs. LHR is where it's at!
And to all my friends enjoying the thought of my accidentally sober meal, I could explain myself but no one would believe me and it wouldn't be as funny. I'm glad you got your kicks. Bastards. Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!
I've heard that before about Manchester airport. In the three and a half years I lived there I only flew from it two or three times. I didn't have any huge issues but like TP would say, it's not T5! With this visit to CDG on the other hand... It took an hour from the plane landing to me meeting up with the rest of the Brit Crew. A hellish place. Re: Photo TR: The Brit Crew in Paris!Good report Divv, having 7 people in the Russ bus for the trip to Parc Asterix was definitely a highlight for me
