londen

[Dirk_Ermen]

hi all, i'm going with school to londen and we could choose to go to a musical (something i hate). or i could take a walk in oxfordstreet... Well i'm not planning to go to the boring musical, so how about if i can meet someone then there [:D] It's on saturday 15:00u (3pm) that the musical starts, so if i can meet someone there. We can talk about coasters, etc... It's a weekend that i'm going to londen, friday the 26 till sunday 28 november.
on friday i will arrive @ Dover, and go with the bus to Bexleyheath. Somewhere next to londen. We sleep then 2 nights @ guestfamily's... (could be fun [:)]) I don't know more about the trip but it's nothing to do with coasters...

Dirk its London Also you might want to pay a visit to the Tropecarrdo...i think thats how you spell it (someone want to clear that up?) Its a huge indoor amusement place. Basicaly has 4 stories of arcade games. Its also has several motion simulators and what not. But mainly it has a drop ride called The Pepsi Drop. Which is a double decker Intamin ride i beleive. Which is actualy really scary as when you get the the top all you can see its stairways and its looks a hell of a long way down. But is definatly worth it

Theres some pics about half way down ...Trocadero

is that anywhere near oxford street? cause i can't travel in my own to other side london only to ride a intamin freefall[lol]

EDIT: I've looked where it was and it's 1.1 km away from oxford street, like 20 min walking. I'll see if i can propose the idea to go there... [:)]

Londons crap anyway, its like France......only crapper. That city is not an accurate representation of English people, being as like half the people who live there aren't actually English. I've been there twice and that twice too many if you ask me. I mean, while I was there one time, I was hungry and me being me, I decided I wanted to find a fish 'n' chip shop, could I find one..........Could I FU.....no i couldn't. How could it POSSIBLY be the capital of England, when you can't find a fish 'n' ship shop for love nor money, everywhere else in England theres like one on every corner, but in London, no cus that would be to working class for the posh beggars wouldn't it! Most of the people there are proper mongoles as well, most of them wouldn't gove you the time of day, let alone help you if you were being mugged, WHICH I might add, happens to most people in London....so have your whits about you. Or take my advice.......just don't go

Lmao! London's not bad. Except theres no English people there. Well hardly any. Everything is also mega expensive as its the tourist are. Although there are some good things you should go to. Theres this mega arcade which is mega mega big. Near some bridge and London Aquarium .It awesome! Don't forget to ride the London eye. Thats really cool. Theres a big line, but you would be surprised at how fast it goes down. When your at the top everyone looks like little ants. lol

Hope you enjoy your stay Dirk, theres lots to see. I do agree that its not the best representation of England but you've got to visit at least once in your life, if only for the tube (and the pigeons!).

Anyway, enjoy!

Yeah, the tube's quite a thrill cus its so bloody dangerous. "mind the closing doors" BANG! "OUCH! You could have told me BEFORE the door started to close you silly woman!"........well thats my experience anyway [:P]

[Dirk_Ermen]

is that all in the Trocadero? cause that's close to where i come, maybe do we even go to it with the whole class [:)]

Theres alot in the Tocadero and can be fun if you go with mates. I beleive you could just take the tube to Piccadilly Circus and will come out pretty close to the Trocadero. Although come to think about it, taking a class group on the tube isnt a good idea. You get packed in the trains like sardines at the best of times around Piccadilly circus. Im not too good with London, so i couldnt tell you where it is relative to the London Eye etc. Personaly i dont like London that much. Too much pollution and what not, although Soho is always a good area

Ha ha about the tube. Dirk it really is like that if you don't believe us! Trust me. Ive been there. Its real crazy! Theres no where to move at all. Plus English people are quite selfish so they wont move out the way to let you off the trains! Still a great experience though.

Well school does trips to england every year and no problems. At school i have given the idea to go to there, they didn't let us going into the side streets of oxford street, they are too scared that we lost in london... They will contact me if they can find time to go to there... Cause we also to to london bride, buckingham place, Etc...

Well the place, Edge is talking about, sounds like the one in Lecester Square, thats where the arcade is, with the ride that goes up and drops. I've never been on it myself, but that place is always packed. Im not sure if its anyway near where your going Dirk Eirmen, i'll check the london underground tube website out, and see what i kind find out about it, but the chances are, its probably no where near lecester square (I think thats how you spell it lol).

[Dirk_Ermen]

well, if you read my edited post i've seen it was 1.km away from where i came, but maybe we go with the whole class [:)]

Ive been to a similer place to Trocadero, it was a huge shopping mall, and it had a roller coaster running through it, with corkscrews, and loops, very fun. However thats not in london though, but in Malaysia, on the other side of the world, it would be a good idea to replace that free fall ride in Trocadero to a proper roller coaster or something, would be better.
