Which is why if need be, we’d use the larger gate that they have at the side of the barriers for people in wheelchairs.

We’d have to be wary of the crowds, but I don’t know how practical it would be to walk or bus between some of the locations. London in the Summer, in a flightsuit with a 30+ pound Proton Pack, will definitely be a warm trip in the best of conditions.

Can I make a vote at this early stage for some of this to be filmed?

yes, if you filmed us doing different things, and after edit it into a GB montage :slight_smile: that be great.

also would it be possible to move this thread to our site, http://www.theukghostbusters.co.uk, that way every post gets put in order. and no one misses one on either site.

EDIT: i have now moved this to our site, heres the link http://theukghostbusters.ownforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=31&p=131#p131

Wow being a moderator is fun, Ben when i left here i was but the learner now i am the master, sry moderator lol :cool:

There are members here that ant part of the UKGB’s so lets keep things open to both forums

I agree with Geordi. Having too many threads confuses everyone and having it on our site excludes A LOT of people. I’ll lock the topic on our site.

yer shoulda explained better, for some reason some of our members cant join or log on gbfans, so as this thread moved on i was gonna keep updating, the thread on our site, to keep everyone informed.

and vice versa update this thread with there posts,

Mark, up to you, but can you unlock it, i had good intentions. i wanted to do a better job at organising this than Lisa

Once everything’s organised, it will be announced on our site. For now, it’s locked.

Eeep…

I was just throwing that out as an idea, It might be difficult as I don’t live anywhere near london.

Or own a videocamera.

OK then Mark fair enough.

Kamachi, lol sry i assumed you wanted to film us. hopefully there will be plenty of good pictures took. and if some1 else wants to film there more than welcome to.

Rob from UKGB is bringing his fiance along, also dressed in gear, but she is 5 months pregnant and he would like to keep the walking to a minimum,

based on Bens plans, if half we walk and half we travel, that should be cool anyway.

Meeting place? i like bens plans, but id opt for the london eye to be the meeting point, reason being, if il start time is 11 or 12 we want to avoid changing of the guard, thats the time they do it in windsor. and its right next door to the movieum, then over the bridge to Big ben, then down to buckingham Palace, wave at the queen, from then on follow Bens plans.

Everyone agree?

It’s actually Geordi’s suggestions of locations, I just tidied them up into a logical route using the geography and transport links. :slight_smile:

I actually also had a thought about starting points… and in some ways I wondered why HMV shouldn’t be where we kick things off, seeing as it is in benefit of the game promotion. Maybe spend between a half hour to a hour there, then maybe make our way down to Trafagar Square and Parliament. An idea to consider, anyway.

It would allow people to pick up a copy of the game and have some sort of ward who would travel with us look after them, and if people decided not to buy a copy there then it’d be no problem.

oh right lol,

yer Ben your suggestion is as good as any, i want everyone to have an input, and together the best solution will appear,

as far as i know there should be plenty of people there to carry bags, ie wifes and girlfriends LOL we shall just call it shopping, keep em happy lol.

AnyHow,

The main man Elwood, is getting offical backing for this, so all plans here will be worked around Elwoods results.

edit: plans have failed unfortunatley as they have already got a plan themselves :frowning:

back to our idea

man I’ve been away too long… for some reason I had this London thing pencilled in for the 27th (Sat)

If it’s a week prior I’m going to have to miss out … AGAIN

D’oh!

Dan thats a right gutter, hopefully we may be able to do something for the release of the games on the other systems aswell.

Well if your gonna do this, and if I’m not cutting anything at the time I may be able to come an film you guys, got an XL2 lying around.

hey gaz, if ya can that would be great.

ok so whos going to this, i need a rough headcount for the movieum!

plus lets stick to geordis plans then make that the official order.

start times is going to be 9.00am ?

9’s a bit early,

I was thinking more like 10.30/11

how do! i will def be there with big stupid camera, hope i dont get mugged! my train wont get there till 10.40 (if its not delayed) and then ive got to get from st pancras to where ever we are meeting! i suggest we have a walk around so i can take some pics with landmarks in and then find a nice weatherspoons for some grub and a beer seeing as im coming all the way from south yorkshire! i havent been to london for years so im counting on you guys to give the guided tour (and point out the nice pubs, could we find out if there are any haunted ones that would make some great photos!) Are there any firehouses too? someone needs to bring a toy ecto-1 for ‘close ups’ and if someones got an inflatable slimer that would be sweet! that enough ideas yet?lol!

Who’s driving in? Any recommended places to park? I will have to leave at around 3pm…

There’s one on the road from Parliament to Trafalgar Square that I stopped at with my University course two years ago. Was definitely a nice place… and oddly had a playing card stuck to the ceiling - and this was one of those 20 foot high ceilings!

Mark, I only have one recommendation for parking in London: Don’t even try. :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, I don’t know the capitol enough to know if there are any good spots… but I’m concerned about parking if you had to settle for a street-side meter rather than a multistory because I don’t think you can buy several hours worth of time on those, could you?

Edit: Okay, after checking flickr, if they’re all handled the same, the street-side meters chare £1 per hour, 20p for 12 minutes.
