Title: Our short vacation in Vienna
Post by: Belike on October 10, 2010, 08:18:13 PM
We've been in Vienna(Wien), Austria this weekend and visited Prater, the beautiful amusement park in the heart of the city.
Some pics from the tour:
Near the entrance we've met Mr.Crazy Kong ;D

Nice, I remember that game from a place called Liseberg in Sweden. It was fun to play (throwing a ball in a hole to push the horse to move). Anybody know the name of the game? Thought I never was going to see that agian  :)

The end of your diet ? ;) ;D

I wouldn't call that the "usual" pinballs ! A line-up like that "in the wild" is VERY rare these days ! What was the condition of the games ? Did you play the NBA ? I like it a lot, it's almost a direct copy of Space Jam but who cares :)

that's exactly what i thought as well ;D

nevertheless, thx for sharing your trip with us. although vienna is not too far away from my place, i've never been there. i guess a visit will have to wait until an arcade machine shows up there one day ;)

Just a short break, I didn't want to starve on my vacation! ;D
The pinballs were in surprisingly great condition,  I tried out only Elvis and Addams Family, the NBA  was also there in the Night of Pinballs, I played about 20 games on it! ;)

That sounds like one of the fine culinary treats of our easter neighbours......  ;D ;D ;D

I thought it was an oversized "bolus".

A bolus is a Dutch speciality (from the provence Zeeland), it's basically sugared bread in the shape of a well...you know....

Tastes great and they're very sticky.

Hehehe, you are right, but I woke up at 6 that day, drove 250 kilometers, had a 6 hours long sightseeing tour mostly on foot, made the necessary clothes shopping tour for my Gf., and ate that half pig with 4 beers, so it was the only way I can play! ;D ;D ;D

Looks similar indeed and it tasted also great, so you should forget about Ully's ugly pumpkin, all of you have to taste this if you visit Vienna! :P
