It was one of the COOLIST things I've ever done in my life. I was able to do pretty much every maneuver that I'd seen done in the air shows. NOW, I want the same thing, but in a military jet.

We would stall the plane every angle, that was a Rush! I was never scared! There's alot of places I would love to visit still, I know one day I'll visit those places.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hard call Danadisney. I suppose my favorite is Warwick Castle, because it recreates history including jousting, falconry and living history. I also love Provins in France for that matter too. I enjoyued visiting Nauschwanstein in Germany too (inspired Sleeping Beauty's Castle at DL). And Chantilly is a very special palace, especially the equine museum and the tapestries that also required the artistic style of Sleeping Beauty. Also, I love the castle that I used to look out at while at University, Aberystwyth. I think I must have visited over a hundred now across the UK, Spain, France, Germany and the rest of Europe. Le Chateau De la Belle au Bois Dormant at Disneyland Paris is one of my favs.
