Which ones?

Fixed now.

Had to look at thread in incognito mode, as everything looked ok for me.

Relinked up now

I'm in, and can confidently say I did reasonably badly!

TheValeyard

I know all the locations I think

Just need to put my thinking hat on for couple of the more detailed ones.

That was very tough. I need to lie down.

I'm in.
may not have sent the answers the way you wanted Ted, you updated the OP!

Since I discovered this forum a few weeks ago I realised I’m nowhere near as smart as I thought I was. This thread reinforces that

Ted_YNWA

Just as a reminder, it is what the attraction is, not the city/location it is in

Ahhh Ted!
You ask the location in the questions! I'll have to submit answers again 2moro.
Maybe clarify in the questions? You have mentioned location, a lot!

Answers sent.

This is much tougher than I thought it would be. I know about half of them, the rest were just guesswork.
And I'm terrible with airport codes, can't even remember the ones of airports I've been to!

Three More Big Sleeps

I'm in, Ted, guesses to follow this afternoon. (A lot of the IATA codes will mostly be a shot in the dark, though :mad:)

Shout out to Bubbly over in the "Guess The Location" thread in CVP&L for the link to here.

Ah Jaysus, thought I was doing ok, never going to get the airport names correct.

Will have mine in shortly.

That wasn't clear in the question. If you've already submitted the cities I think that should be enough tbh.

Ahhh jaysis Ted
You're killing me.
New answers going in soon......

Ted_YNWA

The airport and the city are one and the same for the most part.

Zaph

I'll update my airport answers and I'll fire them in later.

So, not the official name of the airports then?

If the answer is Heathrow, that is the answer not London.

As I've made a royal mess of this. City will do, unless it is a particular one in that city.

Ted,

Very questionable guesses submitted.

Not vaguely related to any pontential answer here (I think), but I'm a huge fan of sporcle.com. It's a sad state of affairs when you copy the word "Massachusetts" to your clipboard beforehand because (a) it might come up as an answer and (b) you're nearly fifty years old and you still don't know how to spell "Massachusetts".

* Connecticut has an unexpected 'c' in it, too

tricky D

Stirring further. One of the city's has an actual real name that most westerners wouldn't have a clue about, nevermind the airport name itself being an almost no-hope-of-getting tongue-twister. Then there's the other one in that general area which is a new airport with us having little chance of knowing the names of it or its predecessor.

I put the city not the airport name. I’ve since looked up all the answers so I can’t really resubmit. Was never gonna win anyway but I’ll fight tusk for the wooden spoon.

Ted_YNWA

I set this up while also "at work".

Ended up doing nothing right in the end. Will try not to use the red penX too much when correcting.

Don't be too hard on yourself Ted, that's our job.

Seriously though, putting together quizzes is never easy, so we do appreciate all your hard work.

Ted_YNWA
