Funflyer

It's nice to hear first hand information from someone who has flown in both tunnels! Your experience is just as I had imagined (possible difference beeing very marginal and no noticeable difference sizewise when flying). I agree that debating over the size is unnecessary. That is why I raised the question... to STOP the debate! However, I feel people are not debating... just curious. The ones debating are the tunnels! (by claiming to be bigger than others). To put my question in other form: which tunnel currently has accurate promotional information on their website? I am glad you have them! I wish we'll get one here as well. Even a bit smaller one. Peace, Juri

Actually, Bedford does give more detailed figures. 16.47 feet (4.95 meters). http://www.bodyflight.co.uk/faqs/ From the colourful answers in this thread, one could imagine this issue beeing a taboo and that there are people thinking this sort of question should not be raised. Again, I wasn't seeking for information to judge one beeing better than the other. Just curious because THEY BOTH DECLARE THEMSELF AS THE BIGGEST! Lot of people thinking about this, because the difference seems to be so marginal. But if it's a taboo... well, let them keep thinking then! Since any confirmation about the XP size has not been given, one might think the information on their website is accurate and therefore BEDFORD IS BIGGER! And even more likely, THEY BOTH ROCK!

I never said one was better than the other, Please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you did. I was just curious about the issue. Maybe it sounded something else that I intented, but after all that's not suprise since my English is what it is. Sorry! And yeah, I absolutely NEVER have any fun when I (try to) fly...

I didn't ask which one is better, as I also believe that there shouldn't be a significant difference resulting from the size. Though I am curious to know which tunnel currently has the title of beeing the largest. Even more so, because the difference seems to be so marginal. Anyway, I got confused with the 16.47 feet, as I am used to the metric system. Does this .47 mean 4 inches and 7/10 if an inch or 47/100 of an feet? Both of them result Bedford beeing larger, if XP is exactly 16 feet an 4 inches.

Actually, this is interesting. Which is bigger? They both (Bedford and XP) announce themself to be the biggest tunnel in the world. At least according to their websites. On Bedford's website is told to be 16.47 feet in diameter and XP announces 16'4" in diameter. In anyway, I am hoping to visit both of them as soon as my budget doesn't look so weak.

Hey, it was worth posting here. I got an answer! To be opened sometimes march-april. Yesss!!!

I have tried to get some info as well... with no luck! They just stopped putting any updates on the website. I also sent an email to the info address and a PM to the guy who promoted the tunnel on this website some time a go (I think his alias was Cromoi)... no answers! Let's see...

Have been waiting for this! I will definitely visit your tunnel later this year. -Juri
