Скачать или смотреть London Funland Trocadero's First ITG Tournament! (April 2005) - In The Groove

This VHS tape was recorded when London Trocadero first received their fresh ITG1 upgrade kit from Roxor.
This video shows the very first UK ITG tournament which took place a week or two afterwards.

The tournament was won by K-Dogg with Afrojunglist coming in 2nd place.

VHS Ripped and edited by s34n. This is a straight PAL VHS rip.
Why is there noise? Resizing the video is a big no-no and I didn't bother with adding borders. I thought leaving them would look kinda retro, plus, borders can be added later if needed.

This video was taken on: 30th April 2005
Location: Funland Trocadero, London, UK

Video taken by Chris Byrne

Players: K-Dogg, Afrojunglist, s34n, N-Doh, Christof, Gabs, Omar, Maxx Storm, Darren, Leon, Manda, Ricky, Real Athlete, Bloodbath Chris, Josh, Wellian, Rashid, Dmoz, Wildfireskunk, Nick and more.

It was so long ago that I no longer have the details.

[Trocadero]
The London Trocadero was an entertainment complex on Coventry Street, with a rear entrance in Shaftesbury Avenue, London. It was originally built in 1896 as a restaurant, which closed in 1965. In 1984, the complex reopened as an exhibition and entertainment space. It became known for the video-game oriented SegaWorld attractions which were added in 1996, and later downscaled and renamed to "Funland" before its closure in 2011. Part of the building was opened as a hotel in 2020.

The complex incorporates a number of separate historic London buildings, including the old London Pavilion Theatre, that have in the past hosted the Palace of Varieties, the New Private Subscription Theatre, the Royal Albion Theatre, the Argyll Subscription Rooms, the Eden Theatre and the Trocadero Restaurant.

The name Trocadero indirectly derives from the Battle of Trocadero in 1823, through the Palais du Trocadéro in Paris, named after the French victory. Since at least 1919, the Trocadero has been abbreviated to the Troc or Chicarito, and under that name it appears in a poem by John Betjeman.

SegaWorld/Funland (1996–2011)

SegaWorld entrance, 1998
The Trocadero Centre received a boost in the late 1990s with the addition of sponsorship from Pepsi, and Sega as an anchor tenant. The launch of SegaWorld London, an indoor theme park occurred on 7 September 1996, which included a large statue of Sonic the Hedgehog over the front entrance. Pepsi sponsored The Pepsi Max Drop and from 1997 the Pepsi IMAX cinema, the first 3D IMAX cinema in the UK. It was also home to the second series of Channel 4's daily reality show The Salon.

However, resultant visitor numbers were poor, and the Guinness Records exhibition closed in the mid-1990s. Following the loss of Sega's sponsorship in 1999, Segaworld became Funland, named after the original arcade that had operated on the basement floor of the building since 1990, and was subsequently reduced in size. The Pepsi-sponsored IMAX cinema closed in March 2000 shortly after the newer London IMAX opened on the South Bank, and the Drop Ride closed around the same time (the Drop Ride was relocated to Funland in Hayling Island, which has no relation to Funland in the Trocadero beyond the name). Remains of old attractions could still be seen around the centre, such as a wall with a gun-barrel motif that used to house the James Bond: License to Thrill ride. The top floors were kept open until autumn 2002, when they were closed and the disused escalator was blocked off with a drinks machine. This was the original entrance to Segaworld when Funland occupied the lower floors. In October 2005, the centre was used as a backdrop for the final scenes of Madonna's "Hung Up" video.
