I'm still pretty sure it's in Shanghai. The pants building is the bluish one with the white patch on the side with something that looks a lot like a psychedelic tail on it.

The ferry reminds me of the one's in Istanbul.

Me too. But I can't find a match yet!. Andthere were tons of ferries along the Bund, and there are ferries to/in Mallorca as well...

I have the HD Intro caps, It is just going to take me a while to get them up, cant do them right now. :(

Despite the fact that ferries from Mallorca mostly go to Barcelona - where teams can catch the Talgo to France -, none of the pics I found matches the cap we have. All the ferries are also painted with the companies colors and logos on their boards what doesn't seem the case in the one we have.

I live in Istanbul at the moment and I can confirm that ferry is from here, there is so many different types of them going around the city.

Well the ferry in the screen caps is NOT designed for open ocean. it is far too small and low draft for that. That is why I thought of Istanbul, across the Bosphoros. But after looking about a 2,000 pics of the ferries and water taxis in Istanbul....not anything even close. Not anything close in Shanghai, Bangladesh, Moscow or Amsterdam. Except for the funny ramp on the front, it does look like one of the Amsterdam tour boats, but it seems to large for that to me.

The ferry in the screen cap would fit in one of those Mallorca ferries!!

I did a search on Istanbul sightseeing tour companies and many offer Bosphoros tours and had several similar boats. I also saw a small pic of that island that teams went to in TAR7 and it had one of those type boats pulled up along side the island. So my guess is a sightseeing tour boat, not just a ferry.

In the first few frames you can see another ferry and what looks like a mosque.

The bridge on 0:16 is Suramadu Bridge. It's the bridge that connects the island of Java and Madura in Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong. :tup:

Good job Slowhatch. Those Istanbul sightseeing tour operators offer lunch and dinner cruises up and down the Bosphoros.

Slowhatch, there's a "Disk'o" on Luna Park in Coney Island, but I can't find a pic that matches with the cap; but I'm still looking for.

This is a better pic of it, it's from a Disk'O on Steel Pier, in Atlantic City.
