Photo TR : Italian themeparks 4/29 - 5/3/2008
Groteslurf posted a topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Unlike last year, when we included Mirabilandia in our schedule, we (my oldest daughter and I) decided this year to stay near the Gardalake and only visit Gardaland & Movieland Studios. More TR parts to follow later on. The exit of I Corsari must be the one thing at the park they forgot to theme. I Corsari : inside there is one of the most amazing darkrides in Europe. Gardaland's lockers policy. Why didn't SFMM think about this. Sequoia Adventure shot : this must be one the most pointless coasters ever. Airtime hills. My arm got stretched in the meantime. Dare I say it ? It's actually my favorite coaster in Gardaland. The amazing Ortobruco Tour coaster. Some of the flat rides. ^ Coca Cola cooling station. La Valle del Re : an average darkride. Most of the time it feels like a simulator ride. In the building, there is a great 4D ride. Time Voyagers. Magic Mountain and Sequoia Adventure. Blue Tornado : Gardaland's SLC Fuga and the Jungle Rapids. ^ Mammut taken on the Flying Island. Mammut has 3 lifthills. ^ The rides is very average though. Well themed as everything in Gardaland. Next up : Mammut Splash. Good thing (imo) is that you don't get very wet. ^ ^ It's a great ride. Fuga really has impressive theming. Us on Fuga. As you can see I don't have very long arms. First attraction of the trip : Fuga Da Atlantide. ^ My daughther couldn't resist. ^ ^ Gardaland entrance This day was a normal weekday and although I feared the worse at the entrance, there were only light crowds in the park. Except for Mammut, all rides were walk ons. On Wednesday we decided to visit Gardaland. The view right in front of our hotel. We stayed in a hotel in Peschiera del Garda. at about 3 kms from Gardaland and 7 from Movieland. These were our wheels in Italy : a Fiat Panda. My daughter called it 'our rollerskate'. After getting stuck in traffic jams near Brussels for 90 minutes, we arrived at the gate when boarding just started. As we checked in online we got a free priority pass and although we arrived at the gate only 25 minutes before take off, we still could board before the other 90 % of the passengers. This was one of the 2 times we got a 'fast pass' during this themepark holiday. The 2nd one was on our flight back. -

Does anyone use RSS feeds?
Groteslurf replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes I use them although to a limited extend. I'm subscribed to a news site, and a few themepark websites. I think it would be great to get new TPR frontpage alerts through RSS but especially new forum topic alerts via RSS would be a brialliant feature. -
From the Yes or No game : That happened because here a bungee jump actually is also called a benji jump. Still, this was a stupid mistake and as I still remember having made that mistake, I must have felt pretty dumb

In 80 minutes I'll be leaving for the airport for my flight to Italy later today.

Siam Park - Waterpark in the Canary Islands
Groteslurf replied to Lincow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That must be a cool ride. Also, I would have no problem to ride this slide because you end up in a pool in stead of the 10 cms of water where most of those slides end in. -
Opening Day of "Mammut" - Tripsdrills cute Woodie
Groteslurf replied to captain's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
That indeed seems to be a great coaster. Especially the misttunnel at the end is very surprising. -
No. Have you ever been on EGF ?

The Contract : 8/10 Good movie and actors. The story was excellent and had me focussed the whole movie. Only the ending was kind of a bummer.

Great TR Hans. That ride op of Goliath is indeed the best. I sometimes wonder where he's getting the energy to be that enthusiastic all day long.

I'm just back from hospital. My youngest daughter was hit by a bike yesterday afternoon and broke her leg. She had to stay one night in hospital, so since she's only 4, I stayed with here last night.

The Village : 6/10 Interesting story but I just don't like the atmosphere of the movie.
