PortAventura next weekend. ----Hans

Last october during Halloween.... Still the good Goliath!

Great report Marcel! Still need to visit Oktoberfest one day! ----Hans

^ Speaking about the next update.... I finally found some time to post the PortAventura pictures. PortAventura is such an amazing park. They may not have the best coaster selection in the world but now with Shambhala which is probably my new #1 steel coaster. I still need to ride Geforce this year and who knows what the TPR Texas/Midwest trip may bring. Being such a great park it's a shame to see that the operations aren't always that fast. Luckily for us the park offered a quickpass for only 54 euro's per person for the whole stay. So for us that was three days. Quickpass include

I was there last weekend during the F1 event. No sign of RingRacer running though but I heard from an empolyee of Eifeldorf that it failed a test the week before. Hope it will be up and running the first weekend of september. ---Hans

Hi everyone, Last week Benny (groteslurf), Michael and me made a trip to spain. Our original itinerary contained the both Madrid parks, Terra Mitica and PortAventura. Unexpected the both Madrid parks and Terra Mitica seemed to be closed on the beginning of the week. So our park visits were shortened to only Parque Warner and PortAventura. We had a great time though in Pinto, Benidorm (It was Bennydorm during our stay) and Salou. I forgot to bring my camera to Parque Warner so no pictures from that place.

^ This definitaly counts. Thanks for posting. -----Hans

Another video.... Vogel Rok at the Efteling. You are eaten by a giant snake. It's very hard to see while riding but I've found a video with the lights on. Video at 0:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS1wtgcV1Ng

On Winjas Fear you go through a strange kind of animal. See the video at 1:10. Couldn't find a picture. Great thread Robin thanks!

Yes the new screens are awesome. Despite the park being packed the lines of all the major lines moved really fast. That may be the reason why they consider 35 minutes as unacceptable. ---Hans

Hi everyone!!! It was time for my first park visit of 2013. Phantasialand offered a great deal... visiting before april 30th will give you a free ticket for the summer season! Hooray. Too bad many more people had the same idea. The park was packed but Phantasialand was kind enough to extend the opening hours till 19:00. So we still mananged to do all the rides. I also shot some pictures of the new waterride Chiapas an amazing project! Anyway let's just go to the pictures.... The first thing when entering the main entrance. Finally flowers are starting to bloom. Walkin

^ Negative I never had that problem and I don't have that on other Intamin coasters. It's been since they renewed the trains. The padding on the lapbar is a lot firmer. It stays the best coaster on the planet though! ---Hans

They always seem to staple me in. ----Hans

Thanks for posting. Never get tired of EGF pictures!!! Were the lapbars on EGF still bearable after 10+ rides? ------Hans

20/26 Pretty satisfied with that score. ---Hans
