Tim's TPR Europe 2008 photo trip report.
hansrubens replied to darklingscribe's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
The thing Holle Bolle Gijs is saying is something like this. Garbage here, garbage here, Come on I like it so much, Come on now, Garbage here, Thank you, Oh delicious, Merci, Garbage here, Garbage here, Search some more, come on, Thank you, Delicious. Now in dutch maybe you can hear it. Papier hier, Papier hier, Vooruit ik vind het zo lekker jongens, vooruit nou, Papier hier, dank je wel, oech lekker, merci (french), papier hier, papier hier, zoek nou nog eens wat vooruit nou, danke schon (german), fijn hoor heerlijk. This is one of the things De Efteling is famous for. Just like longneck and the Python. Everybody in Holland knows it. -

Photo TR Efteling and Plopsa Indoor
hansrubens replied to hansrubens's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Part II - Plopsa Indoor Hasselt (Belgium) After De Efteling I moved on to Belgium were my sister and her family stayed to celebrate their holiday. We visited Plopsa Indoor on saturday. This is the small version of Toverland I guess. Ok here we go.... And of course there was a car crash. Slide Overview of the indoor part taken from the slide This is a fun ride. It had more air than I thought it would have. Bumper boats. Hey where did TPR go? There were only 10 cars and there was no ride operator so it was hard to get a car cause nobody was getting out. They kept on driving for hours. New Beatle Outside there were Electric cars. Whoooo. The most part of this coaster is in the dark. Lifthill It was a real milestone. Credit #175 Go girls. Bumper cars. The indoor part was nicely themed. The Restaurant was way too big for this park. We all could ride it. Hooray for the caroussel Hey she is stealing our kid. There is Kwebbel Samson and Gert the founders of Plopsa (studio 100) Yeah she is tall enough to ride. Next to Plopsa Indoor is a huge sports/music complex. Were here. -

Yeah I agree that europe has the best themed parks but I wish we had some more "big" coasters in europe. -

I actually think that the trains are a bit closer to the track. But I didn't feel any difference on the transition to the corkscrew. I think those are always the most painfull parts of an Arrow/Vekoma. Due to the fact that I am a bit tall those new trains are horrible. --Hans -
Hi everyone, I got the opportunity to visit my brother on his holiday and we went to De Efteling last thursday. Even though the weather wasn't that good it still was a bit crowdy. There were a lot of school trips. But then again the lines at De vliegende hollander and Python were just 25 minutes. Plopsa Indoor posted on page 2. On to the pics. Python. Fata Morgana Vliegende Hollander and Pegasus. Caroussel building Boatride The hotel with Vogelrok Have I mentioned that this park is landscaped very well. Now some overview pics taken from the Flying Island. Pegasus. You get some nice airtime here. It goes up really fast but when it reaches the top it almost comes to complete stop. When you want to get rid of your gum just go ride Pegasus and put it on one of those trees. Wooden coaster Pegasus. Dark station pic. I love this ride since the day it opened. Just a five minute wait. Fata Morgana They were singing all the way up. Enjoy. Pirana theming Do I have to fit through there? Next up. How was your ride. Bob You can see the speed in this pic. Here we go. Happy riders? Those are my first POV pictures on a coaster. Someone's bag got stuck in the train. Bobbaan Beer!!! I like the way the smoke turned out. Splash 3,2,1... De vliegende Hollander ^ Inside the same building you can also find Diorama. Inside The grand Caroussel building. It's so beautiful. Sinterklaas. Doesn't this count as a coaster? Blur. I do like this ride. Droomvlucht. Lame Volk van Laaf POV Stupid Loekie Help me!!! Getting cooked. Things heated up at Monsieur Canibale. That bird swallowed this coaster. Whaa a big bird. ^ In De Efteling you see many of these statues. Those trains are man powered. They have some real kiddy rides too. Having fun on Polka Marina. Python's station Corkscrew time. Second Python through it's first loop. At least we had a warm welcome. See the place was packed with school children. The main entrance building is huge.

Most Overrated coaster?
hansrubens replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
SROS -SFA This ride was a real let down. I was really excited about this one but compared to the other Intamin hyper/Mega coasters this one is really bad. -

Favorite Arrow Coaster
hansrubens replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Don't know if Phantom's Revenge counts as a real Arrow. My 2nd favorite Arrow must be Loch Ness Monster -
Yeah I agree with you but the circuits in europe are much safer than the circuits in the USA. But safe is in most of the times also more boring. In the mid 90's they just keep on adding Chicanes and stuff to slow the cars down and now we have the most high tech circuits were they can't overtake anymore.
