Some pictures in our tripreport. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=585442

So we were up for our second day of Hershey Park. Only to ride Fahrenheit. Well as the most of you will know by now it got stuck on a testrun in the cobraroll and I didn't get the oppurtunity to ride it as we were leaving at 2 o clock heading for Knoebels. Here are some pictures. It seems like such a great ride. Too bad... This was at about 2 o clock. It didn't like they were going open it up today so we were heading to Knoebels. Pulling through has started Getting the cable installed ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Getting the pulley's installed a crane showed up at around noon. After a few hours talking... When it was testing I already thought it wass crawling through that cobraroll After a few seconds I saw that train we got send away by some park cops. But hey what the heck is that. I can't wait for it to open. After two seconds we got in line. Well that line isn't to bad. Queuing up before opening of the park.

Day 7, may 23, Hersheypark Missed out credit. ^ Twistiness Overview Second element Out of the second element Comming over the top hat Launch Dualload station Best coaster in the park.... well up till now. ^ The Comet. Taking a little break. Some nice live entertainment Through the loop Loop Lifthill For a Schwartzkopf it's a very good ride. Sooperdooperlooper Good Wrong ^ Racing. ^ The layout is very impressive. Lighting racer. I rode it two times and won two times. Waterpark First drop Millennium Flyer trains Really a good coaster The Wildcat. Yeah I'm still trying to take a good picture and smile at the same time Ahhh Meat. Actually we made it to the station but then we decided not to ride. Too wet. Nah.... Seems like a nice coaster Don't know what to expect from rollersoaker. Prior to it's first drop it has a helix. ^ Some zero g goodness. great. The Great Bear was just... It still had some happy riders. Although it was closed to the public, It was running the whole day. Tomorrow we will get the credit First to Fahrenheit Sweet

As promised the first 5 pictures of Kennywood. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Day 6 may 22 Kennywood. After a 400 km drive from Niagara Falls we arrived at noon at Kennywood. We thought that the park would be dead on a weekday in may but it wasn't. Special thanks to guest relations for the free admission. I have some problems with uploading the pictures... sorry for that. I'll fix the first 5/6 pictures tomorrow. The Exterminator was a type of Wild Mouse/spinning coaster. Not really worth the 1 hour wait. Yeah Phantoms Revenge. Hey what's that in the back. It's my new favorite Arrow (Morgan) This coaster got it all: Speed, airtime and industries. Anyway it's a great coaster. Was it always so smooth even when it had inversions. Right out the station you plunge down into a ravine. That is so true. Hi Beeja ^ Double turnaround at the entrance

Day 5, may 21 Canadas Wonderland. It was a very cold day only 9 degrees Celsius. Anyway we could do multiple rides on Behemoth cause the park was dead. The trims on Behemoth were still off so we got plenty of air especially in the back. Although they kept the last row closed. Canadas Wonderland was bigger than that I thought it would be. A lots of flats that i've never seen anywhere else. On to the pics.... Entrance Time Warp is a flying coaster by Zamperla and it was a very weird Experience. Train on first drop. Station pic. In the back of the train we got air from the top till the bottom of the first drop. Behemoth I've never seen such a flat ride part 1 Flying position Loading position It was very uncomfortable to me. The good Vortex. It seems they copied some of the ride names of KI. I've never seen such a flat ride part 2 Somebody had puked in it. Unlike the Vortex at KI this one is very good. The first part of the ride is up a big canyon. Nuff said. The Bat The fly a mack wild mouse That first drop was pretty fun. Just another credit (maybe) Mine Train by Mack I've never seen such a flat ride part 3 Although it looks very dangerous it was really nice. This was my very first Togo Stand up I've never seen such a flat ride part 3 It beat the crap out of me. The Wild Beast It was just a SLC but this one was extreme rough Flight Deck. Hey that sounds familiar It was just a SLC but this one was extreme rough Flight Deck. Hey that sounds familiar Entrance of Ghoster Coaster. The surroundings of this ride were pretty neat but the ride itself was a bit rough ^ Last coaster of the day. Extremely rough especially the last helix. ^ I've never seen such a flat ride part 4. Yeah I know I must had to wait till it operated but nobody did dare to ride it in the afternoon. (Groteslurf posted it while operating on page 5)

CP day two.... I'll just post some TTD close ups. On our way from Cedarpoint to the Niagara Falls we passed Waldameer. We couldn't resist it to have a brief look so I shot a few pictures of Ravine Flyer 2 too. TTD close up ^ Later that day we arrived at the Niagara falls But anyway we had to choose between a full day at Cedarpoint or just one coaster. Too bad we couldn't ride it We arrived at Waldameer. It seems like a great coaster ^ ^ It was very impressive

Additional Cedarpoint pictures. What a rush. Trying to take another few rides tomorrow. Zoomed Launch TTD Spiral up Launch Wicked Twister Mantis Not better than Chang though Mantis was quite Ok Comming back Great drop Only the red side was in use. It was only running one side. Gemini Demon Drop was my first ride on a first gen drop tower and I really liked it. Some great moments of air. I almost lost my camera on one of those hills. Blue Streak was great Blue Streak I didn't take any pictures of that part of the track. Drop and first hill were just fine. But then the horror started. SO with the good experience on Corkscrew I thought I could ride Magnum And it worked out just fine. It didn't hurt me at all. With the "how to ride an arrow coaster" manual fresh in mind I got on Corscrew. Skyhawk was short but sweet Random But it was really a nice ride. Just like Son of Beast I expected a really rough ride. Next stop was Mean Streak. ^ Random Theming Bit of overview. Rode it two times today. Well there is some air on this hill. Maybe it lacked on airtime What to say about such a great ride. Millennium Force was first on the list. It was great with good ride operations all day. Entrance

^ Additional pictures Last pic of the day. Rugrats runaway reptar Scoobie the ride. A fun shooting darkride. Those thing seems really be popping out in the last few years. Loop Firehawk Random flatride The part of the ride that was in the forest was more like coastering down than floating. Log flume Launch Great ride Waiting area of Flight of fear Poppin out It was fun but no more than that. Launch Backlot stunt coaster Lifthill shot Racing Overview and a blue side. There is a red.... The best coaster of the park. A great coaster maybe a bit rough but hey it's 29 years old. But that couldn't stop me from riding it First the train had to be repaired The Beast I only got the sign from Adventure Express. Going up Lifthill Batwing When youre going through this corkscrew it really starts to hurt. But it was disappointing I expected something from Vortex Drop zone. It feeled like it was going endlessly up. Monster Good fun especially in front seat Helix I found it a great coaster Son of Beast ^ ^ Project 2009 Close up We had to walk a while before we entered the station Next stop Flight Deck But it was quite good and forcefull I expected that it would be rough First off to Invertigo Front view of the park

Next stop was Six flags Kentucky Kingdom. Our first US Six flags experience on the trip. Bad operations all day. Pictures !!!! Seasonpass processing with an 1 hour wait. and the last one Loop First drop and it was a great ride It was my very first standup coaster Chang Restaurant 2 out of the three time we were standing in line it broke down. Deluge was very cool and wet. They were running only three trains and most of the time they were in the station. Roadrunner Express Oversized clothing?? Ferris wheel Station pic. but fun It was a bit rough Thunder run entrance Flying dutchman swing was actually standing in the belgian village ?!?! Arms up. Launch Greezed lightning But it was really rough It sounded like it was kinda smouth T2: SLC time

My part of the pictures of Holiday World. I thought Raven was a bit short but it's a great coaster anyway. Load/unload chaos Train entering the station Station pic The Raven ^ Some random theming Swing First drop Great coaster The legend. But we didn't ride it. Ah another credit. Random ride Getting some air. Lift hill It was a walk on for most of the morning. Station pic The Voyage looming through the trees There is Santa Entrance

^ Yes me too. Just 17 hours left for the US trip starts.

I don't mind that they are a bit big cause those pics are really great and I'm getting used to scroll from the bottom to the top.

Yeah it is but on par with Spa Francorchamps!!

When he is considering a return he must bring Jos Verstappen with him. What that man could do with far underpowered cars was amazing.
