I have so many favorites that I can't have them all here, but here's a few
SFMM last year
the next 2 are from our window
This is Oslo, the capital of Norway from my mom's window
the next 2 are from Finland this summer
Balder's first drop
these 2 are from the beginning of this month:
-
I usen to live in Finland 8 years ago, and we still go there every summer. Power Park is only 1 hour from where we stay 8) I am definately going there next year
-
I've ridden Riddler's Revenge, Votex PGA and Shockwave Drayton Manor and they are all great
-
I'm gonna be the SpeedMonster man. I've already ridden thundercoaster nearly 250 times
-
Now that looks hot! Speed Monster alone makes the 06 UK TPR trip worth going.
It's not even near the UK

OMG!!! Check this out: http://www.tusenfryd.no/?SectionId=563 Click on "tekniske skisser" for layout and train pics! Speed Monster has SO much more good stuff that I ever thought!!
1. The first thing IS an inversion!
2. It has 2 S-turns, one after the immelman and the second one after the first corkscrew-hop!
3. The 180 degree turns are way more banked than I imagined!
4. The is no double corkscrew, the first one is a mix between a bunny-hill and a corkscrew hop!

We don't have halloween in Norway, but I think most people know what it is...

For anyone who has been to both US and UK parks; do people queue differently? From what I gather in the US people continue queueing at any loading bays they want regardless of it being empty or not. While in the UK you get into the station and stay in the queue until the loading bays are emptied and then you move into which bay you want. Once these are all taken people stay in the queue and continue to do so until the bays are emptied again.
Exactly! I've been to 6 parks in California and Nevada and 3 in England, and the line thing is very true.
I have a question. What is the difference between "line" and "queue"? When I was in California last year, people didn't understand what I meant when I said queue, they was like "OH! you mean line!" In England (3 weeks ago) they didn't understand when I said line, and THEY were like "oh, you mean queue"

If the rest of her new album is going to be like this.... w00t! Can't wait! Her last album, American Life, was okay. Well, no, it was kinda crap. But still, it's Madonna...

I love American Life! I've been listening to it since July...

I'm a coaster ethusiast and I don't HATE any coasters.
Just wait until you ride a Volare.... :shock:
I rode Trombi at Särkänniemi 4 times this summer. It was fun!
-
I'm a coaster ethusiast and I don't HATE any coasters. Some coasters are more boring or uncomfortable COMPARED to OTHER COASTERS, but NO "bigger" coaster is BAD. Being on any ("bigger") coaster is more fun than... not being on any coaster. BTW I relly like Déjà Vu, definately one of my favorite coasters

1. Tilt, Gröna Lund, 80m tall Intamin floorless stand-up drop tower that tilts you at the top :shock: 8)

On saturady I woke up 12:30pm. In the evening i ate pizza. To day I... :?
so, I had a great weekend
it's very boring to live in a place with only 500 people... especially since I'm one of very few in my age here
-
when I rode Oblivion with my camera, they stopped the train at the top and came up there to take it away
-
I put on 3kg during my CoasterTrip in England
-
Ofcourse it's worth it. I got there from Norway which was a 14 hour flight and very expensive, and it was more than worth it
-
Thanks! I got a kiwi cake at school
-
Tomorrow's my turn I'm going to Bergen to the movies and pizza
EDIT, sorry for double post, no delete button

Colossus at Thorpe Park Friday Oct. 7th 8)
-
Thursday Oct. 7th, Day5: London
We got a free ride to Heathrow airport in the mording and took the subway to London. There was some other Norwegians there too!
We got off at Piccadelly Circus and went to Madame Tussauds
The fake people looked very real...
After that we went too see Big Ben and london Eye
In the London Eye there was some chinese people with VERY noicy kids
Here is the lava-lamp building in the background! Does anyone know what it is for??
more London....
This is only 4 meters lower than Kingda Ka
Then we went to the famous Harrods mall. I was extremely tired. I really hate shopping. I think I actually fell asleep, standing!!
Friday Oct. 8th, Last day
We spent our last day at Thorpe Park again.
Colossus were still only running one train and the line was long... It broke down while I was in the line and I waited an hour to get on it
Stealth has got more cars and a station!
more Colossus
the last heart-line-roll was very close to the ground!
Nemesis Inferno's fastest point
tall support holding the top of the first drop
just thought thios would be cool
bye Colossus, I WILL miss you
That's it! My best fall break ever The worst thing I know is getting home after having such a good time...
to sum up all coasters:
#1 Nemesis: VERY intense, powerful, forceful... and 100% smooth, definately my favorite B&M coaster
#2 Rita: Bigger and better than expected. Way better than Kanonen, But Xcelerator is still better. Most intense air-time I've ever experienced, great launch and lots of Gs on the helixes
#3 Colossus: Pretty rough, but not painful at all. Very intense, especially the corkscrews, good air-time on the hill between the loop and the cobra-roll, four heart-line-rolls in a row was awesome, and the last roll was very close to the ground.
#4 Air: Not tame and boring at all like I've heard. The lay-on-your-back part was really intense and cool. The ride was very disorienting and fun. Look forward to Tatsu!!
#5 Oblivion: Great long-lasting floating air-time, very deep, but unfortunately very short.
#6 Nemesis Inferno: Kind of tame, but good pre-lift elements and very smooth
#7 Shockwave: Not very rough, great hang-time on all inversions. The 0-G-roll was a weird element on a stand-up coaster, but very fun ofcourse
#8 Spinnball Wizzer: Super fast lift hill, very smooth, lot of fun...
#9 G Force: Too rough, too tight restraints, extremely scary lift-hill, disorienting
