According to rcdb, it is 19 meters tall and the drop is 55 meters. That means 36 meters is under ground level...

Wednesday Oct. 5th, Day 4: Drayton Manor Park
We took the train from Derby to Tamworth, about half an hour and got a taxi to Drayton Manor.
The park was pretty much empty. First I rode Shockwave, the only stand-up coaster in Europe and the only stand-up coaster that has a 0-G-roll There was only 3-5 people in the station and we had to wait for more people before leaving the station.
It was better than expected, not very rough, and GREAT hang-time on ALL inversions
me on an empty train
the zero-gravity-roll was cool
G-Force was still testing...
I like Shockwaves layout
G-Force has a scary lift hill!
The restraints were VERY tight, I could seriously not breathe :shock:
It was also very rough
But the lift was freaking scary! i really felt like I was going to fall out!
some track....
the double corkscrew on Shockwave was cool
I rode Shockwave 4 times without leaving the seat!
another bird...

Monday Oct. 3rd, Day 2: Alton Towers!
Very early on Monday morning we took a taxi to the railwaystaion. After 2 1/2 hours in the train we got to Derby. We got picked up and droven to Alton Towers. There was no big roads, quiet landscape with hills, old stone buildings and animals. I was like where the hell is AT!? When we got there I only saw the entrance and I didn't hear anything from the park. It was like totally hidden in the forrest! The park was really big! There was a lake and a castle. The only ride I could see was Spinball Wizzer.
First I went to Oblivion.
I was suprised by how big it actually was!
The line was about only 5 minutes and I went on the front row. The air-time was very good and it lasted long. I loved that ride! I rode it 2 more times before I went to Rita.
The line on Rita was 30 minutes, the only coaster at AT that actually had a line
Rita was bigger than I imagined...
I always thought that Kanonen looked way better than Rita, but it is so NOT!! Rita was incredible and it had the most intense air-time I have experienced! So far this was my favorite of this trip...
Then I went to Nemesis. It was really hard to find, and i got lost in the woods. Then I came to a sign that pointed at Forbidden Valley and I finally found it. The line was only 10 minutes. I got the front...
Nemesis was VERY powerful. More intense that Goliath and Top Gun. I felt like I had just been on a mountain hike when I got off, the Gs really pulled my legs! X is the only ride I've been on that is still better than Nemesis.
Here is me on Nemesis. I don't think I need the red ring to show which one is me
a weird pic that my mom took...
the next coaster was Air, ofcourse. 10 minute line here too.
People say that Air is weak and boring, but that is very wrong! Air it pretty intense and VERY disorienting!! I loved this was too
Especially the lay-on-your-back-part was very intense.
and here's me again...
After Air I went on Rita again for some great air-time...
At the end of the day I took a couple of rides on Oblivion...
...I took my camera on it...
...but where's the pic of the hole?! They stopped the train right before the drop and a guy came up there and TOOK MY CAMERA AWAY
except from that, I had a great day at Alton Towers
Tuesday Oct. 4th, Day 3: Alton Towers again
lol
My first ride was Nemesis.
No line, I rode it 3 times in a row!
After nemmy, I rode Air 3 times in a row too!
Rita had a 30min line on this day too...
like yesterday, corkscrew was still closed... but maybe that was just a good thing
then I took 3 rides on Oblivion, no lines there either
it goes 40 meters below ground level 8)
I thought I had to try Spinball Wizzer too, even though it looked boring...
...but it was actually very good! I loved Spinball too! I rode it twice.
Then I went back to Nemesis and rode it 5 times in a row
I love Nemesis
no line
then it was Air-time again
...and again
but then I actually started feeling sick! :shock: The brakes really made me feel sick
I took a break from riding coasters, until it was time to close park. I still rode Rita twice before the lines closed...
Alton Towers was GREAT! Only SFMM is better out of all the parks I've been at. If you plan to go there, go it October before the local fall break, there is no lines!!
...............Drayton Manor Park report coming soon.................

Sunday Oct. 2nd, Day 1: Thorpe Park!
So, we got up 4am and drove to the air port...
The flight took about 1 1/2 hour
Here's London!
As soon as we got all our stuff to the hotel room, we got a taxi to..
!
Nemesis Inferno was the first ride of the day
A great view of Stealth from Nemesis' line
Nemesis Inferno was a bit dissapointing. It was like fun, but kind of boring... But I think it looks so beautyful!
The line was about 5 minutes, but I rode the front so I waited about 20 minutes!
Next up was Colossus. I had heard that it was rough and not very good.
It was only running one train and the line was 1 hour 15 minutes!
I loved it! it was so worth the wait. It was pretty rough, but at leats it didn't hurt and it was very intense. My favorite part was the double corkscrew.
Then I rode NI again...
I had a look at Stealth. It looks awesome!
They were still doing the pull-though...
Nemesis Inferno!
I took my camera on it too The blur is not even photoshopped :shock:
Slammer was awesome!
More Colossus
Me on the test seat
Me on one of the real seats...
I brought my camera on Colossus too
I love this part!
Here is me taking the pictures above
Thorpe Park was great! Excpept the drunk people on Vortex who planned to puke on everybody
on the ride...
.................Alton Towers pics coming soon!..............

Friday Sept. 30th, Day -1
I had free from school because we drove to Oslo, which is 7 hour in the car I drove almost half of the trip (I'm 16 and that means that I'm allowed to practice-drive in Norway).
Here we are in the mountains on our way to Oslo, it's across the country from where I live. My mom lives in Oslo so we decided that I would go there and thet to England from there.
a tunnel...
Saturday Oct. 1st, Day 0

Hva slags kamera brukte du ncf ? Bra bildekvalitet, når kommer neste updaten din ? Jeg skal nok dra dit en gang nærmere jul for å se hvor langt de har kommet ,men prøv og ta flere turerer du også da
Jeg bruker Konica Minolta DiMAGE G400, Den neste oppdateringen har allerede kommet: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17394&start=20 Jeg skal ta en del turer ja Tenkte å spørre Tusenfryd via e-post om jeg kan få lov å komme å ta bilder i vinter
-
I went to Tusenfryd to day for another update... Track has arrived
-
My CC is 60, and next week it'll rise to 70-75
-
I hope those really banked banks doesn't make you think " faster please!" like Balder's...
This looks incredible though! I love steepness
-
-
i personally think they are way over-rated. They're great coasters but not that great. Balder and Kanonen are #13 & #15 on my list, and Lisebergbanan is not even in my top 20...
-
It is incredible how little time it took to set up this coaster. The first Intamin accelerator in Europe with a top hat on it. I can imagine how long the queueline will be for this coaster. This is why I recon that every new major coaster should have a SRQ.
Kanonen is the first rocket in Europe with a top-hat
-
I had a terrible day My contact lens was hurting my eye the whole day at school and I couldn't consentrate for anything...
-
I used 7 pencils with different hardness, the hard pencils give thin sharp lines and light color, and the soft pencils gives darks shadows and thick lines...
-
That helix on Gravity Max looks really weird!
-
I've been drawing a lot since I was like 3 years old
-
BTW, here's the original: http://granat.es.lth.se/~olofsrnm/nyrc/picindex/expeditiongeforce/expeditiongeforce30.jpg
as you can see, I did not include the trees in the background, that would have been too much work...
-
lol thanks.
proof:
-
My EGF drawing is finally done!! It took me 5 weeks.
-
No please don't name it that El Toro is the name of a tomato soup in Norway
-
I'm going to England (for coasters) in only 1 week!!!
-
Why do you use finnish names?
-
I'm glad you all like it 8) I would like to see other people doing something like this too
-
That picture is somewhere on Thundercoaster and Super Splash at Tusenfryd, and on Balder at Liseberg
