Yeah, in this photo you can see the little square of pathway underneath the top hat: http://www.the365project.co.uk/Galleries/Liseberg/photo90.html

I didn't see any dress code written anywhere haha, but I think it's up to you, I wouldn't recommend wearing shorts! It cost 40 Krona to get in, which according to x-rates.com is $5.49, and then our first drink was 100 Krona which is $13.74, then for some reason our second drink was 85 Krona.. $11.68.

Last year we met up with Robb and Elissa's Liseberg section of their Europe trip, but the weather was horrible, and we flew from and back to England in the same day, so actually only got to spend around four hours at the park. This year, we thought we'd do it a bit better, stay the night in Gothenburg and have at least one full day in the park! Plus it was open from 11am-11pm! So who are we to refuse such an offer! The weather was also awesome both days this time! And we got many rides on Balder and Lisebergbanan, and also got to spend some time in the Ice Bar! This trip officially confirmed Liseberg to be my favourite park ever! Photos can be found at the following link: http://www.the365project.co.uk/Galleries/Liseberg/index.html

Finally Tom! I'd forgotten about that truck! Haha. Bobbejaanland rocked! Now hurry up with Efteling pics!

That sucks, that "ferris wheel" lift looked awesome, and drops on Rapids are always great fun. Anyway, my Bobbejaanland pictures are here: http://www.the365project.co.uk/Galleries/Bobbejaanland/index.html

So while we wait for Tom's second half of his Walibi Belgium photos, here are mine! http://www.the365project.co.uk/Galleries/WalibiBelgium/index.html

Come on Tom, get your Walibi Belgium photos up! Here's my Drievliet photos for now http://www.the365project.co.uk/Galleries/Drievliet/index.html

Got on Stealth today finally, after spending an hour and a half on Colossus's lifthill from the powercut. Once we were evacuated we were away! Stealth is great, like someone said above, I think Xcelerator is still a better launch, but this comes close. Anyway, I took a load of photos too! Here's some of the best ones:

It screws on. The lens isn't stabilised at all, it just effectively makes you zoom out even further. Imagine how much more camera shake you get when you zoom in, and how much less there is when you zoom back out, well the wide angle lens helps you display more in the shot and reduces the visible shake. The amount of shake is still the same, but you're zoomed further out so it's not as noticable.

What can you see from your bedroom window?

Panoramic! Click for a bigger version! -
Nice pics, looks like it was a nice day, unlike when we were there! Did you do the mirror maze?

If your in need of a digital camera...

I wouldn't if I were you, I reckon you'd shake that horrible flappy screen to pieces. -
The Official "TPR In Europe" Ongoing TR Thread.
Martyn replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
My Liseberg video is done, as I said, the weather meant that I couldn't get much footage (only about 30 minutes) so it's pretty limited and I was really scraping the barrel by the end, but it seems to have come out ok: http://www.claydon-heights.com/martyn/Videos/lisebergFinalWMV.zip -
The Official "TPR In Europe" Ongoing TR Thread.
Martyn replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I just want to say thanks for the great day at Liseberg also. Like Rob said, it was a shame we had to leave early really, I could have ridden Balder all day. It's strange that IMO, Kanonen is the worst of the three coasters there, I'm not saying it's bad at all, but Balder is just plain awesome, and Lisebergbanan was such a surprise! I'm attempting a video now, I'm not sure if I got enough footage though really, damn weather! In the meantime, here's a little clip of Robb walking into one of the panes of glass in the mirror maze. Now, I'm not sure if he did it deliberately, but it looks pretty accidental to me. I'm sure he'll deny it and say it was deliberate anyway! mirrors.zip -
VIDEO: Cedar Point Coaster Mania 2005
Martyn replied to PhishyBrewer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I liked the video, very good. I'm not keen on your avatar though, I'm not a moderator or anything, but I reckon 4MB is a bit too much for an avatar. In fact, the profile guidelines say 50K. -
Yeah that's my theory too. I remember when I was queuing for X with my dad and we were talking a couple of guys in the queue. One of the guys says "the reason this ride was so expensive was for all the sensors on the track that tell the trains when to rotate" Then his mate goes "actually, it's controlled by another set of rails" And the first guy goes "ok, well I don't spend all my time looking at websites"

Convince Elissa's Mom to Ride USF's Mummy!
Martyn replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sounds just like my Mum, she liked the Matterhorn and Space Mountain, but wouldn't ride Screamin' because it went upside down. I did get her on Hulk once, but she said she didn't like it, she also said she had her eyes shut all the time... how the hell does that cure a fear?? I also got her on Rock N Roller Coaster at DLP at Christmas, but that was only because it was too cold for her to wait for us to get off it! -
^I'm pretty confused by that, but if I am understanding you right I'll say: I don't think you can use your digital camera software to capture the video or edit it. If it's MiniDV you're using (not sure about that either) then you won't get much video onto a memory stick, as it's about one Gigabyte for four minutes of video. But like I said, I'm not really understanding what you want to do.

I found this site a while ago, and the thing that amazed me was the fact that all the rides pack up perfectly and turn into the trucks, just like the real fairground rides. It's one thing being skilled enough to make the rides, but that just crowns it off!

Quick Liseberg question
Martyn replied to robbeal's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We could just print a map maybe! -
Quick Liseberg question
Martyn replied to robbeal's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How would I know what to point at? Actually, I supposed I could write "Liseberg" on a bit of paper, and point at that -
Quick Liseberg question
Martyn replied to robbeal's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is it a simple walk? As we'll have plenty of time I think, with the park not opening till 2. If not, how do you say "where is Liseberg please?" in Swedish?
