I got my updates from the forum with my phone, tablet and android-TV by tapatalk. 95% of my forum browsing was done with tapatalk, so just now I follow one or two threads when I get the e-mail notification. When having a small screen phone and slow mobile internet connection tapatalk speeds up the browsing of the forum. and I don't want to use a web scraping-app to browse the forum. Was tapatalk slowing down the server? /// Marcus

The Tapatalk connection stopped working for about 2 months ago, is there any reason to that Tapatalk stopped working? Tapatalk is a perfect tool to read the forum on my mobile. /// Marcus

Jet Line @ Gröna Lund with 50kg of lead in all the footwells on the trains (700kg of extra weight ), so the park was sure that the trains would not stall on the track. The speed was Insane /// Marcus

Which date are you going to visit the parks? I might be able to meet you @ Liseberg if I'm not @ work. /// Marcus

Would you want a real measurements of the forces on Kanonen to compare your model? /// Marcus

You can do like most people from UK when they visit Liseberg and Gröna Lund: A early flight to Göteborg and stay at Liseberg the whole day (late evening riding is the best thing to do at Liseberg) , overnight at for example the ibis BoatHotell. Then take a early train to Stockholm to visit Gröna Lund and take a late flight back to UK. /// Marcus

Attended today the premier opening for the season. The weather started with clear skies but then it started to hail and rain after 20 minutes the sun return Some of the new buildings Entrance to the new Kanin Landet A overview of the new Old Timers A view of the new Old Timers Looks really god in the sun A new waterwheel The rabbits has some new vehicles It looks that the kids really likes the new playarea "Bushållplatsen" The new boardwalk looks really nice The new boardwalk looks really nice Balder both looks and rides god Liseberg have contracted the old rabbits as circus performers to do dangerous stunts After my visit at Liseberg I attended the Swedish Master for autonomous robots at the Chalmers University of Technology. In a fountain on the campus was Red Bull having a wakeboard competition A robot that makes waffles Stockcar-robots competetions WallE Sumo wrestling for robots The yellow robot won the round It looks like the GPs really likes the new area at Liseberg. /// Marcus

Found a new type of attraction on the Russian design studio Art. Lebedev homepage www.artlebedev.com The name of the ride is Attraktsionus and it is a hybrid ride marrying the two sightseeing favourites: a Ferris wheel and an aerial lift. Infinite fun A special platform loads and unloads the passengers Twice as much of fun I wonder which park will be the first to build? More interesting designs from Art. Lebedev: Vilkus & Povodokus /// Marcus APRIL FOOL!!!!!!

Skyfall directly after work Just got home after the movie and straight in to bed, it's 03:23 am /// Marcus

And here is a panorama from the tower before it was closed for reconstruction: Use the controls to pan and zoom. It's a large file that might take some time to load. If there is a white box, just ignore it and click on the link to view the panorama instead. Pano2_out.swf // Marcus

Here is a Christmas greeting to all of you from a cold and snowy SWEDEN: Loefet & Lond

Visited Bakken Friday 13/08 and Tornado was broken the whole time. After we done the rest of the park we talked with ride op and he told us that the hydraulic chain drive didn't want to work and the ride would be closed for at least 2 hours, so we decided to ride Rutschebanen one more time and after that leave the park. // Marcus

The best of the coasters at Cranger Kirmes 2010 was the Höllenblitz, the ride of AlpinaBahn was to shaky in my comparison to Höllenblitz and Olympia Looping. But I really like the XXL spinning swing. // Marcus

From the news today: Liseberg is going to rebuild the observation tower to a free fall tower GP news link The drop is going to fall down all the way to the basement of the building on the mountain. // Marcus ADMIN EDIT: Here is the translated and original versions of the story so readers don't have to leave the page to see what the news is. Here is the original if anyone wants to give a better translation...

If you want to see some more measurements: www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=503921#p503921. I have measurements from over 100 coaster so far from Europa, Japan, South Korea and USA. // Marcus

After riding it i can say this: It makes a spectacular sound, looks to be fun, but the ride is like a bucket of spanners. The owner for that space in the park was trying to cram in a high speed coaster in his space. Under the afternoon we spend in the park it broke down twice.

Here are some measurements from TTD: Linear G: Positive / Negative G: Lateral G: // Marcus
