Next stop was Holiday World. Home to Voyage (and other fun coasters at that time) Got the opportunity to do a walk to the back (turn around) of this coaster and get some pictures from that area. Fun times -

After the fun introduction with the Mini-Europe it was time for the big USA coaster trip Midwest 2007 I had no idea about what parks and rides i would visit so was in for a surprise. It had also been 7 years since i had visited the USA and 6 years since i had done a trip where i had to speak english the entire time. Challenge accepted Anyway, i can already say i had a blast. ok enough bla bla First stop (after gathering everybody at the airport and filling the busses.. Coney Island (yes there is another besides the one near the ocean see it really says Coney Island it has a fun coaster some crazy slides the adults could also use and even some bumper boats. fun times and a nice way to start the trip. Hope you like the trip through memory lane, keep responding and i'll keep posting things. Many many pictures. trips and years left to go -

To finish off this first trip (for me) we had some more time at Phantasialand the next day. For me this was a perfect introduction to TPR before doing the big MidWest trip later that year. Beginning of many fun years and making a bunch of friends from all over the globe. Hoping travel times will resume soon again. anyway, here are some Black Mamba pictures. this ride does crazy things to the camera That first drop.. one of the view spots without nets making it hard to see things -

After a fun morning it was time to check out Toverland during the afternoon and evening. They had just added a new GCI at that time (TROY) which was a fun ride. loved all the play areas there and fun theming all around. here's a couple of pictures from that visit. -

After a fun afternoon/evening at Holiday Park we drive to the next hotel/park Phantasialand. Next morning i got to experience this fun park and a really fun spinning coaster. Phantasialand has plenty of theming all around (even back then and it has changed a lot since 07) but in a little corner you can find Winja's que theming even the ride itself tries to stay mysterious and creates some crazy pictures "outdoor/indoors" part still plenty of motion blur options. what a difference in pictures between 07 and these days... but that's a different story -

After Tripsdrill it was a not so long drive to Holiday park. My first experience with Expedition GeForce. such a fun ride, been back to this park a couple more times and am looking forward to a future (and relaxed) visit to this park. -

Next stop on this trip was Tripsdrill Small funky park in Germany (which has gotten a lot of great updates since that time) To me this is a "classic" fun attraction Is it laughter or fear? This sure looks like fear such a fun attraction -

The last couple of days i've been thinking about how to post new updates to this topic over the next couple of weeks/months. Here's my idea.. i'll just do a memory lane trip. Basically post pictures from all my TPR related travels, chronical order and favorite images. This could be one update from a small park.. or multiple updates from bigger parks. Maybe even a crazy amount of images from a single ride. It all depends on how you guys react to this. Let me know if you like the idea (or not) and keep posting comments. The more reactions i'm getting, the more motivated i'll be to keep posting pictures. To start this off. First Themepark i visited with TPR was back in 07 (time flies) The park was Klotten. Home to all kinds of playground areas (fun for kids and adults) and a crazy mouse like coaster (forgot the name and too lazy to look it up) felt like a perfect introduction to the fun TPR is. -

It sure has been a while. Covid has messed up lots of plans, lots of potential coaster trips. Hoping to ride some coasters later this year, and maybe check out some new stuff as well. Anyway, might as well try and post some more "old" stuff and maybe bring this topic back to life. Here are some Gold Rush opening day pictures. These are from 2017 (time sure flies) -

I love being able to do walkbacks around coasters and parks. They usually provide some cool photo options. How about some Beast pictures? From 2016 visit to Kings Island -

Looks like more people were not prepared for the massive airtime this ride has (see pic3)
