Hhappy

Originally i had planned to only do the EastCoast trip (after doing Europe off course) This also due to some possible leave problems with work... As days went on.. i wanted to join the Behemoth more every day.. and as you have seen in the updates so far.. the rest is history.. East Coast Trip time. First stop of this trip (and for some of the behemoth people the last one) was Sesame Place. Here's a selection of the pictures i took this day.. i always try to capture the joy people have while joining a TPR tour and off course the coasters and the effect those have on people. There might be some strange pictures in these selection.. but don't worry.. it's either because they are just too funny.. or they capture the person perfectly (in my eyes) Hope you like them East Coast Tour Day 1 Sesame Place and no.. this ain't a photoshop... just keeping an eye on the guests... some theming.. looks like a nice place to cool down a little.. More waterpark.. and off course there was a decent line to get a picture with Bert and Ernie.. ok..... Back to the park.. they have some water slides.. All of a sudden i did see somebody walking through the lines.. looking at a map and not fitting in.. not sure if it's a character or not.. and did not get a better picture.. i had something in mind.. but it's gone... Looks like they enjoyed it.. That looks interesting... Just Chillin... Flat ride.. That looks like fun.. Feeling ok?? or is the heat getting you?? Time to check out the rest of the park.. they have a big rubber duck... The next train is going up... The sun and mercury.. what else is there to add? Animal... and more familiar faces. getting ready to conquer this ride.. I spot tpr members... Ladies and gentleman.. we have lift off. The trip has started.. TPR filling the lines of the credit just around the corner... we got our tickets.. let's go and have some fun I see random people on a coaster... spot yourself... many familiar faces and plenty of new ones as well.. at least this was the same.. We are there, it's always fun to see the different names in the US compared to where i'm from... hmm, so where are we heading to?? I'm a tourist and i did like the view of the skyline of this place... Since the group got a little bigger.. we now have 2 busses instead of one.. and with some familiar faces driving them. Thanks guys for the excellent driving.

And here is a selection of all the pictures from the last park we visited during this 5th Day Del Grosso's Amusement Park The next day would be the start of the East Coast trip.. some people would leave.. and others would join.. but more on that in the next update.. First things first.. Here are the pictures.. owh yeah.. and there was finally some time for food just in case you forgot were we are.. finally.. a normal expression.. scary?? some more people at least the train looks happy.. is it pain.. is it joy.. hands up.. baby hands up... Happy faces strike a pose.. smile.. Looks like they will make it back.. .. go .... here we.... next train... is it fear or joy?? More credit people going for the credit... Looks like some kind of annual festivity... coaster indeed.. first things first.. there's always food and time to eat... Food or??? Yes.. finally.. 3 people on a train.. this line took forever... Another crazy mouse... I guess that there are some coasters here as well? I had never seen one like that... Shed 7 and a story about sauce and food (off course) Park Map..

^ until visiting this park i had never heard of Mister Rogers.. so yeah.. i still don't get it.. But it was fun, i'm had an excellent holiday/time.. so.. i don't mind Anyway The second park of Day 5 was Lakemont Park Not sure what happened.. but i hardly took any pics there.. (i must have been tired or the heat was getting to me..) Here's the "usual" selection. Have fun last picture for this update.. more should follow tomorrow.. no need for a chiropractor.. just ride the Toboggan... at least it looks like it had that effect on some people.. While taking some pictures i was hit by something.. after searching i found this little creature which apparently hit me.. Happy faces on the skyliner... (at the start of their ride) don't you just love hairtime?? Go Curve still aline for the Toboggan.. i'll check the other credit first.. it does look so simple... and yet it was surprisingly good more history this ride created way more airtime then i'd ever expected.. it's almost insane in the back.. and i loved it.. getting ready to ride.. and the amazing anti-roll back system.. old school Leap the Dips lift chain thingy my second Toboggan ever in the distance... But first things first.. food i see credits.. ok, so that's why we are here.. I can still smile reading this...

Time flies.. we'r already at Day 5 of the Behemoth trip.. During this day we visited 3 parks First stop of the day was Idlewild. My captions are crap.. but at least (some) of the pictures are ok... and i'll end this update with this picture.. time to relax a little.. and how it works... Time for the whip Going sideways.. Next round of people... Feeling Emo?? they did look like fun.. but i did not try any of these untill Knoebels... chilling.. How's life Dave? Maybe some other time.. Looks like erik is enjoying this.. there's always a need for more Brian pictures.. are they coming?? do i need to hurry?? let's race... Time for some more fun... Confusion Hill... theming.. in park transportation.. Hug n' song party time... One of his friends.. here's the King.. Happy faces at the beginning of this ride... brings us to this... Taking a left.... crossing the bridge.. looks like a funny joke?? what's up with the faces?? robb is doing his thing.. a look at the waterpark.. interesting lift hill scared?? time for some mouse pictures.. reading the instructions on how this works?? Rollo Coaster.. totally forgot to get more pictures if this ride.. oeps.. Gifts and donuts result in happy faces.. directions.. Park map don't you just love empty parking lots?

The second half of day 4 was spent at Waldameer. Home to Ravine Flyer II. This is one of those days/nights i'll never forget. The storm that hit us during ERT and the bus drive after that was amazing. I did not dare to get my camera out of the safety of the bag to get some pictures of the rain.. but it was amazing. I also wish i would have been able to describe the atmosphere due to the proximity of lightning and the sound of thunder.. Once again.. it was amazing and i'm glad i was part of the experience.. Here's a selection of the pictures i took during our visit.. hope you enjoy them. As usual these are posted in the order they were taken... and i'll leave you with this picture.. ERT started pretty soon after this.. as did the rain.... time to chill Bumper cars... Better late then never.. a picture of the park map.. i see the moon... Park staff having fun. Thanks for the chat Kidtums and the Frog Hopper sky ride.. somewhere between the flowers... sad and pathetic?? first drop... Ravine Flyer 3 fun clown fun.. Paratrooper... Robb... you can't fly... let's try to get dry again?? so that is what a lifeguard looks like?? tpr fun.. something totally random.. going down... waiting for the drop.... wacky shack... ehm.. what's happening in that train??? see the difference due to the fact that the water canons were not used... owh damn.. there's a third boat?? somebody looks soaked... don't you love water rides?? time for boat number 2... Happy or soaked?? or both?? and it's time to zoom in a little... adding some water canons to the final drop.... time to go back to the logflume.. boat number 1... drop tower on it's way down... toys.. just in case you were wondering where we are... That long?? wow don't ask me why.. but i really liked all the small(and bigger) statues at this place.. the only decent train picture i got.. i totally forgot to get up the wheel to take more pictures.. as you can see.. the sun was starting it's final decent for this day... I guess everybody has a picture like this.. specs.. more trains for this ride.. I guess this is clear... Steel Dragon credit time.. drop tower.. time to enjoy some of the rides in this park... old school sign .. While sitting in the bus.. we needed some kind of entertainment.. no tiara this time but...

After trying to fix some problems with my home server (which is still giving me headaches) i might as well do another update (finally) It is time for Day 4 This update will be about Marineland Waldameer will follow later last picture for this update.. you can see marineland's tower in the distance.. overview... people are tiny compared to nature... Dracula... will you survive.... Looking at the other side.. More tourists.. as seen from the bus... still no clue on what this is.. the clouds were breaking and the sun was shining.. train and green.. coaster.. looks like a small island... looking down at the coaster... Plenty of people are looking at the falls.. one side of the falls parking of the park and falls in the distance.. tourist.. so checking out the falls thanks to the elevator mode i was able to take a whole lot of long distance pictures.... so i guess you know what's coming now.. time to scream... see? another credit and a whole lot of happy faces.. another random attraction at this place.. sorry.. no time... we're walking... i guess they were playing.. tired?? I guess somebody needed some more sleep... another TPR take over.. Now what is that?? and another close up... Hi Erik.. the train looks nice from this angle.. there is just a limited number of places to get pictures of this ride... another inversion (and photo angle) going up the lifthill zooming in... small overview of this area..... in the distance.. insert some kind of tree joke... trying to look over the wall and get a decent picture... Dave does his "thing" transportation that looks interesting... let's check out Dragon Mountain first.. I guess everybody has this picture.. Anyway.. looks like we made it quick picture from the bus... i'm a tourist so... How many miles?

Thanks for all the nice comments so far. Happy to hear that people enjoy the pictures (so far) No worries about me posting pictures of somebody scratching his/her... I would most likely not see it happening or would not be quick enough with my camera... on the other side i guess it's just way too grosse to post... although it might be very funny.. hmm.. i guess i have to double check my pictures.... anyway.. time for some more pictures.. Day 3 was spent all day at Canada's Wonderland (aka Behemoth Bash) Here's a selection of the pics i took.. hope you enjoy them That's all for today.. time to get back to the hotel.. Thanks Behemoth for some awesome rides.. let's try to get some night shots.. plenty of space left... some more random people enjoying their day.. so much to see.. woeps... almost out and under... Look mom.. no hands... This one is just too funny to not post (again) ehmm... this is what happens with 3 TPR members in one "boat".. a "big" splash.. Hitting the brakes... and then the entire structure made a "specific" sound... swing... This one was not as bad as expected... Park Map.. just in case you are interested... i missed the "diveshow" and the lights after dark.. so this will have to do... and yes.. there's still plenty to see after a couple of hours here... ok.. time to check out the rest of the park.. it does not matter from which angle you look at this ride.. it's just... is it fear.. is it joy.. no.. it's Behemoth's first drop.. First drop.... looks like everybody is trying to get the same picture... "long" story.. I just love these opportunities to do some walkbacks etc.. some random people... enjoying the opportunity... heading of in the direction of... first drop fun... hairtime.. after the brakes.. heading for the onride photo.. ain't it beautifull?? Time for some random people enjoying their ride... action... Let's enjoy a walkback and some other angles to this ride.. That's a nice line for Behemoth... Some stuff in this park is just beautifull... ..... TPR Trivia everybody is focussed for... something totally random.. it does not matter where i go on holiday.. i always see something from the company i work for... owh.. i see.. food.. what is everybody waiting for?? plenty of water i guess... wondering how wet you would get?? more water... owh yes.. we got some volunteers... I guess this says it all... do you get wet on this ride?? time to cool down... gnarf gnarf.. i want more... they say your life flashes by just before... ehm... here we go..... another familiar face... this looks familiar... I'll come back to you later today... No line?? owh wait.. it ain't open yet... Time to chill out and check out the rest of the park.. why o why did i get on this ride... and yes.. i should be used to these coming from "vekoma land" Let's check out this ride before the rest does... Look at all those people waiting for the park to open... almost there... and takes some sharp turns... it makes you go upside down.. a name to remember... why o why... and some look like they are still sleeping.. Some happy faces during ERT Is there a better way to start the day??

Sorry for the delay.. but things have been pretty hectic here the last couple of days.. As promised the next update is about the second part of Day 2 Martin's Fantasy Island yes.. i guess everybody got it.. silver comet was flying and could only be captured as a blur.. pretty lights... the park is empty.. the sun i gone.. let's put on some lights and start ERT.. time for some fun on a slide.. What's this?? no comment.. Anything for a picture... ehm.. who gave this to Elissa?? I guess we missed a show... Let's take a walk through this nice park not really.. let's add some more water... thanks do you think that they are wet enough?? they are somewhere underneath this splash... ok.. here we go again... First drop.... After food.. it's good to.. test the logflume.. the more people the more fun.. Let's spin a little.. I did try to capture something beautifull... and here's the result.. did not come out that bad.... Full Tilt... everybody tries to win.. happy faces all around.. another TPR takeover.. and don't forget the brake run at the end... plenty of angles to try to get pictures... There's fun for young and older.. and there's pain?? there's joy... ok, focus.. i spot TPR members... it's still cold... can i eat it or not?? Nice hair effect at one of the turns... Some random people starting their ride... there's still light.. let's try to get some more pictures from the Silver Comet and it was not that "big" i guess this says it all.. How wet can you get?? This one looked like fun (looking back at the reactions of people on it..) scream or crazy mouse?? I've been spotted... Hi Erik, how's the view?? getting in the seat can be difficult?? Elissa is happy... since it did not spin... look over there... They seem to have fun... There's also a "spinning" mouse coaster... "don't feed Phil" ehm.. normally these don't just swing i guess?? Let's ceck out the woodie.. I totally liked the fact that it was possible to take a canoe and paddle around... Here's the entrance sign

Time for the update containing pictures of Day 2: First stop of the day was Darien Lake. My first encounter with a "Ride of Steel". In the morning i was puzzled about the hype.. but during the afternoon it was running way better.. enough said.. you know what's next... I'll leave you with some more random people.. next stop...Martin's Fantasy Island Duck!!! more familiar faces.. Fun for the young and.. ehm.. everybody? More random people... Close up... of some first drop fun.. Starting the first drop... Hairtime...

Time to enjoy the UFO Where are the bags going to with that person?? Total focus... Game time And part 2.. i'll safe everybody from all the other expressions during that ride... The many faces of Robb... part 1 But at least he got a "boob" credit for the Bingo no comment.... Just in case you forgot the name of the previous ride... Local??? or just enjoy another scream... Brace yourself... Is it joy?? those wristbands make it easier to spot other TPR members... aha, that was the name... Random people enjoying the... ehm... what was the name of this ride... ehmm.. Random people about to hit the brakes.. Motocoaster... i guess the park opened... Last train during ERT.. After sitting in the front.. let's try the back... Plenty of different expressions.. Next victims.. plenty of happy faces.. Almost back to the station... Let's get back to the ride of steel.. and well.. a picture says more then a thousand words... Happy faces... They have no idea... That's more like it.. in the distance... Nerd shot?? But first.. let's check out this Ride of Steel.. ERT started with Predator... Hmm.. OCC... Group gathering for the group photo.. What's that in the distance??

Time flies when you are having fun... Just a couple of weeks after the europe trip it was time for me to fly to Philadelphia to meet up with familiar faces and friends for yet another TPR trip. After a nice flight, getting to the hotel, some food and a good night of rest and sleep it was time to meet up with everybody else and start this Trip. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for yet another great trip. Anyway.. as you might know by now.. i do take plenty of pictures (most of the time) and the following is a selection of those. These are (as usual) posted in the order that they were taken during the day's. Enough said hope you enjoy them. Behemoth and Ravine Flyer II trip Day 1: Seabreeze Day 2: Darien Lake Day 2: Martin's Fantasy Island Day 3: Behemoth Bash at Canada's Wonderland Day 4 (Part1): Marineland Day 4 (Part2): Waldameer Day 5 (Part1): Idlewild Day 5 (Part2): Lakemont Park Day 5 (Part3): Del Grosso's East Coast Trip Day 1 (part1): Sesame Place Day 1 (part2): Coney Island Day 2 (Part1): Six Flags New England Day 2 (Part2): Quassy Day 2 (Part3): Lake Compounce Day 3 (Part1): Six Flags New England (day 2) Day 3 (Part2): Rye Playland Day 4: Six Flags Great Adventure Day 5: Six Flags America Day 6: Busch Gardens Europe at Williamsburg Day 7: Kings Dominion Day 8 (Part1): Morey's Piers Day 8 (Part2):Clementon Day 9: Hersheypark Day 10: Dorney Park Day 11: Knoebels I'll leave you with this picture.. i don't dare coming up with a caption for it so... and some information about the past.. Bobsleds scary?? This one came out nice... There were plenty of people at this park at this time.. Time for a beautifull sunset Time for some other photo's... looks like the kiddie was scarier for the adults (whoring it) then for the kids... More people having fun Now how many people can we fit.... it was flying... Jahan seems to like it while Dave.. well Dave is just being Dave... Back to Jack Rabbit... I think it was a nice coaster.. Lokks like they still enjoyed it.. The sun started it's final decent (for today) which created different light... yeah.. more tpr members.. owh my.. look at the effect on the structure after those "armpits" passed Some random people on the third credit at this park. Yes, another credit. Just in case you forgot where we are.. the "first" TPR "takeover" ehm.. was not sure about posting this one.. but hey.. it has something.. ehm... I guess everybody has this picture... I do like the "old school" station without turning/blocking stuff.. just depending on common sense.. And the present day.. why is everybody taking pictures of me taking a picture of something?? Interesting info from the past One of the first things you see after entering the park.. First park of this trip Our bus for this segment of the trip

^ i would not be surprised cause i remember a funny smell... not sure if it was the entire park or.. Anyway.. i'm glad everybody (so far) liked the photo's. I'll be quiet the next couple of days/weeks.. But remember.. there's always the next trip and therefore next Photo Trip Report Have fun and enjoy life the way you want to... Hanno

^ i was waiting for that picture to show up.. damn.. that ride was.. well how do you say it... just wrong.. I was trying to keep my mouth shut and the only way to express the pain i felt (thank you drop tower for killing some vital parts when you sit down) was this way.. I did see the camera coming.. and some folks were standing there with their camera's as well.. I still can't believe how pissed i looked on that picture... Unbelievable

That was so much fun although i'll never forget the pain during those rides as well due to the drop tower 2 days earlier.. Moviepark germany is the one i'm referring to... EGF was running so unbelievable well that day that.. well.. the pain was no problem due to the ride.. i had been on it at the end of April.. and i'm not sure what they did to it.. but it was running so much better.. almost as if they replaced the trains, wheels and all the other moving parts..

Yeah.. finished it right on time.. My flight to Philly leaves in less then 19 hours.. East Coast (and Behemoth Ravine Flyer) here i come Thanks everybody so far for all the kind words and comments.. those are the reason (for me) to do such a photo trip report.. Have fun in the mean time.. untill we meet again.. Hanno

It is a sad moment.. but this will be my final update for the Europe Tour. I really really had an amazing time and time went by way too fast. Don't know much else to say then.. Here's the last selection. Day 13: Disneyland Paris Resort (Day 2 and final trip day) Farewell dinner was a blast as well. Thanks everybody Thank you Disney I've seen a small glass version of this as well.. Just a random picture.. Sorry that i pulled you on this one.. but i just like it.. can't explain it.. but yeah... Feeling better Steve?? track.. One more lap But nobody in the station yet... so.. There are plenty of people waiting there... Don't you just love waking up to coaster ERT?? Yes.. more ERT Now why is everybody gathering here this early morning??

Day 12 Disney time... It had been 9 years since my last visit (so that before the studio opened) and i really wanted to visit the park again.. Looking back now.. i'm glad i took a bunch of pictures (of which plenty failed) cause i can hardly remember things from this visit.. I guess i was way too tired by now... anyway.. here's a selection of some of my pictures of the first day at the park.. Hope you like them.. Just one more update after this... I'll finish this update with this picture.. more to come tomorrow... More fire.. Studio tour.. Inside Crush.. These looked like a lot of fun crush.. waiting to get on the tower... Almost captured the grand finale.. i'm on fire... My next stop was the stunt show spectacle... Back in the park.. another angle of the Manor.. let's eat something smooth ride, with some nice music (loved the volume..) My first tower.. and yes.. i liked it.. Still wondering what this would look like once it was dark... Time for something new for me.. studio.. These folks look familiar... More darkride please... random thing inside.. Pirates.. i still really like this ride.. especially the "tune".. I don't feel like Mission 2 was an upgrade.. especially since it's way rougher.. or maybe it's because i've been on more coasters at this point.. Early morning.. it's always good to wake up to...

After our visit to Europa Park we had a nice drive to get to our final Destination... Disneyland Resort Paris. On the way there.. we did a quick stop.. Day 11 Walygator Parc Don't worry... be happy.. let's get back to the bus and go to the next park... Robb is happy... that's always a good sign.. ehm.. i guess somebody failed to leave in time.. I see people.. some flat rides near the water... "space computer" credit number three... Log flume.. spot the tpr members... yep.. i'm still shaking.. do i need to add something to this?? credit stop number two... theming... credit stop number one... another funny ride.. hang in there "dude" ok, looks like we found some people.. and a wafle stand.. when you have to go.. you have to go... let's check out the park.. hmm, not that many cars on the parking lot... see.. there's the entrance..

The last time i visited the park it was named Wild Wild West as you thought. I guess it was ok back then.. but after seeing the dvd... i was very glad i did not ride it this time and took pictures instead.. Thanks for the updates

It's time for Day 11 of this trip. We had some more hours to spent at Europa Park and the we would drive in the direction of Paris with a stop at Walygator Parc. More on walygator later on (next update) but first some more stuff from Europa Park. This place was just amazing and i really enjoyed my stay there. Later on i discovered that i did not get pictures of all the rides there.. so i guess that shows how much fun i had.. anyway.. time for some more pictures.. most of them are from the Euro-Mir.. last one of this morning.. time to go.. i'm not sure what i tried to do here... indeed.. thumbs up for the park and this fun ride more tpr members.. happy riders.. thanks guys.. more happy faces.. trying to capture... Hands up.. baby hands up.. still partying.. you do look much better divv and yes.. we are still on the Euro-mir.. more members of the party train.. It's the party train More TPR members.. What's that noise i'm hearing?? and of they went.. bye bye.. you can also see the camera mount for the onride system for some of the cars they have.. that's how close they passed us.. Happy TPR people is always a good sign finally.. there they are.. I can see our hotel More clouds in the distance.. well it was raining by that time.. and if you look close.. you can see the spray coming of the weels and track.. "blurry" more train on track... did not come out the way i had in mind.. but still good enough.. are those roadworks in the background?? Plenty of wheels.. Looking down.. ok guys.. we are up here.. time for you to join the line.. see you in a bit Random happy riders Poseidon with clouds in the background... the day before was bright and sunny.. and i forgot to take pictures of this ride.. ehmm.. he looks kinda creapy... are you ready to "run" ?? i love the text on this shirt.... Our amazing hotel for this stay Another park hotel just across the street..

Next Park on the trip was Europa Park where we spent time during day 10 and the morning of day 11... So the following update will be done in 2 parts.. Part 1: Day 10 Europa Park Planty of pictures taken.. although i forgot to take pictures of some of the rides.. but hey.. it's sometimes very good to just chill/relax and have a lot of fun. Thanks for another great day on this trip... Final selected picture of this day.. people swimming.... come on rain.. come closer.. and cool us down a little.. please... front row... more reactions of random people.. there is some kind of reason that i selected this picture... Silver star first drop fun.. I'll be back... If you feel hot.. just go for the fountains... Robb's "new" favorite food place.. This area really reminded me of a holiday once in Switzerland.. in the Wallis area... not bad.. not bad at all.. Did somebody loose a hat??? Ok.. let's check out the white stuf.. That looks familiar... display.. Chris?? what are we doing here??? now what is this?? that looks familiar... scary?? Aangezien het nog steeds erg warm was... volgende darkride... This place is just beautifull.. i really have to go back here someday.. well.. i did score 100 points so... It's a shooter More darkride fun.. but this time with a twist... Now what is this?? Next darkride.. next place too cool down a little.. especially with all the ice and snow around.. there will be plenty more pictures of this ride in the next update random people trying to cool down a little... They even have a food place next to the ride... and yes.. it was excellent wait a second... this is in the dutch area of the park.. This one came out nice.. hmm, i need to think about buying some other lenses for this camera for darkrides... ok.. next darkride.. pirate themed?? It looks so pretty... Time for a walkthrough to cool of a little.. it was nice and relaxing.. although the lady with the water thing spraying during the ride was a bit annoying... after some waterrides.. it was time to check the powered coaster.. Time to check out the rest of the park... robb is being robb and trying to eat the car?? or dreaming about driving in one of these or?? there's soo much that can be said about this picture... Next stop was Silverstar.. Thumbs up for this one This ride was a lot of fun (especially during ert ) First stop of the day.. Our hotel for the night

Day 9.. Part 2 Holiday Park I checked out the place at the end of april of this year (on the same day as Tripsdrill) and i was very worried after riding EGF that day.. Rain was coming (but not yet there) while i was on the ride that day.. and the ride itself.. well.. it did not come near how it was this day (and it did feel worse to me then the year before..).... But that's my personal opinion... Today it was running amazing and i guess i experienced it the way it was meant to be running.. What a ride... here are some pictures.. I only see happy people.. Thanks for the awesome time Next train... ehm.. Lou.. Ladies... happy ladies... Airtime.. helmet person is holding on to his helmet.. must be major airtime i guess... owh my... here we go... He looks very happy doesn't he... "extreme" zoom.. hi terry and other happy tpr riders.. you should enjoy the ride instead of holding on to a piece of paper Happy riders.. just starting to move.. The other train on standby... ERT time.. Right next to this "beauty"... Everybody is chilling... Just in case... Many familiar faces... can you see the (ejector) airtime?? Looks nice... more hairtime... owh.. more tpr members... Hi hanno.. i'm here... Already had the credit.. so skipped it.. Just chilling while going up on the drop tower... it was a shame that the sun blocked me from getting decent pics from the drop... scream.. that's more like it (hairtime) Hairtime?? Plenty of open mouths all around... more tpr members... hmm, this looks nice... Spot the tpr members... Ok ok.. i guess it's time to go... But no worries.. we gotta keep Robb happy.. hmm, i guess i have to go back and get a better picture of this one.. without using the flash of my camera.. Testdriving the camera on the darkride... I see something in the distance... Chris is having fun... a few minutes later the discovered something was missing... Time to cool of a little... More happy faces... Happy riders... This does not look bad at all... i see something... ok... welcome to europe.. How are you doing sir?? Bik Mike is chilling.. but what's that?? Random stuff to be seen on this boatride... What's going on there?? welcome to Holiday Park What's that in the distance??

All summer long - Kid Rock

It's that time again.. what time?? Time for another update. Day 9 started with a visit to Tripsdrill. My first visit to this park was last year during the mini-europe trip... and i loved it.. I stopped at the park on my way back from Austria in February to check the progress on the new woodie named Mammut.. I drove 5 hours for a quick visit in April.. And now there's the mainland europe trip visit. Every time i visit this place i see new things, plenty to do.. and plenty to see and so on.. I can continue talking about this place for a long time.. so let's put on some pictures.. Hope you like them.. i'll leave you with this picture.. time to go and check out the next park... Is it joy or?? surprise.. SoapBox ride time... The park also has some quiet area's where these life.. final drop overview.. a little wet?? ^same... i should say something.. but i just don't know what... here they come... Time for the Jungbrunnen... food offcourse... the place to be for.... Looks like a great idea.. let's go and get something to eat.. one of the many small details at this place.. i can tell a long story with this picture.. but you better check it yourself.. owh.. that's why... Time for something else... but.. ehm.. why are you laughing?? Don't lose your shades How's it going Lou?? more expressions.. a picture says more then a thousand words... Another favorite i have to check out every time i'm there.. the tree house.. as you might have noticed.. i did like the ride and i will visit the place again to see how the area turns out in the end.. More random hairtime.. More hair and a happy Big Mike.. tpr members are enjoying the ride.. ... flying.... Can't wait to see what the future will bring for the "path" on the right side of the train.. under the track.. Hi Terry, how are you doing?? I do like the looks of these trains.. owh yeah.. ther's more in this park.. let's check out this ride.. That's more like it owh my.. why did we check this out??? more hairtime hands up... Hairtime Big Mike was hard to miss this day.. but i forgot where it was.. so this will have to do Last year i found a perfect spot for some airtime pictures... Thumbs up... looks like the ride is ok.. More familiar faces.. come on.. you are allowed to smile.. More photo's from this angle (despite the sun in people's faces) see?? Big Mike is loving it.. coming up the lifthill.. How's it going steve?? we made it back to the station... what should i say.. go for it and enjoy the experience.. crossing the "track" for the waterride.. Mammut looks nice from up here.. and yes.. they did let Robb operate the coaster (by the way.. those clocks are nice) Eevrybody is checking their maps.. to figure out how to get to the ERT.. we are there

^ well... That picture was from the second time i did see you guys on that ride.. First time was in the station (i even waited a little to try to get some pics..) and this was a "little" later.. At least it was pretty cool inside...

ok.. although we're not yet on the next page... it's time for another update.. This too keep things moving and keeping on schedule to finish this report before leaving for the next trip... Day 8: Phantasialand As usual.. the pictures are in the order that they were taken.. so this might result in some "revisiting rides" pics... I'll leave you with this lovely picture from outside the Dragon bar.. this was the beginning of the night which resulted in Divv's most memorable day of this trip so far... More fire.. The sun was shining Car from the parade.. "nothing special" Random people enjoying Winja's.. i enjoyed another ride on this one thanks to the VIP cards.. Was this ride that boring?? another coaster.. Waterride seen from the outside... What should i add to this picture...... there are even more darkrides at this park.. time for the next one... and even more fire.. Water... Theming.. it's always a good idea to get some pics of Talocan... Is that fire in the background?? Next darkride... Mystery Castle.. did no go in.. did not feel like it while walking around the park this day... and yes.. finally.. the big ape.. New scene.. no more birds.. wizard of ozz?? Tarzan... Under water.. ehm... i think i know this one... don't have a clue... giant spider... Looking back.... Now could these be the german names for the original scenes... at Holllywood Tour More "ghost" stuff.. This looks familiar... Dark ride time... the new hotel... the first drop picture you see all around the world.. Just a little bit of Fire.. moving on... just chilling.. again.. soo many details (on the train) to look at.. sun and shade interaction... smile happy tpr riders there's plenty to look at while waiting for... Time to test the camera a bit more... another attempt to get some decent pics in the que area... indeed an yes... I'll be very honest.. I just love Winja's, such an awesome ride... now.. to which ride does this train belong?? Even more small details to entertain you while waiting in line for this ride.. There's so much to see around the ride and it's track.. I see happy faces... Looked like a nice way to wake up in the morning... Waiting for the train to come back... First stop of the day.. Black mamba I don't have many daylight pics from the hotel area.. so this will have to do.. it's anice sight to wake up to.. ain't it?
