  1. Thanks for the pics, loved this small update. Although.. the caption on this picture should be.. Still smiling... the pain came about two hours later... and it still hurts today...
  2. Time Flies.. It's already time for the second part of Day 7.. Visiting Schlossbeck. This park was fun in it's own way. There was enough to do.. and enough people around to have fun with.. enough said the boat did not sink.. but he did get wet... owh my..... another happy person... Best ride of the day??? Spinning flat thing.. supreme swing fun... unique photo.. Robb is doing his thing... somebody has got to loose... going round and round.. new "full contact" sport??? please.. don't let this boat sink... More nautic jet fun.. is this picture better Larry?? What's up dave? They even had some go-karts (upcharge) something random.. don't know how to call these.. but looked like fun... Is it joy or is it pain?? Some sort of water/boat slide... Hmm.. this looks interesting... and then there's the..... ever seen airtime on a slide?? ... Air... i don't want to get wet... Please don't shoot... Time for some more nautic jet photo's.. onride...

  3. Owh wait.. i'm forgetting something... Time for a little Bonus update.. as you might have noticed in Robb's update.. Divv was having a hard time this day... Just to help his memory a little.. i selected some pics of him during this wonderfull day... And yes.. he did get on all 5 credits at Movie Park and the one at the next park.. Schlossbeck... Hope you like it... owh yeah.. and even on the kiddie at Schlossbeck. Holding on.. to the bench... Enjoying Bandit... i love the difference compared to the expressions around him.. Near Ice Age... Near the High Fall after the SLC.. Hi Elissa.. Fully focused on the MP Xpress More bench the ride.. this time near the water... Can somebody please stop that anoying sound??? sleeping beauties on the kiddie.. I don't want to lose my bottle of water.. keeping his head outside.. just in case?? Leave me alone.. i need to recover from this one... Owh man.. why did i get on this ride.. hope it stops quickly...
  4. Sorry for the delay.. but here's the next update.. Day 7 Movie Park Germany. What a day.. a whole lot of ERT, good fun and some of the best "sound effects" i can remember of this trip (or am i just nasty??) I tried to select some photo's that show the fun (and sound) myself (and others) experienced during the day.. Hope you like them. Thank you No rocky yet... hold it... stop right there.. how many Red Bulls did the "old man" drink today??? A picture says more then a thousand words.. Food time hmm... what's the difference here?? Next train... Happy people after their ride Chris.. what can i say... Hi Terry Next up was Bandit.. they let us in.. just before the rest of the public.. Thanks the "perfect" way to ride this ride??? Don't loose the hat.. Possible wet waterride... Well.. you know what it means when you see something like this... Just in case you forgot where we are... After this.. i went "crazy" later on the day.. and decided to go on this one.. as my first drop tower... Hitting the brakes... Next volunteers.. it's a shame you don't hear what i heard while taking these photo's.. Different sound.. ( Hi Dave) start the sound.... Still happy while going up... Imagine a sound.. which could cause this expression... After these rides.. i watched a whole lot of TPR members go on the "High Fall" here we go.... It's not perfectly focussed.. but i guess you get the idea... ok.. here we go.. MP Xpress time... going up... keep on smiling.. Happy faces on the Crazy Surfer let's go to the next area of the park.. for some more ERT.. and how was your ride?? next credit... Hairtime Thanks for visiting superman... or mommy?? more joy One hand up for balance?? (cowboy style??) Happy people holding on... compared to my last visit.. they did change the colors on this one.. 2 done.. let's check out the next one... translation?? anyone?? I guess some where a bit worried of this after Bobbejaanland.. but hey.. it looked like a nice smaller version.. the amazed Larry? Hi there Big Mike This ride was new for me.. and yes.. as far as i remember i liked it.. After arriving at the park in the early morning.. it was time for the first coaster..
  5. Time for the next update (time flies) Day 6: Heide Park After a nice (long) drive we arrived at the hotel for some food and some hours of sleep.. the next morning started with some water during the day some more.. but at the end.. there was some sunshine.. anyway.. enough weather talk.. picture time... Who needs words?? Thanks.. More slides... "experiment" Some kind of pirate show.. missed it.. (warming up of the audience took long..) Sunshine results in more happy people... Launch don't lose your glasses... another logflume.. Slide fun.. smile theming.. this ride gets the universal sign of approval... More tpr members .. More airtime.. More colossos pics (as you can see i kept on walking around and around at the park) (as usual) more happy faces... next ride.. something random... "onride" More TPR members enjoying this ride... TPR "takeover" what should i say... Having fun?? There's so much to see at this park... it's not the best picture (sorry about that) but i just could not resist.. Random people on scream... Looking back... smile or surprise due to another lifthill?? bobsled time Just a part of the park.. tried something else... Monorail track was always in the way.... Nice surprise... "Honda Racing" looked to be doing some testing which could be seen from the park Time to enjoy the rest of the park... Happy riders.. what's up Chris? Can you see the airtime??? TPR train during ERT Many different expressions.. going fast? Deser Race ERT.. plenty of joy left (despite the rain) You can see everybody prepped for the rain... It was wet so most of the pics of desert race came out blurry... Time for some Colossos love... First stop that morning... Desert Race.. Enjoying some theming at the bar... Hotel entrance when it gets darker outside.. Even this outside area looked great ( i guess it was for the smokers..) There was so much to see at the hotel... Food
  6. We are already at Day 5 of the TPR Mainland Europe Trip 2008. Which means... time for Walibi World.... This place used to be my home park.. but lately nothing new has been added.. so i decided to spent my money on another place (Toverland). Here is a small selection of the pics i took that day. And especially some that Robb has not shown in the "mini" updates yet (as far as i remember.. ) Hope you enjoy them And then it was time to go... Food time Looks like this ride was ok?? well.. you can see what it did to a nametag... More hairtime and tpr members ( Hi Dave) spot the other tpr members.. more front row.. at least they were running two trains... front row.. More tpr members.. Don't you just love hairtime?? close-up... weels etc.. Time to get back to enjoy Goliath a bit more... Obligatoire... water magnet anyone??? The rapid opened Food.... here comes the sun.. help is on it's way??? Castle and skyrider... some random people.... Direct hit... is there still some kind of smile?? why did i get on this ride??? Splash Battle fog... Here's some water.. maybe that will wake you up... Robb does his thing.. and everybody else is falling asleep?? Wok's waanzin.. the kiddie... Mouse fun... Is this a happy face??? Looks like more tpr members went for this ride... By this time the park opened.. and since El Condor usually does get pretty long lines... next stop.. It's no onride... but close enough i guess?? The other ride during ERT was Robin Hood.. Hi Lou Almost back again.. ERT train going up the lifthill My first stop of the day was Goliath.. Early morning...
  7. Thanks again for all the nice comments. These are the small things that make it worth (for me) to do these updates... I like the pictures i take myself (although i always see points of possible improvement) but it's nice to hear that others enjoy them as well. Sounds a bit silly maybe.. but it makes it easier to spent the time taking these and putting them online. Anyway.. the second half of day 4 is now up.. aka Day 4 Drievliet. This was a new park for me... and i guess the place i made the biggest "mistake" of this trip so far... I only did one run on FormuleX.. i loved it.. but choose to take pictures of everybody else enjoying this ride.. instead of enjoying it some more.. But no worries.. the park is just an hour from my home.. so i will go back there (someday) enough said.. you know what's coming next I'll leave you with this picture of Robb.. having fun on the other (VIP) bus... thank you very much... Even in the back row... and more... more happy riders.. Hang time ehmm.. something comes to mind seeing this... Some people just could not get enough of this one... Hands up.. baby hands up... More people anjoying this ride.. are we getting bored yet?? part of a "funny" dutch movie... Airtime?? Go.. Go.. Go.. it's green.. Checking out the station (and looking for another picture angle..) Next train... Thanks.. smile for the camera... speed... Pleasantly surprised? that's the way... (well you know the rest..) launch baby launch.. i Guess i don't have to say much the next couple of pics.. or??? or the beauty of the trains?? was it the shape of the track and it color?? anyway.. time to get back to (i guess) everybody's favorite... Powered coaster station building.. Plenty details you could look at... The place looked to me very clean and nice another ride.. Looks like they enjoyed it.. feels good??? and off course the logflume.. i'll give you some of my favorites.. They also had bumpercars.. This picture looks familiar... No kids around so no water wars... Haunted mansion... i guess Looks like i was not the only one enjoying this ride before ERT started.. Yeah.. time for FormuleX I guess this says it all.. the experssion after this ride... that gotta be some funny footage... is it joy?? worries?? But there was more... it was a beautifull day... station building seen from the train... powered but not bad.. not bad at all... or.. (whatever comes to mind) expressions... Don't you just love happy faces... welcome back... going up... let's "hurry" to the next credit... And they do something to their passengers... these are some strange cars... First stop at this park... no clue on what to expect... it was a beautifull afternoon...
  8. i'll do some searching during the coming weekend... is there a maximum number of photo's???
  9. You are right Terry, i failed at capturing that moment.. i guess i'll have to clone myself to be everywhere at the same time anyway.. time for another update. Day 4 started with a visit to Efteling. I'll let the pictures do the talking for me... Paparazzi... that's it for this update.. Joy.. (the ride stopped here for a few minutes...) Beer.. for some a major ingredient of the day?? Paris.. that's where this trip started... it ain't "it's a small world"... Ezeltje strek je ehmm.. yeah... kids enjoying their fairytails.. laser eyes... sorry.. no boobs... what's up with this magician?? Dance baby dance... "pushing" the donkey.. Boat ride magician... Hi... castle... soo many small things to look at... see the elfs?? hmm, i should upgrade my camera lens for darkrides like dreamflight.... there's something about this place that makes it "special.. we see you Terry... More tpr members.. smiling for another camera... i spot tpr members... Happy faces after scoring another credit.. splash.. i had the feeling it was bigger/wetter last year.. but that might be me... yeah.. the ride has opened.. who turned on the fog?? are we done testing yet?? Welcome to being "french crunched" by dutch schoolkids... There is that train i was waiting for... let's sent a text message to "everybody" (sorry, no train in the pic.. took too long..) owh my.. the Flying Dutchman is testing... i've been here before.. but i never noticed this egg... Vogelrok was next... Hi Piers but it was not open yet.. so we did see a.... at least the sun was shining.. and since the park was about to open.. most of us headed to another popular ride.. more stuff to look at... soo many details.. for some reason i don't feel like my pictures captured the beauty of this waiting area... since it was not sure yet when the ride would open.. we got a sneek peak through the que area of "The flying Dutchman" advise on attack plan for the rest of the park... last one for this ride.. just chilling... no full train?? some hands up (stupid bar which blocks part of these pictures ) What's up Lou?? Hi Dave... Here are some pics from (it looks like) people enjoying this ride... Third stop of the day was the Bobslee "artsy" shot.. with empty train... diffrent brace positions... at least one person thinking.. "owh %$#@" Brace... Next train... don't you just love the different expressions... Next up was the Python.. small train... Looks like young and old(er) enjoyed this ride.. in the early morning sun... Happy riders on the first ride of the day.. Pegasus Flying Dutchman.. more regarding that later.. i love early morning park entrances.. Just one of the small details in the hotel room...
  10. Day 3 Part 2.. Toverland Toverland is my "home" park at the moment. It's opened al year round.. Which is perfect for coaster enthusiast around here who need their coaster runs during the winter time. Especially with Troy on their grounds it is (for me) a nice place to hang out. I was really looking forward to this visit.. and it did not disappoint... Enough said.. photo time.. Well done.. let's go and get a drink.. more ropes course to enjoy.. there's still some more Troy to enjoy... enough of this?? this is not the place you should be at.. biggest challenge for some... i can make this look easy as well.. time for a break? Easy?? Ropes course ERT.. Bobkart... what's going on in that mind.... sorry lou, but after running to get a picture.. well... don't you love ERT.. (empty waiting gates in the building) One of many crossings.. almost 90... almost... First drop... Not dead yet... "onride" looking back towards the halls.. lifthill shot... fly through the sun was annoying.. since it was making it harder to get some good pictures.. but at least it was dry happy riders.. In the mean time somebody tried to get away with the horse... Next train.. First drop fun... plenty of hands in the air.. one of my personal favorite spots of this ride.. Happy riders I love how the increased amount of green.. has made this even more beautifull Paradise?? yeah.. the bar opened some people were very determined to get up there... we all know how this ended... going for it one more time.. Next tries... Take cover... sorry.. we will not help you.. you have to make it yourself Time for some triangle fun... it's the small details... their mascotte kept an eye on the folks passing between the two halls the new attraction... the magic wand house see... more love and joy.. Boosterbike received it's share of the "love" as well.. First credit of the day (for some) Welcome to Toverland
  11. And by that you mean completely readjusted your back by smacking you around? It was painful to watch I cannot imagine how it felt. Great pictures as always. All the expressions on typhoon are fantastic. Indeed.. i did fly from one side of the car to the other at that moment.. but it was nowhere near the pain i heard in Movie Park Germany
  12. Thanks (again) for the comments so far... Day 3 started with a visit to Bobbejaanland... Don't know much to say about this park.. had a lot of fun there.. Although some of the coasters were hard to take good pics of i still have some for you all. Hope you like them... i'll leave you with some feet... Now who is more scared?? Oki Doki.. train... Powered coaster which surprised me a little... How did i do this... round and round and ... after lunch.. tpr evolution takeover.. "frozen" coke.. can make somebody very happy.. The chuck wagon... Let's shoot some more... Banana Battle... nice theming.. speedy bob was insane.... (after turning the key..) probably something historically related... please don't shoot me... i know not all of my pics are flattering.. the end... another target... pov... saloon... after thinking my camera had died.. i got it working again.. darkride time More ERT... and more challenges to get a decent picture... and some.. well some enjoyed it... and went for another ride... nice color after this "workout" what the &*%^ was this ride... Hold on.. it's almost over... Hi Chris.. well.. i guess this says it all... Hi Lou... If looks could kill... still smiling... why did i get on this one... some safety instructions... But elissa does.. and she's happy not to ride this one... they have no idea... everybody was lining up for this ride... aha, Fly Away... hmm, what's that?? sorry.. no more.. was in the wrong spot for good pictures.. Let's have a look at the park map to find the next stop... Hang time.. forces... More hairtime Next train... at least they are enjoying this one.. what can i say... gravity... don't you just love the different expressions... some hairtime.. Heading for the loop.. despite the clouds.. i could take some decent pictures... time for some ERT... does everybody have his/her food ticket?? food
  13. After our visit to Walibi Belgium there was the option to go to Aventure Parc Wavre. A lot of people went there.. (so did i) and here are some pics of this.. Hope you like them.. and please let me know if you don't like them (as well) Also... keep in mind that this is just a selection of the pics i took.... Looking forward to the responses/feedback... Only one finished it.... some even tried the black course... i'll smile for the camera.. but i'm glad i'm almost done... sun.. get out of my way.. i need more speed... hey.. there's a camera... i told you so that we would have a lot of fun here... should i brake already?? we now bring you the zip-line expressions..... yeah. this is cool.. ehm... what can is say.. More challenges.. well.. he's still there... Freedom... no.. i'll use my feet instead of Larry... Still having fun... By this time some of the group upgraded to the red course... it takes skills.. no statues here... it ain't the jungle.. but.. natural reaction?? different kind of exercise.. ehm.. well.. ok.. so that's what's up ahead.. almost there.. need to focus... pole slide fun.. By this time people were everywhere.. why is he taking a picture of me instead of being up here?? thanks for the idea of doing this during the afternoon time to boogie.. this ain't hard.. let's relax.. that is where we are heading for.. don't you want to hang out at the bar?? no.. this is more fun.. Back to the more normal "stuff" focus.... i do like this picture.. technically not perfect.. but the expression.. so where is this going?? more waiting... i did try to get a picture of everybody there... a picture says more then a thousand words... Just another kind of obstacle .. must focus... on... is it fear, is it joy or...?? what's going on there? more spectators.. is it joy? not too high yet i guess... Waiting in line to get started... with green.. before... rules... Total concentration watching the instruction video.. (in english) now why is he smiling?? there is something about this pic.. waiting in line for.... changing "room" everybody.. please listen before entering... since 3.70 is lower then the 3.90 inside the bus... anyway.. we are there.. the buses had to parc outside...
  14. Time for another update.... Day 2 of the trip started with a Visit to Walibi Belgium.. Couple of years ago i had already visited this park.. the crowds were insane that day.. so i hoped for better this time.. and especially getting all the stuff done i did not do the last time... Well.. in the end... i still have to go back someday.. crowds were "insane" that day... and i just don't like long lines... But at least i had a lot of fun this day.. enough said.. picture time.. next update will be the aventure parc wavre.... early morning, almost empty parking lot... hmmm Time to go.... another boat ride... strange exit.... They turned on the fog machine.. Yes.. it's a long way up... Just another small detail... could not resist.. why??? Have to go back... check out the que.. and the ride itself.. But they missed that certain sound... go-karts.... still not sure what to think about this one... don't you just love people's expressions.. logflume... time to relax... Line around Turbine... Nice place to cool down.. No clue on what's inside here... owh my... they have a tunnel... another angle.. Waterride fun.. ^ Random people crowds around Cobra Just in case you forgot where we are..

Nice photo spot... theming... But it looked like fun... yep.. need to go back to get on this one.. lines were... well... Time for something else... drop tower close-up... hi there ... ride 'm... That look... ^ Having fun?? Hi there Big Mike time for the "sad and pathetic" proof... Now why is everybody lining up here? TPR close up.. other side... After Cobra i went straight for Turbine.. this due to the fact that lines used to get massive for that ride... Waterpark rules.... welcome well this should have "warned" me about the rest of the day... to get in... theming... What's he doing there??
  15. Time for another update: Day 1 of the trip was the start of the trip (and ERT heaven). This day was spent at Parc Asterix.

What's this doing here?? i'm not yet in Brussels or?? Waiting for the gates to be opened Looking down on us and wondering... early morning.. no que..
  16. Thanks for the responses so far, i had planned to do another update at this moment.. but i'm still too tired from the trip (and having to work again)... Will do my best to do Asterix tomorrow...
  17. So here we are, just a couple of days after this excellent trip (thanks R&E and everybody else for an excellent time) and i'm going through the pics i have of this trip.. While doing that i might as well start a Photo Trip Report Don't know much else to say but.. let's get this "party" started... It looks like it will be picture heavy.. I do hope that i'll be able to finish this report before the next trip begins... Day 0: Jardin Day 1: Parc Asterix Day 2: Walibi Belgium Day 2: Aventure Parc Wavre Day 3: Bobbejaanland Day 3: Toverland Day 4: Efteling Day 4: Drievliet Day 5: Walibi World Day 6: Heide Park Day 7: Movie Park Germany Day 7: Schlossbeck Day 8: Phantasialand Day 9: Tripsdrill Day 9: Holiday Park Day 10: Europa Park (first day there) Day 11: More Europa Park Day 11: Walygator Parc Day 12: Disneyland Paris Resort(Day1) Day 13: Disneyland Paris Resort(Day2) Time to go back to the hotel..

Afro Duck Still no clue on the purpose of this tower... but there was more.. bumper cars go-kart Please don't shoot me Robb.. you can use all my pictures But we were there for the coasters.. right? Back at the park.. i did see this "bouncy bouncy" like ride with different restraints.. red eyes.. too many tourists?? enjoy anyway.. time for a small side trip... not sure why i took this pic what can i add to this?? ok, one more.. some interesting things below...

On our way to.... First look at the 2 buses for the first half of this trip Gathering in the morning in front of the hotel...
  18. Thanks for the photo's Beeja. For some reason i always look like .... on pictures... anyway.. all the more reason for myself to work on my trip report.. hopefully.. sometime this week.. i will start with it. It was nice talking to you
  19. There's one thing i've noticed... the order in which the TPR Member Photo Trip Reports are posted are not always the same.. for Holiday World it goes from recent(2007) to past(2005) when you look at it top to bottom For Phantasialand it goes from past (2005) to recent (2007) when looking at it top to bottom.. i guess it will be the same order someday?
  20. Looking at the location where the building i (according to these pics) i don't think is the 3th hall. it's way too small Looks more like a little storage area for the Technical/maintenance guys... But i might be wrong.. time will tell
  21. Thanks for the big update, loved the captions. Brought back a whole lot of exellent memories. can't wait for the next trip.
  22. Thanks for sharing these pictures. It's always nice to see how other people experience their park visits. There are some pictures of details i've totally missed during previous visits.. Looking forward to next summers visit
  23. Yeah More updates and pics Can't wait
  24. ^ No logflume for me indeed.. it opened just as i left the park.. and on the otherside... i guess i value my camera too much to let it get wet After driving 1100 kilometers that day.. i guess Italy is the next "challenge"
  25. Google helps in this case The ride has been designed by the Werner Stengel bureau and was built by Cordes GmbH, the company responsible for the prefabricated track as well as general construction of Colossos, Balder, El Toro and the roller coaster under construction at Everland, Korea. Rolling stock by Gerstlauer.
