NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Yes I agree. And this was supposed to be (what I've read) The First Euro Fighter. That said, after this one and all it's colourful track - suddenly EFs went "dark" in theme and paint scheme and a similar track layout, set for several. Most of them, from what I have seen, and ridden. There are some exceptions of course. Rage (England), a clone design; and Speed (Wales) an original design, come to mind. But still... so colourful it was! -

Wow. A really amazing "digest version" of the tour David. Really first rate! I loved it. And that is MY ARM in the back of that Tagada! This is it - and there I am in back, hanging on for dear life, LOL -

^ It was really fun to ride, and after so many years it still (IMHO) really ran smooth, from what I remember in the '09 Tour. 2009 - Bon Bon Land - Walking towards that luscious looking Euro Fighter. (o: -

It was raining at Farup Sommerland, where we rode Lynet and Falken in '09, Dave. Power Park, Thunderbird, our mini-Grand Prix were all ridden in good weather. (And I do hope TPR gets to go back to Power Park.....some day.) -

Good old Dog Fart Coaster. -
Crouch. Climb. Conquer. Comfortably.

My home park, PLAYLAND, has always looked as though it was a total midway setup, able to pick up and leave for the next town. Except we do have a fairly grounded wooden coaster there LOL. But also with the gawdawful alsphalt to walk around on, with minimum shade, if that, from the arcade overhang. Woo hoo. When I go to theme parks like Disney, Universal, and even the Chinese Happy Valley chain we visited last fall, I really enjoy how they try and blend everything into something thematically cohesive. Not really that easy to do, hmm? And Disney has been doing it since the original Anaheim park opened. Theme Parks. All the way. GO TOKYO DISNEY SEA! What I gots. What I wants.
