Europa Park Discussion Thread
fdelhomez replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's what we can call photography. The wait is long for the new season opening, but it will be fantastic. Europa Park is one of my favorite park. -
Hi everyones, I get my HD vol 2 thursday and did not put on this thread my opinion without viewing all the sequences. If HD 1 was very brilliant, HD 2 is just the best thing I've ever watch in full 1080. As I said for the first one I buy lots of BR dics, but there's nothing to compare with those two coasters in the raw. TPR make me love and discover lots of things in the amusement park industry. The best part for me was the Blue Fire footage, just incredible, for those who just watch some Youtube HD samples of this amazing disc, it's hundred times better on your home TV. And Robb, just letting you know, if anyone have a little problem on Steel Dragon and Speed : No Limits, you can press the ff button and skip the 2 secs and get back on your ride once again. You've made a fantastic job Robb, and regarding to the next trip TPR is about to have I'm sure the next RCITR HD 3 will be AMAZING. Once again thank you so much for the time you take to create a jewel like this Blu-Ray is. Look what was in my mail las thursday Even the TPR logo in 1080P looks living!!!

I really know what you mean, it's also not my favorite car brand and I was shocked too, so quiet that sometimes we thought the motor was shut down (and there was not the "start/stop" option) and for the Fright Nights you'll be missing something, Experiment 10 was HUGE! -

I really thought about telling you we were supposed to visit Thorpe Park, of course I'll be there next year for The Swarm, and also taking a look at Chessington, so if you want to join and maybe guide us you're welcome. Fabien -

And the video (also recorded with an Iphone 4, sorry for the quality). Hope you'll enjoy it. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Thorpe_Park_2011_r7fv[/coastertube] -
Hi everyone, First of all, sorry for the pics quality, because of Ryanair and their luggage restriction I wasn't able to take my Nikon reflex with me, so most of the pictures (and the video) are from an Iphone 4 (some of them from a little Fujifilm...) once again sorry. So we came back from London with some good souvenirs ,-) we spent 3 days, 2 in London and 1 in Thorpe Park, and it was the first time. Let speak about Halloween things in the park, in my opinion some theming was missing in the park and more "fright characters" would be prefect for those types of events! BUT, the mazes were just WOW, the first we did was Saw Alive, that was very very good, but it was the worse of the 5,then comes "7" : each rooms illustrate one of the seven sins and believe me they really did the job well, after that "The Curse" drives you around a crime scene with very dark almost in the black rooms with strobe effects and strange atmosFEAR! Then comes "The Asylum" that makes you feel uncomfortable with the patients waiting for you in the dark, heavy smoke in this one and something special at the end of this maze! But the best one was "Experiment 10" themed as a government test laboratory were something goes wrong, during the queue we saw some people living the rooms by the emergency exit and we discovered why! In the other maze we travel by small group of 6 to 10 holding the guy in front of you on his shoulders but in "E10" they split you one by one. Has you are alone it became very hard not to cry like a baby, there is noisy section, small room where you stand almost 1 min in total black without knowing what to do, or go ahead in a small hall four-footed. I won't tell anything else to leave the surprise when you get there. The ride part was great exept Colossus and X-No Way Out, Nemesis Inferno was my hundred ride, Stealth did not work early in the morning but when it opened, it was amazing! Saw The Ride kick ass a lot. Flat rides are good but too much spinning for me. We finished with a visit at Madam Tussauds, very nice place, I loved London and this week-end. Fdelhomez. We had to rent a car, and big surprise : the car was great. London, here we go! So amazing. Classic picture. Even the cabs are themed! We eat our first lunch at the Mc Donalds in this blue section. Our car ready to take us back to the hotel. Channins Hounslow Hotel. Second day, here we are! We're about to be Thorped out! Fright Nights. Stamped! I'll be with girls today Let's start with Saw The Ride. Beyond the goodness. Nemesis Inferno is waiting for us. Yes, ride #100! 3 girls for me! Even with those face I love them! Colossos was good in the front but painfull behind. God.... That drop.... Stealth was the 101 ride, and OMG it rocks!!! Take a look closer, something sexy is raising from the floor. In few minutes girls, you'll stop laughting. 3rd day, back to London, we park at Chinatown and travel city by cab. Favorite actor for me. Sexiest actor for Popo. Watch our honey he's gonna bite you. Yes we met up once again. Hoooo he wants to touch your boobs. She asked me to do it, it's not my fault. Arrrrggg, I don't share. So hot. Is the picture upside down? End of the report, thanks for reading.

Hello and sorry for making wait 2 days for an update of my summer trip, so I'll put the 2 last now For the moment, it's Fraispertuis City near Epinal in north est part of France. The reason I came all the way up from Marseille to this little park is because they have a world record ride (at the moment I'm typing this the recors has already been broken) a S&S El Loco with a fantastic steep drop at 113.1°! It's a fun park for all the familly and with a price at 18€ no time to waste, let's check this out. Welcome to Fraispertuis City! well themed battle splash. More water? Fully packed of kiddies rides for all of you huge familly members. Far west wheel. But they also have an insane drop tower. Before the last drop, the ride fail to fall above, look at the girl on the left! A small Zamperla disc'o coaster. My first Soquet ride! Wheeeee time. Take the tunnel. Almost at the top. Swing boat, just behind the battle splash. The real things starts now, enjoy the pics. The first drop goes through a tree. The station, I love the trains. The release lap bars candoms! It's steep. Through the tree - each 500 riders Fraispertuis City give a tree to the forest neat the park. Hang on, it's fantastic. MMMmmm, I want more S&S rides, exept Sequoia adventure style. 90 degrees. Nice coaster, and great day at Fraispertuis City. Thanks for reading. -

Hey everyones, Part 3 of the summer coaster tour, here I am in Walygator Park at Metz, and there's a reason I'm here : The Monster - ex Orochi! Jean-Marc, the chef technician and manager of The Monster's team gave me some tips about that B&M inverted coaster, to adapt it on Walygator's ground they do some change on the structuren so now it's taller than it was, the first drop is a little bit longer but no as steep as Orochi, it's a clone of Raptor from Cedar Point! The main change on this ride is that the middle section has no more BRAKES, the 2nd part of the ride is unbelievable intense, the 2 corkscrews and the 2 helixes are perfect, it's breathtaking! And another great thing for you is that Jean-Marc allow me to shoot some pictures from a non-guest area! I give him a HUGE thanks for what he've done for us coasters enthusiasts! Thanks Walygator, great addition for your park! Welcome to walygator. They have their own cars. Closed for the day. Usual? The new Terror House with actors inside. Let's start with this horrible thing. Dropin'. Nice from the outside but inside it's hell. Happy rider?!? First turn around. I believe I can fly. The dive show, pretty good. Vekoma banging machine. Loopen. Wow, here it is, and it's very good. We're about to ride it! Yeees! The trains are shiny. Be prepared to recieve a lots of G's! Voltige time, Jean-Marc is drawing a Monster graph on the mid-track section. Huuum, lovely! Vertical loop intense. Perfect cobra roll. Now ladies and gentlement - TPR exclusive pics. The layour is very nice. Bottom of the drop. Closer from the loop. Changing G's moment. I like it. Last exclusive pics. A big big thanks to Walygator and The Monster Team. I will remember this day a long time. -

Hey, now is time for day 2 & 3 update. We get a sleep at Guästhouse Balthazar in Brühl, and yes it's a moment I've been waiting for a while, we are about to visit Phantasialand! We spend 2 days in the park, showing my Club TPR card at the ticket booth gave us a discount, I say us instand of I because the lady at the ticket booth was shure that this card did not gave a discount at the park, so I ask gently to call a manager to check it out, after the call she was so sory that discounted also the entry of Elodie, thanks Phantasialand to be so gentle! Now the park : it's brilliant, so clean, so themed at a point that photos did not give the park justice, the rides are AMAZING, they got some fantastic rapid rivers, a WOW drop tower in the mystery castle, Black Mamba an intense inverted B&M, Talocan an incredibly themed top spin and one of the best ride I've been on : Winja (Fear & Force). We saw the "Dragon fight" show. I finally know why Colorado Adventure is called "The Michael Jackson" thrill ride, it's because he inaugurate it! That was one of the best park I've been to! Pictures! Welcome to Phantasialand See we get the first discount thanks to Clu,b TPR - 5€ of the full price for the momen the park is empty if guests. I've been waiting for this so long!!!! In an instant, that drop show how powerfull Black Mamba is. Intense 0G. Corkscrew, fast turns close to the ground and elements with water, it has everything! Michael's inside me Somebody is maybe enjoying it a little bit too much. themed. Talocan. Pretty. This thing is insane. Even the chairswing looks great. Here's a snack where you can eat awesome fries. Maus au chocolat queue line. the station. Spectacular show. "the six dragons" Nice theming. It's a magic house. The home of awesomeness! This ride is just incredible, believe me it's a blockbuster ride. That's all for Phantasialand - next update soon with Walygator. -
07/13 Fraispertuis City and Le Pal updates added - end of the report. 07/11 Walygator added with excluse pics just for Theme Park Review . 07/10 Phantasialand added. Hello everyones, The 24th of June was my 30 years old birthday, and the better way to live it was in park, better say parkS. I've planned a trip since May to visit 5 new parks for me : 1st - 1 day at Bobbejaanland in Belgium, 2nd - 2 days at Phantasialand (and yes, they gave us the discount thanks to Club TPR!!!) 3rd - 1 day at Walygator (for The Monster, the B&M from asia, something different on it and exclusives pictures for you from a non-public area) 4th - 1 day at Fraispertuis City (Timber Drop, the world's record of few days with a first drop at 113,1°) and finally 1 day at Le Pal (half theme park with a fantastic but too short spinning Mack, and half zoo) I'm gonna do this Photo TR in multiple times because it take a little time to do it, so it's gonna be a 1 park review each days some come back to check photos everyday. Let's start this review with : BOBBEJAANLAND. The road was very long for me because I have to travel all the way up throught France and all Belgium from left to right but, after 1200km the job's done. The weather was not prefect but nothing to stop the rides. That was last Sunday, Elodie & I arrived at the park half an hour before the opening, first thing strange, you have to buy the map of the park at the ticket booth, if you don't you'll find in the park giant maps to help you out. I was there for two rides, Typhoon, my first Euro Fighter and Dizz! Typhoon was very good, intense loop slow heartline roll, very fine! Dizz disapointed me a little bit, it's very good but the brakes zone slow down too much the ride so for me it's not at it's full potential, but it's very good for the whole family. Staff there was very cool, and general public respectfull. I enjoyed this Belgium park but more theming would made this park fantastic. ok, enought talking, enjoys the pictures. Welcome to Bobbejaanland! TPR girls - theme parks - coasters & Coca Cola! What else? We're the first riders for Typhoon. First it goes vertical, but then... It goes beyond vertical. Intense loop. Love that part. Here they go! Nice curves. The clown of Kinderland scares me. Suspended coaster. Twisty section. This Mack powered coaster was pretty good. Nintendo & Bobbejaanland entertained us! Speedy Bob - Wild mouse really wild! Hang on girls! Now is the moment for Dizz pictures. Thanks Bobbejaanland for this fantastic day, see you soon Now it's sunday night, guess witch city we are sleeping at this night? The answer in few hours!

Wöw, åmåzing trip report! Really I loved it, pleasant to read. Thank you so much Robb gives us the envy to go ride at GL and you had more with Liseberg, Atmos Fear makes me anxious, I'm a little bit scared about drop towers but always fun to ride, first time I went to PortAventura, my friend and I looked each other when we saw Hurakan Condor from the highway, so I can easily imagine what it did on you -
Here are the 2 on rides video you can bought at the exit store of thoses rides First take a look at Ispeed, and please RE-watch the ride looking at that guys behind me : [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Ispeed_On_Ride_gkjq[/coastertube] Now then, here comes Raptor, I really find it fun and pleasant to ride : [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Raptor_On_Ride_1nz6[/coastertube] Thanks for watching.
