Dark Vampire

Congratulations to both of you!

Lol, and what kind of google earth do you use then? Looks like a crappy version.

Post your picture of your house from google earth if you want and if it is quite clear. I wish I could post mine but it is not really clear, hopefully one day they will have clear pictures of where I live.

I have seen the chained oak tree but who would have put the chains on the tree. Was it Alton Towers? Did Earl believed an old woman and died a family member by chance? Is the known of the tree? A second question. Who is the storyteller of the preshow? Could it be I heard him in a National Geographic documentary once?

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is indeed called Extreme Rides 2. I have searched for the disc where it is on an made this picture:

Thank you for the pictures. 2 years ago I went already to Toverland, and in Januari this year, I went to Plopsa Indoor with some friends. I had already heared it was really small, but never expected it was so small. But we had a great time! How many people were in Plopsa when you went? It looks very deserted.

A very big happy birthday! This site is so great! I don't think anyone have could predicted that the site would grow to one of the biggest and best themeparkclub/site in the world! ("one of the best". what do I say? It is the best!!)

It would be so cool, our own Millennium Force in Europe.

Intamin has solved the problem of the chain lift. Now the boats will have a stop on the chain and then they will continue their journey. Here is a video clip of a short time ago: http://ed.noterik.com/adserver/edtv_player.php?ph=BD&asset_id=18600# (first you have a 20 second commercial and then the clip of DVH begins) The Efteling has said in another video, the reason they don't have a big splash where the wave is going over the front of the boat is that people can take pictures of friends or familie in the boat.

Black Mamba has indeed a cool station too. Just like Nemesis. De draak (the dragon) at Plopsaland has a nice station too for a powered coaster: Here we were waiting on our ERT on De Draak in Plopsaland.

Rock n rollercoaster: Space Mountain and other stations at Dlp are nice too. And if we are not speaking of coasters: Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hmm I thought end 2007.Surely there will be soft openings in the early end of 2007.

... on the EMAIL DAN links you sometimes see in the photo tr's? I bet you guys get the strangest reactions. Never thought to publice the reactions without the senders name in a tpr book or something? Would be cool, a own tpr book with the best pictures, most memorable trips, most hilarious things and stuff.

I find it very interesting to help somebody of his coaster fear. Helped a friend of mine too, as his first inversion coaster was Turbine in Walibi Belgium. I think everybody here was nervous when he did his first coaster with an inversion (other people have never been afraid). First thing, don't feel any shame that you don't dare the bigger coasters! It is very normal, you need to take little steps and before you now, you are going in almost every coaster without fear. You must remember that the scariest part of a coaster is waiting in the line. (=> once you are in the coaster, you aren't nervous anymore). With myself it wasn't different. When I was 17, I did my first inversion coaster. Before that, I always thought it would be too intense for me. The only coaster I was doing was BTM in Disneyland Paris (and casey junior too). Then, I think it was my 9th trip, I went for a view at the station of Rock n rollercoaster (was the second day). It looked so cool, the launch, the station, the theming, preshow,... but I didn't go on it. The last day of our trip was a very strange experience, I just said to myself, maybe I go on Rnrc this day. After the stuntshow we had not much time anymore (we needed to catch the train) I decided to que the line like the second day, but now I was a little bit more sure that I would go on it, with the thought, if I would be too nervous, I can go back. That didn't happend and before I knew it, I was sitting in the train with the restrains closed and on my way to the launch track, only one thing was going trough my mind. "I am going to do my first inversion coaster!". I had closed my eyes mostly of the ride but I thought it was so cool. Ok, the launch was a little intens and the G forces in the inversion too, but that was cause I never done such a ride before it. The strangest thing was that I wasn't really afraid, more nervous in the que. After my Rnrc experience my coaster experience was growing rapidly. Black Mamba, my trip to England in September 2006 (Drayton, Alton, Thorpe), Walibi World, ... Now I have a list of 58 coasters. Strangely, after Rnrc came the inversion coasters of Walibi and after that I wasn't really nervous anymore. A little on the drop of Oblivion and on the launchtrack of Stealth. So the next trip I am going to do is Germany I think (if I can go in August), Heide park and other smaller parks. Hopefully, you have got some inspiration of my story, and you dare to do the bigger coasters next time, and let us know then how it was. But I am sure you would like it!

Thank you for the nice TR.

Have you ever mailed or writed a themepark or coaster build and asked if you can have a folder, poster or anything else? What did they send you then and did you get? I mailed a few times to parks I was going to visit and asked for a folder of the park. I now a other guy he had a keychain of Mirabilandia after he send a mail, together with a folder.

That is the beauty of American television. It was kinda entertaining to see what you guys have as commercials on the television.

Thank you very much for the recording! I have already watched a part and it is very good. Only, do you guys always have so much commercial in a program?

Thank you for the pictures. Did you like Rnrc?

Happy new year everyone! Yesterday was very good, with lots of beer, wine and champagne. I really felt it this morning.

There is some disturbing news. The innovating radio navigating system which delayed the ride's opening is even now not working properly, the problem is that the ride can't operate with more than 4 trains at the time, which is a catastrophe for the rides capacity! Big worries in Waver, but the people at Doppelmayr have promised to do everything about this problem. Walibi thinks different, if Doppelmayr can't fix the problem in January, there is a big chance that they will remove Vertigo out of the park. Source: Le Soir Something to be worried about, or do you think they will not remove the ride so quickly?

During one of the test rides, a member of the staff has made this onride video.

Could anyone capture it and put it online? Dont have discovery channel here in Belgium.

Cool pictures, thanks! Really cool to see what it was like in 92.
