Although Europa Park has a bunch of well themed coasters Black Mamba kicks all other german coasters a$$es themingwise. And you weren`t lucky cause it ran well that day...Black Mamba runs well EVERYDAY by now... Greeds...GeorgeT (Besides : Hoping for more detailed reviews about ISpeed, Blue Fire and Joris and de draak...)

At this very moment I realize that the best reason for getting rich (maybe just a "little") is to be able to join this kind of TPR trip. Now seriously it absolutely awesome what you`re making of the situation...with GeForce and RingRacer falling out. Without even being on this trip you (Robb and Elissa) have my total respect for what you offer to all the people you`re travelling with. I guess you have a lot of fans out there...and you TOTALLY deserve it. GeorgeT

So you liked Blue Fire, Robb...nice to hear. How was the comparison between morning and afternoon rides ? Is is just me, or does Blue Fire run MUCH better later the day ? You know, I was a litlle unhappy, when I heard about MORNING ERT on B.F... But if you all enjoyed your morning-rides everythings fine, I guess. Besides...totally looking forward to Olympia-Looping and hopefully some flatride-reports. Have fun... GeorgeT

Yupp, there`s the first onride-video (but not front-row, sadly)... Greeds...GeorgeT

Really...just WOW !

Hi guys and welcome to midland europe...! I`m so happy, cause the weather-forecast is absolutely perfect for the upcoming week. To all those who`re intersted in following the soccer championships...there will be huge display in Europa Park near the soccer-scooter (inside the park), in the entrance hall of Castillo el Cazar AND inside Hotel Colosseo, close to the fountains. There will be many sitting places AND you`ll even be able to watch from the balcony of Mille Miglia ! So...Europas coasters should be running very well due to the heat and I`m hoping that all you`re park visits will be totally awesome. Greeds... GeorgeT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY TO KEEP US UP TO DATE. THANK YOU !!!

To make things clear...the hugging-thing was, of course, just a joke. Don`t want anyone to be afraid of me running around there and grabbing people I don`t know. But I`m absolutely not shure about Elissa...I wonder how fast she`ll be running away from me...while you, Robb, will be hopefully concentrated on something totally else. PEACE !

Dear Robb... First of all let me thank you sooooo much for this kind and extensive answer. I didn`t expect that... I`m gonna be there and watch out for you guys...and OF COURSE I`m gonna hug everyone wearing a TPR shirt...though I don`t know any of you in person...I don`t mind. Morning ERT on Blue Fire...Hmmm...I know this baby sooo good...the ride will be fun, of course...but far away from it`s full potential. Hope you guys will have some real good afternoon rides and hot weather later...FRONT ROW (For BF being a total front row ride IMHO) ! For those who know the haunted castle already...some really good new effects/monsters are gonna wait for you and SILVERSTAR has the best season ever... So I´m shure you`re gonna have a VERY good time...and if I don`t get you in the park I´m gonna get you in the Colosseo Bar later...hopefully. Last Question : You`re gonna be at the Colosseo already on the 30. of July in the evening, right ???

So, as Europa Park im my local park, I would LOVE to be there when TPR hits the park...I don`t expect much attention...just like to be there and maybe have a little contact. Is it possible to get the information when you`ll arrive and leave Europa Park ??? It would be nice, if possible, to get this information soon so I can plan this a littlebit... Thanks in advance... GeorgeT

Well, here we go : This is a rumour, but not unrealistic because of the connections the person has, who spoke about it : The next huge attraction at Europa Park will be a flying/suspended coaster in the portuguese area...located close to atlantica supersplash... Probably ANOTHER Mack prototype... Greeds...GeorgeT

I know MANY people saying that Europa Park made a huge jump up on their list after Blue Fire opened. It depends wether someone is more into "thrill" that into theming or family rides...I just think that Europa is much more "complete" now...

Yeah...I guess "shame on you, Europa Park" is a little hard. I`d like to have an explanation from the park`s side before I judge here, although it`s always sad to hear of people who like/love to ride and who`re not allowed to. I`d interested in Robb`s and/or Elissa`s opinion about this subject...and how other parks do handle this... GeorgeT

This is sad to hear... Once there will be chance to talk to one of the Mack`s about it I´ll do so. They will be absolutely unhappy with this kind of review, I`m shure. If the answer/reaction is worth to mention, I`ll post it here. Greeds...GeorgeT

This is soooo interesting to read. Cause before building Blue Fire, I felt the park was totally incomplete...and if people were "blown away" before building Island...well I hardly understand. Of course I liked it, but there were years I didn`t even go there because of the missing thrill-factor. I was too frustrated because of Silver Star`s trims...the coaster that could be, let`s say SHOULD be soooo good and thrilling. I prefered Phantasialand, for example, Holiday Park, even Hansa-Park... But I guess the Europa-Park package is now hard to beat...now that even Silver Star is running so good, or let`s say BETTER than before. I cannot say how curious I am how people will like and vote the park now that Blue Fire is added... GeorgeT P.S. Silver Star is running definitively better now, especially in the first half...but the velocity still varys. While some rides this year were , let`s say "just" as good as the better/best ones last year...some of my late afternoon rides were forceful as hell...I was really blow away by the potential that coaster has but never showed the years before... P.S.S. Some effects were added to the haunted house...and I would say those are very good...an improvemend, definitively !

Wow...now THIS is what I`d call "heavily themed"...really just wow...what a great place ! I`d really love to spend some time there... GeorgeT

Nope...

So five inversions...at least...WITHOUT OTSR`s...Oooooooh yessssssss...

Would like to excuse myself... My Jokes about D.K. were absolutely pointless...and tasteless as well, I guess. Sorry for that... (I wasn`t well informed...thought that Robb`s onride-comments were a slap in the face of Dick Kinzel...I didn`t know he belongs to Kings Dominion, too) George "who`s gonna be more careful with making jokes about things he has no idea of" T.

Robb, I feel a little relieved now... Besides...is it true that Dick Kinzel spontaneously started to suffer from Dick...Sorry, I meant penis cancer after he saw your Intimidator-Review on youtube ? Hearing that the biggest, the baddest AND the meanest coaster just opened at Kings Dominion must have ruined his maleness totally... I mean, bad enough he totally greyed out on media day several times...WITHOUT EVEN RIDING IT... AND : At this very moment I guess all the VIP`s at Cedar Point think about "upgrading" MF with those over-the-shoulder-restraints, cause they truely belief that those restraints make the ride at doswell that good... GeorgeT

I do not understand why you call people of your own community dumb, Robb... Just because they probably have a different opinion about the restraints ? I mean, other people have other sizes, other muscles and a different grade of sensitivity and so on...so this could be totally different to them. (I hope a little criticism is allowed here...) GeorgeT

Robb...thank you sooooo much for this ! Can`t think of a better coverage...it`s just perfect this way ! GeorgeT

Oh my God ! I`m sooo curious what Robb`s gonna share with us...do we (probably) have a new TPR-Nr.1-Steelie-Candidate ??? Greeds...GeorgeT

Dear Ledgy...! I guess you just produced a (little) piece of TPR History...chapeau !

That coaster looks absolutely amazing...makes me a little jealous not to have this kind of quality-B&M close... Have fun... George "must accept just to have the over-trimmed SilverStar over here" T.

New Trim`s on Silver Star ! Europa`s B&M Hyper "Silver Star" got electrical ("eddy current") brakes/trims instead of those mechanical one`s during the off season. Rumors say that this might make the operation during the winter-time possible... While I didn`t test it myself yet, some reports from the german forums say that the ride just got smoother while others said that Silver Star has increased airtime now...but all the reports were positive !!! I think this is some good news... GeorgeT
