That looks like a nice little park! I love seeing trip reports from parks I know little or nothing about, thanks for sharing! -
Lego Roller Coaster by CoasterDynamix
viking86 replied to CoasterDynamix's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This looks absolutely sweet! I would love to get one and the price of the kit is absolutely worth it! Unfortunately with transatlantic shipping and customs clearance it just becomes a tad too expensive for me. But I hope it becomes a big success for you guys! -
Der Zug des Manitu - Wiener Prater (video taken by David Ellis during the ECC 2005 Coaster Rhapsody tour, which I was a part off. I was not on this ride when this video was taken though.

Beer, coasters and culture, I'd rank it in the exact same order! Sweet report so far, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next part! -
NASA Social Trip Report - April 2016

So cool that you got to see all that awesome stuff up-close! I loved the "regular" tour at Kennedy Space Center, so I can only imagine how awesome it must be to do all this "special stuff". I'm so bummed we missed a launch on our visit to Orlando two years ago, we were supposed to head out at night to watch a launch, but weather was not coorperating so we stayed at home and the launch was postponed to the following night. Unfortunately that came in conflict with other plans, so we didn't go... This is so true! Seeing a real spaceshuttle up-close was one of few moments in my life which has left me in total awe! -

Hi and welcome to the forums! I've been to Gent twice (visiting the Volvo Trucks plant) so I have seen a little of the city center. Very nice city!

So here comes a quick trip report from Bergen Beerfestival yesterday. I had a great day, with lots of good beer. If my count is correct I sampled 16 different beers from 14 different breweries, and pretty much all was good stuff! Weather wasn't always on our side, but I still had a fantastic day that I enjoyed very much! Unfortunately I didn't take many beer pictures, so they're mostly showing the festival area. Welcome to Bergen Beerfestival Started the day at the local 7 Fjell Brewery, my favorite brewery! I started with a Cherry Berliner Weisse. A fresh and easy start! As you can see the weather wasn't the greatest... ..which lead to the tents being rather crowded! This was how it looked in between the rain showers. And time to take cover again!!! In the afternoon the weather cleared and we hed some really nice hours towards the end of the festival. Ending the mini-TR with one last crowd shot.

I love how every time a thread gets boring (by that I mean users are banned, posts are deleted and discussion returns to normal) a new thread steps up to provide new entertainment. First it was the Kings Dominion thread, then the Valleyfair thread, and now it's the Dorney Park thread that provides the "fun"! Not sure if the mods agree with me though...

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
viking86 replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Well, the launch might require a bit more space than what most people have, but that turntable switchtrack is totally doable!! -
On the bright side, it's better than being dead! I don't have a home park...

Going back to work today after 3 weeks vacation was tough. I really struggled to get out of bed today. Starting the day with 252 unread e-mails didnt help LOL!
