I don't think anyone should have the right to demand to have an empty seat next to them. If there is a line it's all about filling up those trains.

^^LOL that is so true!

Looks like a fun ride, I'm sure it will do very well for SeaWorld. Love the roof in the station, that looks really cool!

^Twister is made by Gravity Group, not GCI.

I'd be more than happy to trade any rattling B&M with the.... ummm, 0 rollercoasters that I have nearby!

Nice trip report! Other than the rollercoasters I knew literally nothing about this park, but it looks like quite a nice park. Thanks for sharing!

Vi er flere som ønsker det! Sooooo looking forward to see the first drop!

^Of course it depends on what kind of coaster, but there is alwasy possible to find room for certain types of rollercoasters. I'm sure people said the same about Gröna Lund when it looked like this 15 years ago...

Yeah, I can only support what the others have been saying. Some drone footage would be awesome! I also really like RollerManics suggestion about strapping GoPros to some of the workers. Oh, and I absolutely cannot wait to ride Wildfire this summer. I will probably go sometime in the first half of August.

A comment on a youtube video called "Rollercoaster accidents" (which featured mainly flat ride accidents). I guess I should only go to Tusenfryd from now on...

^I had the exact same issue with the lapbar on Robin Hood. Shame, because the ride itself is alright. But the lapbar tightening makes it ratger uncomfortable.

Nice trip report! I was about to write "Lucky you" with the SLC closed, but then I saw you had to ride it later in the day. And yes, it is indeed a piece of crap (or crab or whatever you wanna call it). I also thought Speed of Sound was pretty cool. The new trains works wonders for this ride! I also really liked the tunnel on the backwards lift, it makes it feel a lot steeper than you're regular boomerang. Regarding Xpress I didn't find it very rough, it just wasn't very exciting. I love Rock'n Rollercoaster, but outside the layout just doesn't seem to work very well. Also the trains sucks, they are so cramped!

With so many rides opening I had completely forgotten about this one. I'm very curious to see it in action, and also to hear some reviews when it opens. With it's small footprint I can imagine this model being attractive to other small parks.

Today has been a near perfect day, so what better way to enjoy it than with a beer called "Summer". As always solid stuff from 7 Fjell.

I haven't had a beer with Nina Kleppe in a while, I should probably do something about that....

^So when do we meet at Kolmården?? Oh, and I LOVE those trains! Black/red/gold is a great color combination, reminds me of the western style steam trains!

You are right, nothing will stop the ride.... except the three other cables on the ride! And those four large shock absorbers at the bottom. While I don't know the exact way the S&S towers work, I always thought those were to ensure that the car would come to a smooth stop at the end of the ride, not to stop a freefall drop.

7 Fjell - Tjommi Another great beer from 7 Fjell (7 Mountains Brewery). "Tjommi" is a local expression, meaning "buddy/pal". The guys at 7 Fjell really knows what they're doing, everything I've tried from them so far have ranged from good to fantastic. It's awesome to have such a fantastic small brewery in my city! I think their beer is my current number one beer! Edit: To expand a little, we have pretty much had a beer revolution in Norway over the latest years. Go back 10 years and pretty much all the beer sold in Norway was from only a handful of large breweries. As of June 2015 there were 112 registered breweries in Norway, not bad for a country of only 5 million people.

There is no fixed recipe on how to make a trip report. Most of the time I spend at a park I don't think about the trip report I'm going to make, I just have fun and take a bunch of pictures throughout the day. Sometimes I will think that "I need to get a picture of this for the trip report" or "this will be fun to write about", but most of the time I just enjoy my day and take pictures of whatever I feel taking pictures of. Then after I get home sort the pictures, select those I want to put in the trip report and do the trip report writing. Normally I write the trip reports within 1-2 weeks after I get home so I have the trip fresh in my memory (I see some people take up to a year or two lol). I also use the pictures to remember in what order I did things. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can never plan a day at a park 100%, it will be whatever happens the day you're at the park which will define how your trip report will be. Just go ahead and give it a try the next time you visit to a park! There is no need to feel that a trip report needs to be up to a certain standard to be posted here, and I can promise you that people will always find something they enjoy in your trip report.

That looks great! I did the dolphin swim in Orlando back in 2014 and it was an awesome experience!

Perfect weather today, 20*C (68*F) and sun from clear skies!

You are right, nothing will stop the ride.... except the three other cables on the ride!

Great report so far! Your review of the coasters at BGT are pretty much spot on with my opinion about the rides. Kumba is just perfection, easily one of B&M's finest rides. Cheetah Hunt it's just so much fun, I could ride it all day long. The part over the water is my favorite part also. And as for Montu, I swear that batwing element in the backseat is trying to rip your face off!

^I definitely noticed some jerky movement when I rode it some weeks back, but I didn't find it uncomfortable or painful in any way. I only rode it once though due to long line, so I could probably give a more accurate opinion about if I had gotten a couple of more rides on it.
