I'm assuming this isn't sarcasm, but if it is, please disregard what follows. I'm all for giving under-appreciated portions of a coaster their due, but that pre-lift is about as nondescript as any I've seen. This isn't a shot at the design of the coaster by any means, but let's not go overboard on the RMC praise. There are hundreds of coasters with a pre-lift section nearly identical to that of Storm Chaser. Not the first time in this thread RMC receives praise for making a standard flat turn between the station and the lift. Must be nice for them, getting praise for what every single coaster manufactures is able to do.

Looks great! The first drop looks steeper than I expected, should provide some nice thrills.

Lightning - Revere Beach (just to break up the Crystal Beach Cyclone pattern, as I believe these rides were pretty much identical)

Damn, reading through this report while being hungry was a mistake! So much great looking food, particularly the Bison Slider and the Bacon Mac & Cheese looks soooooo tasty! Great to also see some new perspectives on Cobra's Curse, really looks like a solid addition to BGT!

Awesome that this has become such a success! Great way to provide us with a great product, and raising money for a good cause. Really looking forward to receiving mine, it will be framed and put on the wall right away when it arrives.

Good night!

^Definitely! The park opens for the season on April 23rd, but they have not set an opening date for this ride. On their website it only says "Opening summer 2016".

I suddenly realized that I had completely forgotten about this ride, so I decided to check out Tusenfryds website for any updates. Turns out they posted a video on April 1st, showing that the concrete casting is nearing completion. Looking forward to see the progress once they start on the scenery and theming around the ride.

Those are some gorgeous shots of Dominator! For sure a very asthetically pleasing ride.

Nice trip report, thanks for sharing! I will try to get my ass down to Germany later this year, Phantasialand looks like a wonderful park!

Damn this game looks amazing! I'm completely blown away by what people are creating with the alpha. Oh, and this might be my favorite PC photo so far! The atmosphere in this shot is just wonderful!

Great pictures, thanks for sharing! Phobia looks awesome, and seems to fit well into this park. And like everyone else I love that miniature track for the sign! I also love this shot of Boulder Dash, not something you see often as much of the first drop is usually obscured by the trees.

I'm hoping that it turns out to be a tunnel that they just haven't told us about, and wasn't in the rendering!! (What??? One can hope!!) No reason not to hope. I'm always baffled when people seem to think that renderings are 100% accurate, and that nothing can change during the construction period.

Damn, with all the parks opening for the season I'm really starting to feel the urge to ride a rollercoaster again. Unfortunately nothing has changed since I made this post in late August year and will probably remain so for a couple of more months. Time to do some trip planning!

^I haven't seen Zootopia yet, but pretty much anything would be better than that stupid carnival area. AK is such a beautiful park with a fantastic atmosphere, except this one area which sticks out like a sore thumb. I would definitely not mind seeing it replaced with something else.

Just use Norway-time, it's 6 PM here!

As always I'm looking forward to the annual concert with Chris Thompson + Mads Eriksen Band in Bergen in May. Really small, intimate venue and always a fantastic atmosphere with a very high sing-along factor. Here's a clip I recorded from the concert in November last year. I'm sure you have all heard this one before. (Chris Thompson was one of the co-writer for this song).

Today we have had pretty much everything.... sun, clouds, snow, hail, sleet. On a side note, I'm very happy with daylight saving time beginning last weekend, making it stay brighter much longer in the evening. I'm done with winter darkness, I want summer!

^That looks incredible!!!

It may be small steps, but it's great to hear some positive news. Lets hope for a lot more of this in the coming days and weeks!

Trains have arrived. Love the theming on the front car! Link: (also includes some toilet updates for all you toilet enthusiasts out there)

I'm gonna have some cake.

I love the hub in front of the castle. It's HUGE!!!

Hmmm one of our customers is located in Bielsko-Biala not far from this. May have to find a good reason to pay them a visit...
