Keep making posts like this and you'll find out! Actually he is indeed a terrible person! Proof?? He tried to eat me during my visit last year! Surely that's not a nice way to treat visitors from far away lands?

RMC single rail coaster at Silverwood?
viking86 replied to gbioryl's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We need some pictures of that dirt so that we can analyze whether it's RMC dirt, or if it's a different kind of dirt. -
The legendary Johan Cruyff, one of the best soccer players of all time, passed away at age 68. I remember as a young kid, the "Cruyff turn" was one of the first moves we learnt in soccer practice.

Really excited to see track being put in place! So excited to have an RMC being built in my neighbour country! -
Show us your collection!!!

I usually haven't collected much stuff on my trips, but during my trip to Orlando in 2014 I did a bit of fridge magnets collecting. And of course I also have my Flower & Garden Magic Band from the 2015 trip. -

^You have been on this site for almost 3 years, haven't you learnt by now that we enthusiasts know better than the coaster manufacturers??? -

Thanks for keeping us updated on the construction, looks like the ride is coming together nicely. Really excited to see the what the whole area will look like when theming is done, I'm sure it will look fantastic. I also love the view down the path in the last picture! -
Did two days of military service this week, so naturally I had to get a picture. It's not every day I'm dressed up in uniform and with a gun.

It does show off some of the potential in VR, being able to add a completely new storyline to an existing ride. I haven't tried VR so I have no idea what it could be like, but I would definitely give it a try. -
Great to see the Hulk coming together again! Looking forward to see a POV when it's done to see if there are any noticable shaping differences. They are square indeed! There is also a square support on the right. Why I have no idea. Probably just to mess with us enthusiasts, to keep us speculating for hours on why they have done such a thing...

Are you a soccer fan or do you play soccer?
viking86 replied to Hattuchili's topic in Random, Random, Random
You know there is an expression called "dusting off an old thread"? Well, I think we can call this one "digging it out with an excavator"... So yeah, I was browsing through the TV channels and noticed that MLS was back on today. With that in mind, I figured that maybe it was time to bring back a soccer thread on this forum. Before starting a new thread I did a little search and turns out we already have a soccer thread. Heck, I have even posted in this thread back in my early TPR days. A lot has happened since last time this thread was active, there are many new members on this forum and soccer has become increasingly popular in the US over the years. So yeah, any soccer fans out there? Tell us about your club, who you support and why! As I posted back on page one back in 2005, my team is SK Brann from Bergen. Next weekend is the start of the season here in Norway, really looking forward to being back in the stadium after four months, despite my expectations for this seasons being very low. But first we have an away match 450 kilometers away which I will be attending together with probably 600-700 other away fans. If we manage to get away with a draw I'll be fairly pleased. Below a picture of the view from my seat in our stadium, which has a capacity of 17686. I'm predicting that we'll average around 12k this season, depending a bit on how the season goes. We managed to average 10k in the league below last year, so let's see. My view in our stadium -
My stomach is full and I'm feeling highly satisfied.

PortAventura Discussion Thread

It's definitely not straight, but at least it doesn't matter in this area since it's only storage track. But while we're on the topic of "wobbly track", I was looking through the pictures on the previous page and I noticed this. Even from this angle you can clearly see the "waves" in the track. I'm curious to see if they will fix it before the ride opens, or how the ride experience will be if they leave it as is... -
I drive a 2005 Toyota Avensis. It's not the sportiest car, but it has served me well for almost 5 years now. Been on several long road trips to both Denmark and Sweden with it.

^You are of course correct, got the two companies mixed up for some reason.
