I was very impressed with Twister. For such a small coaster it feels really fast and it keeps up the pace all the way to the brakerun. I was also very surprised by how long the ride is.

I had the pleasure of riding Atmosfear on saturday and it truly is a spectacular ride. The view from the top is unlike anything Ive ever experienced, and the drop seems to last forever. I have uploaded an offride-video to youtube, including a nerd shot of the second ring being collected by the catch car on the way up.

Favorite wooden coaster: El Toro @ SFGADV Favorite steel coaster: Storm Runner @ Hershey Most insane coaster moment: Insane @ Gröna Lund Favorite non-coaster ride: Atmosfear @ Liseberg I think my answer is quite obvious....

I spent the rapture at Liseberg. It would be cool to see a totally spectacular 2012-style doomsday from the top of Atmosfear, but the drop was not a bad option.

I believe all Mack watercoasters does this. It creates a nice effect when riding.

Ive been on five: Boomerang - Wiener Prater Cobra - PowerLand Sidewinder - Hersheypark Zoomerang - Lake Compounce Flashback - Six Flags New England

Im heading over to Sweden in 1 1/2 weeks to check out Gröna Lund and Liseberg. I havent been to GL since 2007, so Insane is also a new credit for me. Im starting to get real excited now!

I got some new wheels for my 2005 Toyota Avensis yesterday.

I can already imagine the advertisements: "Come ride the ro-ro-ro-rollercoaster"

Outside of Norway: Sweden Denmark Finland England Belgium France Czech Republic Hungary Austria Italy Spain United States Not counting airport landings: Germany Holland

This looks great! I'll be going to Gröna Lund in just a month, looking forward to ride it. Also Insane is new from my last visit so it should be good day. (Liseberg the next day isnt bad either... )

King of the ice!

The soccer season has started in Norway so I chose a picture from 2007 when my team, SK Brann, won the league for the first time since 1963. This picture is taken in the city center where atleast 50000 people (theres only 250k living in Bergen) had flooded into the city streets to celebrate. I dont think there was a single emergency flare left in the city as hundreds were lit up during the celebrations. What a year that was! http://www.aftenbladet.no/archive/00190/brann14_jpg_190993a.jpg http://v1.cache5.c.bigcache.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/8728239.jpg?redirect_counter=1 http://www.aftenbladet.no/archive/00191/brann16_jpg_191000a.jpg

I just realized that the supplier for the company I work in is located in Shenzhen. Maybe I should ask to come along on the next supplier audit??

Its amazing that you can see four different coasters in that picture! Im going to Gröna Lund in a little more than a month. Starting to get very excited now!

This morning gas prices was above 14 NOK per liter in Bergen, Norway. According to my calculations this equals to $9.54 per gallon. To fill the 60 liter (15.8 gallons) tank on my car would cost $150.

Im picking up my new car after work tomorrow, a 2005 Toyota Avensis 1.8 liter 129hp. Im uber-excited now, Ive been driving an old 91 BMW 318i for five years now. It will be quite a difference to drive such a new car. It's identical to this:

Sierra Tonante @ Mirabilandia Great American Scream Machine @ SFGADV High Speed Thrill Coaster @ Knoebels

I prefer Batman, but like most other coasters Im very relaxed when boarding the train, and I just enjoy the ride. SLC's is one of the few coastertypes where I feel a bit uneasy before riding, and where I find myself shouting (woooowww) during the ride. They do throw you around quite a bit, some more than others, but I am actually yet to come off an SLC in pain. I cant say the same about Intamin *coughColossusatThorpeparkcough*

Gary Moore passed away while on holiday in Spain. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110206/ap_en_mu/eu_britain_obit_moore This is very sad. I remember his song "Over the hills and far away" being one of my favorite song as a kid, and still is...

Heres another video, with offride footage of the ride.

I vote for the ninja cat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F8VqK1mOGo&feature=related

My friends seatbelt became undone during the ride on Cyclone @ SFNE a few years ago. He didnt notice it until the final brakerun. None of us were surprised though as that ride rattled the hell outta us...

I dont know if it has been mentioned, but Vertigo @ Walibi Belgium was a big mess. http://rcdb.com/3457.htm

I instantly thought of this scene from the British comedy show "The IT Crowd". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEJHctD-kjs
