Good to know! I've been pretty busy and haven't been able to play as much as normal, but this event is much better than Easter!

Never liked the American Idol experience, so I'm glad to see that go. The Backlot Tour should also go, as it's been cut down so much and it's not even a working studio anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw the Indiana Jones show. Did they ever update it? It was the exact same for so many years that I stopped going. I agree with Chuck, a new and improved Indiana Jones would be awesome!

TPR Scandi Trip 2014 Mini Updates!
jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We are live tweeting the entire trip! Follow us on Twitter @themeparkreview http://www.twitter.com/themeparkreview Today's update! Liseberg! TPR has started our day at Liseberg with an amazing ERT on Balder! We love Liseberg not only for it's amazing coasters, but it's a beautiful park! As a TPR and Liseberg tradition, we hammered nails and got to sign Balder. TPR members got to leave their mark on Balder! Now I can update my Facebook profile photo! TPR loves hammering nails into Balder! Garbles wrote some stuff on Balder! It's hammer time! Even KidTums got to sign Balder and hammer in a nail! And of course we updated the TPR section for this years visit! Our rides on Balder were absolutely AMAZING!!! Still my #1 wood coaster in the world! [vine] [/vine]This is what we call the "Intamin Fart." When you hear Balder fart, you are getting crazy ejector airtime! Balder running absolutely CRAZY!!! Ejector airtime on most hills! And that was morning ERT! Evening ERT here we come! There is not a slow moment anywhere on Balder. Each hill serves up a buffet of crazy airtime! After Balder we moved over to Helix to get in a ride as soon as the park opened. (We have ERT tonight!) Here's the view out of the Helix station! Who wants to ride? They added a 5th train to Lisebergbanan when the line got over 25 minutes. How's it going Six Flags? Helix is a fantastic ride! Will be shocked if it doesn't end up in the worlds top ten roller coasters! Ross and Craig sharing a "moment" on Balder. You can see all four of Liseberg's big coasters in this photo! There are just so many OMG moments on Balder! There are a ton of "TWISTY" moments on Helix!! I just rode Balder again. OH. MY. GOD!!! I had forgotten how much better it is than El Toro! INSANE!!! [vine] [/vine]Once again, Liseberg gives us alcohol and awesome roller coasters! Love this park!!! So this just happened ERT on Helix! TPR loves Helix! A toast to Balder, Helix, and Liseberg! "Hey Garbles! Look! A wheel chair!!!" Look what Helix did to me! Once again, Liseberg gives us amazing coasters and alcohol! Some of us got a little carried away with the signing of Balder! Our night rides on Balder were incredible! The amount of airtime is just amazing! TPR through the years at Liseberg! It amazes me how immature & petty some people in this hobby are. But it's fine... We took care of it! Take a look at Liseberg in the evening... Incredible! You see this a lot on Helix! There are many reasons why we love Liseberg and this is one of then! It was a hell of a lot of fun Scaring people in the haunted house to tonight! Although I might have scared Pontous the most! Final ride of the night on Bader, Incredible. Absolutely incredible!!! -
2 Words. Disco Yeti I really wish people would stop complaining about the yeti. It's really stupid. In fact, I feel that most people who complain about the yeti have never actually seen the original version of it! IMO the Yeti is not really "broken." What is "broken" about the yeti is that it shouldn't have been a giant, expensive-as-hell AA in the first place since you see if for a total of 1.5 seconds as you fly by it at 30 MPH. It's not like the Lava Monster in Journey where the ride stops, you can look at the character do it's "show" and then you move on. Even when it worked you wouldn't believe how many people totally missed it. It was one of those "If you blink you miss it" situations. Like I said, I think the real mistake wasn't about if it's working or not working, but the overall design and placement of that scene in the ride. And because of that, I don't think we will ever see the yeti get "fixed." IMO, the "really awesome expensive yeti animatronic" should have gone in the scene where the yeti rips up the track is. Then you'd REALLY be able to see how awesome that figure is! Realistically, it was just a huge waste of money. 100% agree with this. Broken or working, you have no time to appreciate it where it is.

It really is an amazing looking water park! I'm especially loving all the sharks. Great job Shane! -
Manhattan Express is definitely up there! Rode it a while back and it was much worse than I remembered.

I always make the mistake of looking at this thread before lunch! Looks like some more great food! -
Just watched the Never Ending Story on Amazon Prime. Such a terrible, but great, movie.

That lego music player is really cool! The new area looks really nice. Seems like it'll be a great addition to the park.
