MY FIRST TRIPREPORT - Euro2016
Stonem replied to Alex1337's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I visited this park last week and it literally impressed me. Every single attraction was a top class ride. And the detail.. wow. I was expecting a very good park with some decent rides, but every ride was the best of its kind. I liked Temple of the night hawk too, it's true that is just a mine train in the dark, but is such an old attraction. And in the complete dark you don't know what is going to happen next.. I had fun on that ride. It's obvious that Colorado is 1000 times better, it just has been the best mine train I have ever rode (in terms of intensity! It left me impressed how amazing that ride actually is.) And chiapas.. WOW! The last drop was such intense. I didn't expect that. -
MY FIRST TRIPREPORT - Euro2016
Stonem replied to Alex1337's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great "first chapter", I'm looking forward to read all the complete review. Gardaland is my homepark, in my opinion there isn't any very good coaster, but still a good themed park. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
Stonem replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode Taron last week. All I can say is WOW! This is an awesome ride!! The pov doesn't make justice to the ride. Every transiction you see in the pov is really forceful, and all that is mixed with strong ejector airtime. It just throw you off to the other side of the train all over and over, it's like riding a crazy bull. Incredible. I had one ride under the rain that was my best ride on a roller coaster ever. Even the little trimmed camelback near the end of the track that usual provides a small floating airtime, that time it ejected me out of the seat! And the launches are super fun! A big applause to Phantasialand for this new addition!! I'm very satisfied -
Best park for coasters in EUROPE
Stonem replied to Henry M's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1- Hansa Park. Both Karnan and Novgorod are two crazy intense coasters, some of the best overall! 2- Port Aventura. Shambhala (awesome coaster), Furius Baco (crazy launch and nice coaster but TOO much headbanging), Dragon Khan (Decent B&M with a good 0-g roll). Next year with the stratacoaster it will be even better and will have the crown as best theme park for roller coasters here in Europe. 3. Liseberg : Balder (awesome airtime), Kanonen (intense and compact) and Helix (perfect inversions mix and insane airtime) are great as well. 4. Mirabilandia : iSpeed (awesome launched) and Katun (best inverted I have ever ridden) 5. Parque Warner : Stunt fall (still one of my favs), Batman (intense and awesome), Superman.. not as great as the other two, too much soft but still a good ride. -
B&M Restraints: Old vs. New
Stonem replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I hate the new restraints. I have ridden a few wing coasters with them and they get so tight at the end of the ride you can barely breath, especially on Raptor. Moreover, it is true that you reduce any possible head banging, but it's also true that those restraints ruins all the sensations, I can't imagine on Valvarn where the most decent part will be the ejector on the drops, and you even won't be able to experience that because of the restraints that will keep you glued to the seat -

Just found this video on youtube, I was wondering if the clip on the right has been speeded up or not The difference between the two vids is just unbelievable! If it was true, I am hoping it will be rainy on my visit at the park -
Most Overrated coaster?
Stonem replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have to agree with you, I found Blue Fire pretty forceless too and I don't understand why people are so amazed for this ride. imho the unique interesting part of the ride is that final in-line roll which provide a crazy ejector air time.. But all the rest of the experience is like.. meh, too much boring and soft. And the theming is disappointing considering Europa park's standards -

Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread
Stonem replied to zburns999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would like to see replaced Vudú with a Giant frisbee like SpinSpider! But don't you think a new coaster would be possible? let's hope so! I'm really looking forward for a new coaster. -
Glad to see you are enjoying my country! It would be fun to meet you around at some theme park, but I understand it's just a family and friends trip so it will be for another time with the other enthusiasts ! Once in 2010 I saw Elissa and the other tpr guys queueing at Gardaland for Space Vertigo and they let me surpass the group because they wanted to ride it togheter, but I don't know why I haven't started conversating with them

Kolmården Discussion Thread
Stonem replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I will go at the end of August, and I think I will have to go alone cause all my friends want to go next summer, but honestly how can I wait one more year to ride this beast? So if you mind go on these dates let me know! It would be better to go in group than to have a "single rider" trip. I think I will visit Liseberg too! -

On their facebook page they posted that today they have changed the cylinders on the train and finished all the tests needed. So for all the people who were planning a visit, Wildfire will be open from tomorrow -

They said all the area will open on the 30th of June -
I miss so much Hansa Park. I would like to go back one day. The thing I liked the most about this park is that their rides are not just coaster, but they want to give you kind a sort of "experience", starting from the queue line to the exit (for example the exit of Fluch Von Novgorod was such a pleasant surprise!). This park has two kick ass roller coasters, and beautiful landscapes. Too bad that is so underrated here in Europe, they really have clever ideas for their rides. Karnan is just pure love <3

Gröna Lund Discussion Thread
Stonem replied to Tobias94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ugh, that means I will have to go twice to Sweden in this two years. This summer for Wildfire and next year to visit Grona Lund! -
I'm just waiting for 2017 announcement video in order to book my flight. I have never been in California so this will be my first time, do you guys think in July I will certainly find the (probably) new coaster/ride open? I don't know how the things work in Six Flags, but I think they never opened a ride after July.

The most rare coaster credits
Stonem replied to Stitch's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
"I segreti della terra" - Felifonte. According to coaster count, I am the only one who rode it lol It has been operating just for a few of years, the park now is closed. -

Something like Falcon's Fury? Oh yes, please. That would be amazing -
La venganza del enigma at Parque Warner Madrid has different programs of the ride depending by the hour of the day! The combined one was surely the funniest, also we have to say that being tall 100 meters high they provide a wonderful view on the top and great tons of wind and feeling of speed when dropping down S&S towers may be not intense, but they surely are very enjoyable!
