5/10 - Didn't know half of it and I pretty much guessed on two questions, the answers just 'sounded good' and I got them correct, so it could've been just 3/10, well it's alright for me.

Happy Birthday Nicole! I hope you have a good, fun time, and enjoy the day!

My top 10 looks like quite like this (some coasters should maybe rank higher, some a bit lower and I might've forgotten a few good ones) : 1. EGF 2. Balder 3. Nemesis 4. Silver Star 5. Colossos (Heide-Park) 6. Oblivion 7. Megafobia/Grand National 8. Rita QoS 9. Air 10. Lisebergbanan

Great update! Nice pics and funny captions as always, I especially like the one about the trees, . I had a great time, and btw. I'll post some of my photos soon (have to resize etc.) Hope to see more TPR members in 2008, if not before. -Tommi.

Having only been on a Zamperla Volare and Air, I undoubtedly have to say Air, even if I'm quite so sure that it's not the best out there. Last ride I got on it though was amazing, after a short shower, it floated so well, and you got some great airtime on the small hill before the turn-around.

Nice photos of very nice cities, love the old architecture with many details. I haven't been to Brugge, but would like to. I miss Belgian waffles, they're the best, mmm . Good TR!

Over here the 'preppy' look is getting more and more popular, ie. Lacoste is everywhere, ie. if you randomly pick 12 people , atleast one of them is 'bound to wear something from the brand', most likely t-shirt polo's or then shoes, where they all get the money for those items (ie. a regular prized polo t-shirt costs 75 € (95 $ ), I don't know. Also the 'emo' and 'rocker' style is also getting more popular all the time. Also on breaks, there are like 50 guys (in smaller groups) outside bouncing, passing, kicking some soccer balls on the small school yard which is a bit strange. (there's a total of 400 pupils in the school, if you count the adjacent junior high (300) and the (my) high school (100).

Great TR!! I have to agree that the logflume's supports look really cool. Also it's nice to see photos of alpine coasters , nice views, and a Vekoma in the bushes, I should try to get there sometime. Haven't seen much photos of this park, or actually almost none, except for the coasters, so thanks!

Before I was an enthusiast (June 04), I usually visited one park a year and then there were of course long times when I didn't ride anything. Still now because of the looong off-season, I don't ride any coaster in 6 months, which is a bit annoying.

^ Good question. Nice find . Haven't seen many pictures of this ride, also it's good to see that their new Screaming Swing is open. Now that the park has got 5 credits (and there are a few others in St.Petersburg), I should start thinking of getting there sometime, as it's afterall my third nearest park (yes, even PowerPark is further away...).

Mine is of fat phallic objects and balls. Actually, it's just that I love fried bananas with ice cream. I haven't eaten them (a portion) for ages (atleast in 3 months) though. I don't like this avatar so much anymore and I will change it within a month.

What about all the left-handed people out there don't they deserve their own left-handed version of this cool new emoticon ? Joking a bit there. Anyways it's a cool addition. When I go to bed soon, I'll instead of counting sheep or cockroaches under my bed, I'll sad and patheticly "pound it til' I'm gone" erm..that sounded wrong. Anyhow, Great stuff

I haven't really done a 'marathon' on any coaster, well except for some of Robb's and Elissa's Finland trip's ERT coasters, which have short lines anyways. I've ridden Balder 5 times in half an hour, could've done more but I wanted to take some photos and eat etc. To be honest I don't think I would like to ride any coaster more than 15 times in a row... Speaking about marathon's I went on Särkänniemi's (quite boring) rapids for 13 times in a row back in 2001 , when our soccer team visited the park, we had fun, as the rest of the park was packed, ie. incredible (in Finland) 70 min queues for Tornado, (I know it was the opening year, but still). Besides that I was afraid of many coasters then.

Mine is Olavi. It's pronounced like "Oh love-e".

To be honest I think that the Take Off was a bit faster than what it looked like, but I wouldn't still call it insane by any means. Great TR once again! Some really great captions there ie the : if Elissa was only a head, the facial expression suited the caption really well imo , and the EXCLUSIVE Derek's fore head and Jet Star sign and the Dan's head tumour which looked quite real, lol. Nice long update. -Tommi.

It's 77 F currently here, this whole summer has been nicely warm for Finland, the temperature (here in the southern part) hasn't got below 68 except for like one day so far.

^ Hell yeah! < Is sweating. V Has an uncle living in Lesotho.

I'm interested IF I don' get a place on either the TPR Spain+Italy or Midwest trip, which obviously is/seems difficult seeing how many are interested in them. Also I think I could afford this better, if I get more time to earn some bucks than until the end of this month. I've been to Holiday, Europa and Heide Park already, but that doesn't matter at all, as there's still lots of other cool new rides and parks to explore. (I'll be 18 next February).

^I concur. Nice pics, looks like you had fun. I'm jealous of your lawn, it looks so lovely green, clean and nice.

^yay, classic! I played it in a resteraunt's 'kid's corner(lol), a week ago. Last game I played was PES 5.

Mine is the 31st of February. (really it's 19th Feb. as stated in my profile).

Yeah, all of those trips definately 'look' good. Shame is that I couldn't make the Japan trip, because of darn school... Midwest or Spain+Italy are possible though, it just depends of how much the flight to Cincinnati costs at that time of the year, also due to many 'mid landings' . And lastly I think my school starts on the 14th August, the next day after the trip ends, which is a bit typical. Actually I can't see any reason why I couldn't come to the Spain+Italy trip at the moment

CSI Las Vegas/Miami and NY are not as good as CSI LV imo, but still good. Amazing Race The Simpsons Seinfeld (Family Guy)- they don't show it in Finland, but I saw 7 episodes in Sweden, it's really good. LOST Holiday Showdown Those are my most favorite TV-shows. I do also watch ER, Wife swap, Pimp my ride and some other shows occasionally.

^^ yeah, true. Quite surprisingly I'll say that Eurosat also at Europa Park has quite a good sensation of speed too imo.

After two weeks on the 15th of August, too soon.
