Great TR so far! I love your pictures of "Crystal Wings". By the way, the text on your T-Shirt is the beginning of a German children's song that is basically about "people sitting on the toilet and screaming for toilet paper". I won't get into detail, but if you could buy this song on CD in the US, there would definitely be a "Explicit Lyrics"-Sticker on it...

Bingo!

Yes, and I just recognized it because it's the only (or at least one out of very few) example of bad theming at a Disney park. Okay - here's my picture:

Disney's Animal Kingdom?

Sneaky Sound System - "Pictures" (Tonite Only Remix)

Nice TR! Was fun reading and reminded me a lot of my "First Time to the US and Florida in particular - Trip" last year. So there was a "Christian Music Festival" at IOA or did I get that wrong? Sounds weird...

Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen?

What you call the "Reichstag" is actually the "Brandenburger Tor"...but at least it's located in Berlin as well - pretty close to the "Reichstag". So you're not that wrong.

Kylie!! (X2008 Tour, Cologne, Last Tuesday) Increeeeedible Show! Loved it! So if you have the opportunity to see the show - don't miss it. She'll be touring Europe till August.

Nice Trip-Report. Always interesting to read about the impressions that Americans get, while traveling Europe. I am guilty. That fence is my fault!

Okay...time to introduce myself: My Name is Jens (pronounced like the japanese currency plus an "s" ), I'm 25 years old and live in Cologne, Germany. I study linguistics at Bonn University and work at a publishing house. My home-park is "Phantasialand" but there's a lot of other parks like Walibi World (Netherlands), Holiday Park, Walibi Belgium or Bobbejaanland (Belgium) which are not that far away and which I visit quite regularly. My favorite park, up to now, is Universal's IoA and my favorite coaster is Sheikra, but there's still a lot of parks and coasters to discover for me. I signed up here quite a while ago, and have been a "passive member" so far because I was interested in reading more trip reports from all over the world, than the German coaster-boards have to offer. Okay...I guess that's enough information for the beginning. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Greetings, Jens
