^ Larry, there's a pretty good fun house next to the "Tripsdrill tower" at SFKK as well...

Photo TR: Hanno at TPR's Scandi Trip 09
TPDave replied to Hhappy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Awesome stuff as usual Hanno! It's a shame the drop tower broke, it would have been nice to have some more reaction shots I didn't realise how much air there was on the eurofighter drop (or how special Brad looked at the bottom of it!). Keep up the great work!! -
Only a few weeks after we were there and the memories flood back! Great TR Dave "Fascist bunnies!" Wilson

The Travellers Taco and "Cheese on a stick" are also interesting ones not to be passed up! -
The restraints are just seat belts, so you feel really open. There were a couple of elements (the last turn!) that were crazy and took a bit of nerve not to hold onto the rails for. If this coaster gets built again, I'd hope the seats would be a bit more substantial as any kind of lateral force throws you right off balance and can be a little painful if you're not prepared for it. Overall this was a really fun ride, but it's got a little way to go before I think it can take off. I just got the sense that S&S still aren't quite there in terms of overall ride quality. Things like the sharp edges in the interior of the train, the obvious safety envelope flaws, the most primitive anti-rollback system that deafens everyone on the lifthill and the brakes that seemed to be on a mission to give someone whiplash. Compared to where Intamin are with hydraulic kicker motors and lift chains, double chains and EC brakes etc. it is quite apparent that they haven't built that many coasters and still haven't grasped the finer aspects of making a ride. That said I hope they improve and the ride is a success as it's such a refreshing change to the family ride market and I think it could be great for a lot of parks wanting to fill a wild mouse sized hole with something a little different. What on earth are you talking about?

Go and ask the title fairy http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=534676#534676 Go and ask the fairy for a title! I'll lock this as we only need one title thread

I agree with Dave, this trip is epic! It's one of the best groups that I've experienced on a TPR trip Please don't bitch about updates, Robb and Elissa have to so much to do on these trips, try being thankful that there are already NINE updates from Scandinavia alongside many other sets of pictures from other members.

You generally get about nine months notice for that one

Ha! I love the title fairy...

The title fairy likes your title. It could possibly change your avatar to match?
-
^^ Terry, you should have done the SCAD tower, it didn't kill any of the TPR members (try as it might!). HA! It was a slightly bizarre moment, but pretty funny!
-
That came later, ask eBen for more details...

Not sure what you are asking because of your horrible grammar. Are you asking if you can use someone else's pass? You know that falls under the category of breaking park rules, don't you? Were did you see this? Are you kidding me? You edited your original post and then wrote this in the same minute. Are you trying to say that one of our members is lying when in fact you're covering your tracks?

Which Coaster Gives The Best AIRTIME???
TPDave replied to Crazy4Coasters!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ That or "good Goliath" for me. Wood has to be El Toro, but I'm riding Balder next month so it could change! -
To be honest, I'm yet to be sold on a 3D cinema release. To me, it' still a cheap trick that theme parks use in filer attractions, but hopefully I'll be converted at some point!

I still think it's something to do with animal rights.
