ride6 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 That place reminds me of a much more upscale version of Indiana Beach, being cleaner and much more well kept. That Schwarzkopf looks very nice. Only Grona Lund doesn't have the Cornball Express! No taking shots @ my #1 favorite park (of the 8, yes only 8) I've been to. I <3 Indiana Beach. It's a park that "should never be" in America. At IB you're not really held in on the sky ride or one of the coasters for that matter. Last time at IB I noticed at least a 1/2 dozen major lawsuites waiting to happen, I just prey they never do because I'd hate to have that place become like the rest of this padded, pathetic country. Well and the "grittyness" at IB gives it quite a bit of it's charm imo. Oh and that place looks excellent in a big way, major beautiful. I <3 Schwarzkopf coasters. Esspecially one's with "OMG WTF BBQ" drops like that one has. Ride6
robbalvey Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Thanks for posting the TusenFryd pics! I still think it's one of the nicest settings for any parks. And I wish we could have ridden Speed Monster more than once....Oh well...we'll be back in '08! --Robb
MollyG Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Great trip report! GL is really a beautiful park. The fun house looks awesome and your pic of the swings is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting. MollyG
Millenniumguy Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Wow, Jetline really looks amazing. The entrance reminds me more of IOA then IB. Wow, what's amazing about Schwarzkopf is his wild and crazy turns.
RCfanatic Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Great TR! And nice photo's! Gröna Lund looks great and so does Tusenfryd, Scandinavia sure has some nice coasters and i hope i can get up there soon, maybe even on the TPR Scandinavia trip!
FLIPDUDE Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Is anyone else finding strange pleasure in saying "Vilda Musen"?
lagg Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 How far is GL from Liseberg? Im just wondering, as if its near by, I might have to stop off when I do Balder . Nice to hear you had a great time, Jetline looks awesome. The setting is great too.
viking86 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 Unfortunately those parks are nowhere near eachother. I would guess around 300 miles, give or take. Tusenfryd however is "only" a 4 hour bus ride from Liseberg.....
Calvin Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Oh I dunno, 300 miles is like six hours...it'd be worth it if you had the time and money.
Olov Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 By trains from Gotheburg to Stockholm it takes about 3 hours (the high-speed train that is). And during summer the parks are open late into the evening.
viking86 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 Ah yes, the train! I forgot that not all countries have the same crappy railway system as Norway....
Olov Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Don't worry, ours can be pretty shitty too... however anything is better than BR.
robbalvey Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Have I mentioned how much I'm looking forward to our Scandinavian trip in 2008? --Robb
