Wishmaster Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 A friend and I went to Fort Fun on sunday. Fort Fun is a small park located in a valley. Because of that it's not verry wide, but is is pretty long. Besides the bottom of the valley, they also use one slope for an Alpine coaster, a SkyGlider and a chairlift and on top of the hill there is also an Observation tower. This year Fort Fun Also opened a "new" ride. Dark Raver is the Roundup that was in its sister park, Avonturenpark Hellendoorn, until last year. Besides moving it, they also added a building, light effects and onride music. The building and the lights don't ad much to the ride, but the atmosphere set by the music, a kind of African drums/hardcore remix, is pretty good. The park also has 3 rollercoasters: Wirbelwind, a VeCOMA () Whirlwind, Marienkäferbahn, a Zierer Tivoli Large and Devil's Mine, a Vekoma Costum Junior coaster that thinks it's an Intamin! And now the photo's: Danny was driving... Really slow... Flash test. Nope, this one isn't sensitive to it. Here he is. The Dark Raver! The Flume is pretty long as well. I believe I can fly... What's that hiding in the trees? WOW! Still going up... And now the Vekoma in horror theme! First drop! I didn't know they had Vekoma's back than! This room isn't exactly level. (I think...) Look who's dead now... Is he screaming cause he's being electrocuted or because he's tied down below a Vekoma? (Click here for the video.) The park also had a few ugly spots. (I'm talking about Danny, the building was meant to look like that. ) Oops! Thirsty anyone? This is what happens if you suddenly hold the cam over your shoulder and push the button. Just chillin' in the West.
Wishmaster Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 Long qeue's for the food stalls! Those supports are so cool! Now that hurts! To want ride this, you have got to be completely screwed up! Just an other hungry guest. They did a really bad job trying to hide this. BTW, did I mention how high the Alpine Coaster was? The view from the top of the hill. But we're still not on the highest point of the park! Happy trails! To bad it was stuck! This is where Danny got scared. Still not bad for someone who's afraid of heights! This is what Danny looks like from the top of the tower. Nice view! Just a little clouded. And I'm still IN that park! Going down. At least the ride opp on Dark Raver was wearing a costume! To bad the theming sucks... Time to ride the good ride again! Worst darkride ever!
Wishmaster Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 Worst cakewalk ever! Hey look, a Vekoma in the bushes! Why does he have to take the exact same picture? I know that tower! (To bad it isn't a Gyrodrop ) First drop from devil's Mine again... EGF is better! End of the line! Some people take pics with branches in the foreground, but I had to try something more original. 5 PM, time to go home. The entrance to Fort Fun. The entrance to Fort Fun with flowers in the foreground! The end!
wdworld17nb Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 That looks like a very neat little park. The ride built into the mountain looks like lots of fun. Looks like something that would fit in perfectly in the Gatlinburg area.
Tömmioh Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 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!
