robbalvey Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Hey everyone! So I've posted yet another segment from our recent "Coaster Expedition Volume 8" DVD. This time - POWER PARK in Finland!!! This was an awesome little park with the brand new GCI Woodie "Thunderbird." Of course, the REAL highlight of the park was the bizarre marzipan cake creature known only as the "Green Monster." Not only will this video give you a pretty good idea of what it's like to ride Thunderbird, but you'll get proper instructions on how to eat the green monster! So let's review....in this video you'll see: Thunderbird Green Monster! Check out the video here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/video.htm Enjoy! --Robb
Ryan King Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Vekoma Box! Now im going to have that song stuck in my head...thanks Robb! Great Video as ALWAYS! -Ryan
crazyrider06 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Good video robb, ^^ I have that song stuck in my head now lol
LcHg5265 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Was that Boomerang smooth or do you just have amazing camera skills?
SharkTums Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 The boomerang was VERY smooth...but...with the new magnetic brakes it uses in the station it made me feel extremely nauseous INSTANTLY. I could only take one ride, most everyone else rode again but they said they also felt a bit ill from it. Almost as if it wasn't engineered quite right and it slowed you too fast.
coasterrider1998 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 HA HA Great Video Robb and Elissa! The vekoma box was lonely without Ryan inside. Also...what was that songs name? /Cr98\
robbalvey Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 You will find a song list for all of our videos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=323
coasterrider1998 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks Robb! I wasn't sure if it was updated. Thanks a bunch. /Cr98\
Homer Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Great video Robb, I hope its that crazy during the Midwest Trip!
IwantRevenge Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 What was the green monster made of, it looked like diabetic death!
Angry_Gumball Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 That boomerang did look that smooth. I noticed that no heads were flapping back & forth during the backward POV shot. Great video and nice Vekoma box...and green monster dude thingy.
mr_teisco_delrey Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Great T-Bird video! I noticed that like the GCI T-Bird video, there was no POV. Was that a park policy? Just curious.
robbalvey Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 ^ What are you talking about? We had all kinds of POV in that video. --Robb
mr_teisco_delrey Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 ^ What are you talking about? We had all kinds of POV in that video. --Robb A start to finish ride video. Sorry for lack of clarity. I figured that the park was not wanting start to finish POV since, they told Jeff Pike at GCI not to post a POV he did last year. This was Jeff Pike's quote: "Flip, The park owner looked over a few of our impromptu vids, and he opted against the POV. He would like to leave some things to the imagination, apparently. Sorry if you were annoyed, but we work (and sometimes post video) at the pleasure of our customers! Jeff"
Tömmioh Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Great Video once again! That video brings up some nice memories. LOL at the greenmonster ending. Good Job!
Hjalmar Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Great video, by the way, the music is Chipz not Chpiz
Janster Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Cool video. The park looks very nice and tidy and it seems like they do have a nice selection of rides. Smooth Boomerang, Booster, an awesome frisbee ("in the house, out the house...." ) and that woody... Yummie, it looks awesome. I'm looking forward to go to Power Park this june! They also have a race / cart track near the park. Is that also worth going to?
SharkTums Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 They're basically in the park! There's an outdoor one and an indoor one. We didn't feel it was worth the money (I'm pretty sure it was at least about $20 for a few laps). Yes they were fast, but not speaking Finnish at all, and all that safety gear, it might have been confusing!
Tömmioh Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 ^ yeah, it was 15€ (~19.8$) for 10 minutes, but yeah not worth it imo, even if they say it's 'world class', mainly because the (finnish) former formule 1 driver Mika Salo has designed it. Janster: btw. If you need any information, help about Finland etc. feel free to pm/e-mail me.
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 Time to un-stick this. If you haven't seen the Power Park video yet, check it out here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/video.htm Seriously I think it's one of my favorite videos that we've done. Not sure why, I just really like it! --Robb
Virdu_ Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Great video! I like the combination of a park and laughs!
StyleStorm Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Actually, in my country, that 'green monster' is named a 'Kaj Kage', translated to 'Kaj Cake'. It's based on this danish children TV character, named Kaj. http://netbutik.dr.dk/ecommerce-pictures/get-picture?picture%5fid=1389
