Hhappy Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Today was Queensday in Holland. This usually means lots of drunk people an busy parks. Since it also means a free day... i decided to go to Germany and check out a new coaster (and test drive my new camera) As you might know by now Tripsdrill has a new woodie So this morning after driving for 5 hours i arrived at the park at 10:40am. The original plan was to spend all day there.. but the evening before i kind of changed my mind... but first things first.. TripsDrill pictures See you soon Tripsdrill i kinda likes this one.. one of many little funny things.. hmm, just a couple more weeks... train, track and wheels for the.... looks cool and now.. i present.. passengers came out kinda funny ok One of many crossings. First drop Let's try something else.. lifthill (for the ......??) Inside of the station.. although i wonder what they will do with the boards... No fog today Not that many people there yet.. so let's stay seated Looks like it was ok.. Tunnel hmmm first passenger train of the day going up.. station still empty but now we see the front.. empty train... But this is what i came for... test... twisty up and down what can i say nice view going up... I might as well check out the other coaster near by That's a shame.. it won't open for another 15 minutes... View from the area in front of the ride.. but hey.. what's that sign? After a little walk.. i like Yes, i made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Now i guess i should tell how i liked the ride.. Here's a short story.. looking at the video on the internet.. it looked slow and boring.. It is not crazy.. but speedy enough (you will see hair flying) airtime?? yes.. it has.. floater like rough?? not really.. back was very smooth and the front a bit bumpy shakey (sideways) sound?? not what i expected from a woodie.. way too quiet (in my opinion) owh yeah.. the change of plans... ehm.. i realized that Holiday Park was not that far away.. home of EGF.. so... Best part... different angle.. Toys.. "Bring on the new load" Hi robb.. see you soon?? I need to do some more testing ehmm Please remove these.... more camera testing... first change i noticed.. here is am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Tripsdill seems like a cool little park. I love the layout and theming of Mammut. More of a family ride then anything, but it still looks like lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 What kind of camera did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nice work Hanno, I love the look of those little European parks, Mammut doesn't look bad at all. Not enough pics of girls though, you have your own high standard to live up to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 oh, how I miss Germany! The surrounding areas are so beautiful for any park in Deutschland! Great pictures of Holiday Park, my home park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 What kind of camera did you get? Since i'm having issues with my Nikon D50 at the moment i got myself a Nikon D80.. That way i have a backup if something breaks during the coming trips.. (lens or camera (body) itself) Thanks for the comments so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Okay question...Who made Mammut, it looks like GCI, but the 3 bench trains look Vekoma ish. The Trains are sick looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google helps in this case The ride has been designed by the Werner Stengel bureau and was built by Cordes GmbH, the company responsible for the prefabricated track as well as general construction of Colossos, Balder, El Toro and the roller coaster under construction at Everland, Korea. Rolling stock by Gerstlauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpekari Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 funky trains on mammut, looks like a fun ride, what's up with the drop out of the station, and looks like a fun little park BTW. TRIM BRAKES SUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Expedition G-Force looks amazing! Nice TR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nice report, Hanno! Your pictures are gorgeous as always. I'm looking forward to riding G'Sengte Sau again, and checking out Mammut. I also need to ride the loooooooooong Zierer family thing, I missed out on that (and basically everything else) last year because I wasn't feeling well. Can't wait to get back to Holiday Park either! See you in a few weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Lancetti Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hey Hanno!!! No boobies pics for me and the rest of "Tits a bounce" lovers??? Have you ridden the log flume??? This is not a complete review!!! For a complete test of your camera you are now forced to go back to Tripsdrill for taking more pics!!! Ahahahah...!!! ...and what's about driving a little bit more till... Gardaland here in Italy... for "another" Mammoth??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 ^ No logflume for me indeed.. it opened just as i left the park.. and on the otherside... i guess i value my camera too much to let it get wet After driving 1100 kilometers that day.. i guess Italy is the next "challenge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipbrianhop Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Personally I think your trip was a waste of Queensday, It's a traditional party and you should be in holland getting drunk. I guess I made my point here. If not, it is here: Very nice foto-update, love the new coaster! -Yeh I'm strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
