Nrthwnd Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I love reading about it, since I "rode" the first incarnation of the attraction, back as the add-on for the 2006 TPR UK Tour. Knowing what it was before - this is going to be great to see it at present.
Moose Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 It seems odd that the LA times is writing about a new ride in Norway, but the article has the most information yet (that I've seen). Sounds like it could be a great ride.
ernierocker Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Sounds like Maelstom meets Spider-Man. AKA sounds amazing!

Knowing what it was before - this is going to be great to see it at present. The old attraction was pretty good--something that would've been a perfect fit for a park like Epcot.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Just another reason I will not miss the 2014 Scandi Trip! Also, when I was there with TPR in 2006, Thunder Coaster was running amazingly!! How is the ride holding up these days?
TPDave Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I only just saw this, I remember when I was at the park the Dragon mouth thing wasn't really being used (I vaguely remember lesbians making out in there, might have been a dream?). It'll be nice to see it as the entrance to a badass dark ride!

Nrthwnd Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 ^^ Is this where you lost your passport..."one of those times"?

Did you check carefully for beards? Edited April 9, 2013 by cfc
_koppen Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Also, when I was there with TPR in 2006, Thunder Coaster was running amazingly!! How is the ride holding up these days? Not that good unfortunately. It's not really rough or brutal, it just lacks that wicked airtime nowdays. I usually don't ride it if I have to wait more than 10 minute. It would be my number one choice for an iron horse makeover!
Nrthwnd Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Too bad. ^ How is it in the rain? That is truly when it went insane! (testimony: 2006 add-on to the TPR UK tour) Edited May 20, 2013 by Nrthwnd

(testimony: 2006 add-on to the YPR UK tour) Yeah, when we were there in 2006 it was lightly raining and the train was coming into the station something like 5 second early! It was insane how fast it was going!
_koppen Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It was years ago since I rode it in the rain, which was insane, but back then I also thought the ride was awesome without the rain as well. After the big re-tracking in 08-09 the ride lost a lot of that hauling-ass awesomeness (IMO). Good thing Speed Monster is as awesome as it is

I have to say that it was pretty awesome last August when I was there. Almost just as great as it once was before the re-tracking. Just as brutal, fast and insane airtime, even though it lacked the insane sideways air due to the re-tracking, but it's still way better than it was a few years ago when it was crawling around the track.
per2012 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 TusenFryd launched an official Thors Hammer Website today thorshammer.no/en/
per2012 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 TusenFryd published some new artwork from Thors Hammer: Source: thorshammer.no/images/no/
cfc Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 It's looking good. Should be an excellent replacement for the old "Viking" multimedia show that used to be in that building.
Meteornotes Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Impressive. Looking forward to checking this out. dt
per2012 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 The work on Thors Hammer is progressing rapidly towards the opening on June 22nd. The track is mounted and in place.
_koppen Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I'm living 5 miutes away over the summer, so I'm really exited for this ride to open
