[ncf]

There will be an update on RCpro, but I can post a few preview pics on this thread too

[alpengeist04]

Not that SpeedMonster looks any bad (which is certainly does not!!) but I really envy you for having TTD and KK over there!

I'm going to ride SM tomorrow and I think it's going in my top 5-10

 

I'd be more then happy to trade you KK for Speedmonster.

[Millennium ForceJZ]

i second that ^

Justin Garvanovic says that Speedmonster is one of the top 5 coasters in Europe and one of the top 10 coasters in the world in his opinion. I cant say anything until I have ridden it, but I dont doubt what he says as he has ridden loads of coasters all over the world. Its fantastic to hear that we have gotten something so great here in Norway, and we truly deserve it. It is afterall the first big steel coaster ever to be built in this country.

[CoasterCrazy]

Thanks for posting the video of Speed Monster!

 

It looks like a awesome coaster, June can't get here fast enough!

[Erik Johnson]

I had no idea that the coaster trains are so small. Heh heh, very unique!

[ECZenith]

Wow, I gotta try that Intamin pretzel loop.

[robinschroder]

Although I couldn't get the full video to buffer for some reason, SpeedMonster was totally just like "I'm the SpeedMonster give me some candy!" in the bits I could see! I can't wait for the TPR trip out there!

[Richard]

omg! He sounds so welsh, i swear finish and welsh is linked in some way!!! craziness

 

This ride looks cute too hehe, wish Rita turned out like this =( ow well

[viking86]

Finnish? Where did you get that from? The ride is in Norway, and the guy in the video is Norwegian. Finnish is totally different...

[DATman]

Finland Finland Finland! That's the country for me!!!

Speedmonster was just on tv here in Norway, complete with the Intamin screeching sound. But the ride looks amazing anyway!!!

[Canadmos]

Is there some sort of trickery needed to get the video to work? It won't load for me.

It looks so cool. It has 3 twists that reminds me of the one on expedition GeForce.

[Top Thrill Dragster]

SpeedMonster was fantastic! I rode it 8 times today. Better that Kanonen and Rita, and about as good as Xcelerator! While it wasn't "incredibly breathtaking", it was still a LOT of fun and there were no moments where you can get bored, like the overbanks on Xcel for example. The airtime was pretty nice too

And as I promised, here are a few pics, for TPR only! (for the new friedship between RCPro and TPR ) Be sure to check out the update on RCPro later...

Ah, its great to see more Norwegian members here. It can feel a bit lonely sometimes. I thought there were only me, ncf and nosferatu here

[exsodius]

Hello. Yes i thought i was the only norwegian member here.

 

Does speedmonster use the same track as expedition geforce?
