Hhappy Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Time for another update.... Day 2 of the trip started with a Visit to Walibi Belgium.. Couple of years ago i had already visited this park.. the crowds were insane that day.. so i hoped for better this time.. and especially getting all the stuff done i did not do the last time... Well.. in the end... i still have to go back someday.. crowds were "insane" that day... and i just don't like long lines... But at least i had a lot of fun this day.. enough said.. picture time.. next update will be the aventure parc wavre.... early morning, almost empty parking lot... hmmm Time to go.... another boat ride... strange exit.... They turned on the fog machine.. Yes.. it's a long way up... Just another small detail... could not resist.. why??? Have to go back... check out the que.. and the ride itself.. But they missed that certain sound... go-karts.... still not sure what to think about this one... don't you just love people's expressions.. logflume... time to relax... Line around Turbine... Nice place to cool down.. No clue on what's inside here... owh my... they have a tunnel... another angle.. Waterride fun.. ^ Random people crowds around Cobra Just in case you forgot where we are.. Nextr Train with the other lense.. better picture what's happening in the front row?? what are you doing there?? cute "couple" Having fun time for the "bird" segment... what that on my head??? hi there don't remember taking this picture... well... closed so... thanks for visiting Relax, no worries... Nice photo spot... theming... But it looked like fun... yep.. need to go back to get on this one.. lines were... well... Time for something else... drop tower close-up... hi there ... ride 'm... That look... ^ Having fun?? Hi there Big Mike time for the "sad and pathetic" proof... Now why is everybody lining up here? TPR close up.. other side... After Cobra i went straight for Turbine.. this due to the fact that lines used to get massive for that ride... Waterpark rules.... welcome well this should have "warned" me about the rest of the day... to get in... theming... What's he doing there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 After our visit to Walibi Belgium there was the option to go to Aventure Parc Wavre. A lot of people went there.. (so did i) and here are some pics of this.. Hope you like them.. and please let me know if you don't like them (as well) Also... keep in mind that this is just a selection of the pics i took.... Looking forward to the responses/feedback... Only one finished it.... some even tried the black course... i'll smile for the camera.. but i'm glad i'm almost done... sun.. get out of my way.. i need more speed... hey.. there's a camera... i told you so that we would have a lot of fun here... should i brake already?? we now bring you the zip-line expressions..... yeah. this is cool.. ehm... what can is say.. More challenges.. well.. he's still there... Freedom... no.. i'll use my feet instead of Larry... Still having fun... By this time some of the group upgraded to the red course... it takes skills.. no statues here... it ain't the jungle.. but.. natural reaction?? different kind of exercise.. ehm.. well.. ok.. so that's what's up ahead.. almost there.. need to focus... pole slide fun.. By this time people were everywhere.. why is he taking a picture of me instead of being up here?? thanks for the idea of doing this during the afternoon time to boogie.. this ain't hard.. let's relax.. that is where we are heading for.. don't you want to hang out at the bar?? no.. this is more fun.. Back to the more normal "stuff" focus.... i do like this picture.. technically not perfect.. but the expression.. so where is this going?? more waiting... i did try to get a picture of everybody there... a picture says more then a thousand words... Just another kind of obstacle .. must focus... on... is it fear, is it joy or...?? what's going on there? more spectators.. is it joy? not too high yet i guess... Waiting in line to get started... with green.. before... rules... Total concentration watching the instruction video.. (in english) now why is he smiling?? there is something about this pic.. waiting in line for.... changing "room" everybody.. please listen before entering... since 3.70 is lower then the 3.90 inside the bus... anyway.. we are there.. the buses had to parc outside...

SteveC Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hanno - the phrase caught on camera was never more appropriate. Kudos to Melanie who yet again has managed to pull off another park promo shot (reminder to everyone the of the flying chair pic starring MB - was that one of yours also Hanno??) There are some fantastic pics involving looks of concentration, just goes to show that TPR trips extoll the virtues of healthy living (and expose those that perhaps have not lived so healthily in recent years aka ME) Loving the report Hanno...many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Great pics Hanno as this ranks as one of my favorite days ever on a TPR trip, even if I couldn't finish the black course. F'in stirrup things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That ropes course was just so much fun, even if things decided to go where they shouldn't mid course. Still was an amazing time there, and as always amazing photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllrcster Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Love the Adventure Parc pics Hanno! Thanks for posting. Even if mine aren't all that flattering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks (again) for the comments so far... Day 3 started with a visit to Bobbejaanland... Don't know much to say about this park.. had a lot of fun there.. Although some of the coasters were hard to take good pics of i still have some for you all. Hope you like them... i'll leave you with some feet... Now who is more scared?? Oki Doki.. train... Powered coaster which surprised me a little... How did i do this... round and round and ... after lunch.. tpr evolution takeover.. "frozen" coke.. can make somebody very happy.. The chuck wagon... Let's shoot some more... Banana Battle... nice theming.. speedy bob was insane.... (after turning the key..) probably something historically related... please don't shoot me... i know not all of my pics are flattering.. the end... another target... pov... saloon... after thinking my camera had died.. i got it working again.. darkride time More ERT... and more challenges to get a decent picture... and some.. well some enjoyed it... and went for another ride... nice color after this "workout" what the &*%^ was this ride... Hold on.. it's almost over... Hi Chris.. well.. i guess this says it all... Hi Lou... If looks could kill... still smiling... why did i get on this one... some safety instructions... But elissa does.. and she's happy not to ride this one... they have no idea... everybody was lining up for this ride... aha, Fly Away... hmm, what's that?? sorry.. no more.. was in the wrong spot for good pictures.. Let's have a look at the park map to find the next stop... Hang time.. forces... More hairtime Next train... at least they are enjoying this one.. what can i say... gravity... don't you just love the different expressions... some hairtime.. Heading for the loop.. despite the clouds.. i could take some decent pictures... time for some ERT... does everybody have his/her food ticket?? food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Powered coaster which surprised me a little... And by that you mean completely readjusted your back by smacking you around? It was painful to watch I cannot imagine how it felt. Great pictures as always. All the expressions on typhoon are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Powered coaster which surprised me a little... And by that you mean completely readjusted your back by smacking you around? It was painful to watch I cannot imagine how it felt. Great pictures as always. All the expressions on typhoon are fantastic. Indeed.. i did fly from one side of the car to the other at that moment.. but it was nowhere near the pain i heard in Movie Park Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prabe Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 There is nothing like the pain that awaited us at Movie Park Germany. I'd rather be strapped into the Foreman Grill Ride while in the throes of caffeine withdrawal than ride that . . . thing. Either of them. ANY of them. (Take your pick of three.)

coaster05 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Exactly!. the captin should have been "Has someone made poopie?" I laughed so hard when I saw that, then Melanie laughed some more. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMulke Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Everytime I'm surprised by your pics.....you know how to put emotional expressions on a picture...love that. by the way..Speedy -Bob is lots of fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagemaster_b Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I presume this is me, begging the question "Why the hell am I smiling?" That was the Tarzan jump and it took me a long time just to get myself to do it -- and it was only the baby one on the green course!!! I should be looking like I'm pissing my pants. Oh, and awesome pics, Hanno. I love this picture!!! I was not having fun on the Tarzan jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 ^Richard and I ready to dance it up! One of my favorite coasters of the trip. I love a ride with theming and atmosphere that can give you a thrill as well. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Day 3 Part 2.. Toverland Toverland is my "home" park at the moment. It's opened al year round.. Which is perfect for coaster enthusiast around here who need their coaster runs during the winter time. Especially with Troy on their grounds it is (for me) a nice place to hang out. I was really looking forward to this visit.. and it did not disappoint... Enough said.. photo time.. Well done.. let's go and get a drink.. more ropes course to enjoy.. there's still some more Troy to enjoy... enough of this?? this is not the place you should be at.. biggest challenge for some... i can make this look easy as well.. time for a break? Easy?? Ropes course ERT.. Bobkart... what's going on in that mind.... sorry lou, but after running to get a picture.. well... don't you love ERT.. (empty waiting gates in the building) One of many crossings.. almost 90... almost... First drop... Not dead yet... "onride" looking back towards the halls.. lifthill shot... fly through the sun was annoying.. since it was making it harder to get some good pictures.. but at least it was dry happy riders.. In the mean time somebody tried to get away with the horse... Next train.. First drop fun... plenty of hands in the air.. one of my personal favorite spots of this ride.. Happy riders I love how the increased amount of green.. has made this even more beautifull Paradise?? yeah.. the bar opened some people were very determined to get up there... we all know how this ended... going for it one more time.. Next tries... Take cover... sorry.. we will not help you.. you have to make it yourself Time for some triangle fun... it's the small details... their mascotte kept an eye on the folks passing between the two halls the new attraction... the magic wand house see... more love and joy.. Boosterbike received it's share of the "love" as well.. First credit of the day (for some) Welcome to Toverland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeja Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hanno, you're the best! Every single shot is amazing, especially your Troy-shots... I'm drooling all over the place here! I TROY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkybadger Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That picture of Larry should come with the caption, "I play for hugs!". It's by far one of my favorite pictures of you, Larry! Such a great, natural expression. But depending on my mood, I look at it as you've accomplished something none of us did by completing two ropes courses, or it's just another of your "special" shots we've come to expect from you. Either way, I miss you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That evening at Toverland was like the greatest party, ever! You can't go wrong with coasters and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That was simply one of the best TPR days ever. I couldn't thank R&E enough for putting something like this together. I could go to Toverland right now and would have as much fun as I did 3 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELZ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That was simply one of the best TPR days ever. couldnt agree more, amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Toverland is awesome. The night was amazing, especially the unattended Bobkart ERT. That's right, they let us ride the ride with no ride attendants! I've been to Toverland three times, and I can't wait to go back. Amazing place. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
