devol4 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 So, decided to head over to Holiday Park the other day since its only a 35 minute drive from the base. Left about 8:30 in the morning and got the park just as it opened. Park was empty for ..maybe 40 minutes before busses got there. Headed towards Geforce first, and hit all the rides along the way. Got my courage up to ride freefall, rode it three times Ummm, Geforce was running great up till the late afternoon, they closed it for a short while, and were spraying down the entire lift hill. Trains ran a lot worst, even going up the hill it was noisy and bumpy. One train was running in the morning, then two in the afternoon. After the reopening only one train was running. Super Wirbel was.. rough, but that's normal if your not near the front. Lighthouse Tower was pretty much down for the day, except for an hour or so when it ran. Got yelled at for snapping flash pics in the dark ride by the couple riding in the car near us. Wonder what they were doing Rest of the day was pretty uneventful.. Log Flume has more mist than at Halloween when we were there last. Got my rear end banged up on the rapids ride while trying to duck from the water. Even have to say that the swinging ship was running alot better. Past 90 degree when you were sitting on the outside rows. So.. onto the pics =] And our last GeForce picture. All Eight of us in the first two cars. Park Closing D: There was a guy smoking in the ride xD Roller Coaster Tycoon Real Life Edition: Soaked! He did what?!? Couldn't get a two ride shot.. Cool shot of the coaster Raft Rides Lift Hill Shot Random Park Shot Another Shot Freefall Shot Slurpin the slurpee Another Overbanked Turn GeForce First Drop Rawrrr Her Cell Phone was ringing Le Drop Going Down The Hill Random Face Airtime Point on log flume ;D Didn't ride this, was too boring last time Lift Hill Shot Yeah.. being bored on the lift hill (: The mist was really running full time The Look On Her Face Fun with the cam on the log flume Log Flume Camera Hill Shot Laughing at the couple yelling at me again ^^ That Picture That Everyone Has Has to be the most photographed thing in the ride Bored Shot What? Tried to do a feign horror pic, but the couple yelled at us and she cracked up. ^^ German Dark Ride....nuff said Train Shot Ge-Force Shot Rapids Ride Ge-Forces Awesome Overbanked Turns Entrance is pretty small, nothing like Europa or Tripsdrill Path to entrance, empty this late in the day Lunchtime ^^
window Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Nice pictures. Looks like you had fun there. It's always a bonus when the queues are small. I really need to get myself to some parks on mainland Europe.

devol4 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Haha, totally. Growing up in Europe is awesome. As I said to a friend in the US the other day: "Europe = Awesome Ummm, its..different I don't know how to put it.. But paris is definetly as gay as tv shows and movies portray... and...prague is really ghetto Amsterdam smells like pot and fish Spain is awesome, as is Italy Morocco hates women, only saw two there.. Brussels is the best city to get a crepe... Germany has the the talles, fastest and awesomest coaster in Europe... Austria is kinda boring, Switzerland is always cloudy French people are rude and the guys love to kiss random strangers on new years eve.. Still have to go to London..and Rome, ahaha but yeah that pretty much sums it up.."
TheRapidsNerd Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Cool report and thanks for including the rapids shots. If I ever get over that way, Holiday Park looks like a fun place.
devol4 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Hey man, Thanks! I'll probably be at Tripsdrill this up coming week, and I'll be sure to get a few snaps of their raft ride as well.
Kennyweird Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Any photo TR with Expedition Ge-Force in it is worth reading. Great TR!
