themeparkman25 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Any pictures of the station and surrounding buildings? The concept art made them look pretty sweet.
Looty Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 ZacSpin's look like so much fun...and in such a small location. Perhaps my GM at NU should look into one of these
jmicha Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 ^That's exactly what I was just thinking. Looks much more impressive (in terms of scale) than any of the other pictures showed. I really want to ride one of these. Hopefully a park around me will get one someday.
themeparkman25 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 According to RCDB, the coaster is now being called "Tele2 Insane", does anyone know more about this?
Loefet Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 ^ I guess that it have received a sponsorship of the telecommunications operator company Tele2. I'm pretty sure that more rides at Gröna Lund have them.
Lalle555 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I didn't think it was that huge! It isn't. It is all the other rides at Gröna Lund that's tiny
Théo the little french Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I didn't know Tele2 would exist in Sweden, that's pretty funny to call a ride like this phone operator!
Olov Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Well Tele2 is a swedish company founded by Jan Steinbeck.
vekoma_fan Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 this thing looks freakin' sweeeeet!!!! I want to go back home, and just take the train over for opening day
_Joel_ Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Hey everybody! I've been selected as a "testrider" at Gröna Lund's press view now on Tuesday. I won it in a contest on their website. Maybe I can tell how it felt afterward. It will be great fun!
Olov Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Congrats and have fun! Just saw on the webcam where they're doing some test runs right now.
netdvn Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 ^^ That would be great if you could post a PTR. I'm not a big fan of the Tele2 thing though. And how many Intamins do we need that are sponsored by cell phone companies that start with T.
themeparkman25 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Its great to see this ride approaching the final days before opening! Just like the coaster, my model of Insane will be probably completed on opening day. I spoke with the park about what the surrounding buildings will look like and they replied in my email with the 3D rendering in a computer program (of course one that I do not have). SO, will someone please take some pictures of what the station and all the surrounding buildings look like, that would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has autocadd (the actual file is in .dwg format), and you would open it and print screen some images that would be great too! Thanks for your help! Pictures of my model can be found at the bottom of this page.
netdvn Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Found these on the first two pages... Hope they help
Loefet Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 They have finally sorted the web cam image on the front page so that the whole image is visible. Much of the station is done. The press day is on the 21:st so there is still stuff to be done until then...
_Joel_ Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Here are some images from the test run! http://pollax.se/wrote_it/?p=212
Thom25 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Great Pictures - THANK YOU. Has anyone come across any videos of the ride testing?
_Joel_ Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I found some CAD-images on the station building on a Swedish site. The text is in Swedish, but here is the link and the images. http://www.cadtorget.se/index.taf? I hope it helps you!
themeparkman25 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Joel! Thank you so much for posting those pics, they will aid in my building of the model for sure! Is there any of the complete buildings? Thanks again! Please check out my completely painted model of insane here.
Nrthwnd Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Oh, I do hope hope hope this is open and running when the TPR Scandi tour hits town, lol!
_Joel_ Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Tomorrow is the press view of Tele2 Insane (between 10.00-13.00, swedish time of course!). I will be there and hope I can take some photos. It will certainly be a part of it in Swedish newspapers on Wednesday. I'll try to get to link these pages to this forum. Although you can not read Swedish, you can check out the pictures! Today, they have probably tested the track a lot. You can see a car in the middle of the picture.
Thom25 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 ^ Thanks for the update - If you see any links for Videos - that would be ideal. Pictures are great (no doubt), but I wanna see this bad boy in action - it looks GREAT !
Olov Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 The first POV vid: Insane Hmm from the video I can say that the brakes are on too hard for my personal taste and doesn't really do alot of flipping.
