James' 09 Season


Recommended Posts

Part 2 - Holiday Park

 

Blue Fire Vrs Expedition Ge Force

 

This is a very hard choose on which one is the better coaster. In my opinion overall, I think they might just have to be a tie. After Ge Force is warmed up to its fullest, Ge Force is number one, but Blue Fire I could ride much more.

`

They are both my number one. And if I ever had to chose which one is better, I would probably say Blue Fire.

Ge Force's first drop feels a lot like the zero gravity roll on Blue Fire, but Blue Fire has a much more unique feel to the ride. Ge Force is more thrilling and does have WAY more airtime.

 

So its a hard choice to make. I guess the one that I'm riding is my number one. I'm very intrested to see what Robb and Elissa say since Ge Force is their number one steel.

 

So here is more of the trip.

Enjoy

I leave you with this picture. Just to show you how messed up their park map is. At least it is an improvment from the other maps they have had in the past...

They are dead serious about this. I saw a guy who was behind me who got kicked out of the park.

As you can see, the water is too the point where it almost reminds me of Walibi Belgium's water.

What park are we at again?

This picture is cool. Why? I dunno. I just felt like saying it is.

055.JPG.1673236d0a7400241e58bd709d955f61.JPG

Splash. The day was hot, and I wish I was on that boat. Sadly, the line was so long, by the time I would have got on it, it wouldn't have been so hot.

It is pretty fun. This is a ride that Peter Pan would make. Cause it feels like you can fly.

025.JPG.83a9251584ce0f909d3e371c5a229023.JPG

As you can see, it's pretty tall

016.JPG.1eeed76eed26c8f1c96d00802948e2b4.JPG

Sure, you can enjoy the view, that is after you get over the fact you are being held up by some dinky thin chains

013.JPG.d380e3a02ec7a40017085de387f1075b.JPG

It may not look like much. But its really freaky.

Fun report.

 

I can never get enough of those Geforce pictures.

 

Is Blue Fire really that good compared to the Geforce or is it just because it's a new ride.

 

I'm planning to go to Holiday Park in July on one of the summernights.

Hey all,

 

I went to Europa Park yesterday. Since it was a last minute invite by the friends, I had no time to go back home to get my camera or TPR shirt. Luckily, one of my friends had a camera and took some pictures. Even though they are all made more facebook, I decided to add them with my TR just for an extra.

 

The day was fun even though the park was PACKED with french people

We got to the park around an hour and a half after opening. Of course we went to Blue Fire first. Only to wait about an 1 and a half for the front seat.

It was very fun riding with first time riders. They all agreed it is the best coaster in the park and I think all but one said it was better than Ge Force.

Blue Fire was running amazing though. The preshow hasn't changed since the first day and the photo booth was also not set up.

 

After Blue Fire we went over to Alpen Express since the all the lines got really long. The line for Alpen Express was about ten minutes, but since the weather was very hot outside, the tunnel felt very refreshing and made it worth the wait.

 

Time to go over to Russia for some Euro Mir. The line was about 40 minutes but moved very fast. Euro Mir was running better than ever! It ran so good that one of my friends lost their cellphone on the ride. Luckily, it was still in the train when it fell out of her pocket, so we got it back. We ate lunch at Euromir Burger. Then decided to go ride Silver Star since it was midday and the lines would be shorter.

 

Silver Star was running awesome. The new trains look sexy and the ride seems faster. The bottom of the first drop seems a little brutal, but nothing horrible.

 

Eurosat was next. About a 20 minutes line. The first day this season, Eurosat was very brutal. Today was no exception. Luckily, the ride is still worth it and still very fun.

 

We skipped Poseidon since that had a TWO hour wait. So we went over to Pegasus is that was pretty much a walk on. Great coaster. Even though it is very short. It is still very smooth and a fun ride.

 

We then went over to Swiss Bobbahn for about a 20 minutes wait. This ride was running great and still the front is pretty intense. We then roe Blue Fire one more time.

 

Next came the rapids. The only one who got soaked was Daniel, my brother, and Marissa, our family friend.

 

After that, with all my intelligence, decided to get soaked by the splash zone by Atlantica Super Splash. I got soaked 5 times over! If I jumped in a river, I would have drier.

 

We would have gone to Blue Fire last, but the line was THREE hours. So we decided to go ride the log flume instead, which was our last ride.

 

Anyways, Europa Park, IMO, does the best job at moving lines. I had a great day!

 

Thanks Europa Park!

Phantasialand

 

I really enjoy this park. It has some great coasters, amazing theme, good selection of unique rides. The park is on the small side, but has tons to do.

Today there where lots of people, and I noticed that the park did a decent job getting the lines to move fast.

 

Also, I finally got the Temple of the Night Hawk credit that I've been trying to get for the last two years, since my first visit the coaster was broken down. The ride was much better then I thought. I think it might be the smoothest Vekoma I've ever been on.

 

Black Mamba was riding very good, but no Surprise there. I think the food at this park is a great price, especially the food stand by Black Mamba.

 

Now for the highlight of the year. Last time I rode Winjas Force and Fear, the ride was fantastic, but this year, Winjas was running out of this world. These are easily the most unique coasters in the world. I prefer Fear over the two, but both rides do things no other coaster does. I'm not going to tell you what that is, you just have to go ride it.

 

Mystery Castle is still a letdown from all the hype it gets. It's just a giant froghopper in the dark. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but when people compare it to Tower of Terror, I think they might be a little off their rocker.

 

I didn't ride any of the water rides this time, but I already know that this park probably has the best in Europe.

 

Colorado Adventure was also running awesome as hell. We sat in the back car in the middle and got some of the best mine train rides I've ever gotten. Ride this ride! Not only because it's the Michael Jackson ride, so you'll feel totally violated, but it's incredibly fun!

 

Anyways, no onto the pictures.

This isn't even the first drop. This ride is full of huge hidden drops. Yes, we are talking about Fear here. Force has more S-turns and a few drops.

Boobi... oh wait.. Cheeks!

010.JPG.f63326effe370c003757ae9101b68cba.JPG

So you aren't allowed to ride with glasses, hats, camera's, signs that say FAST. Oh damn, I guess I should have left my sign in the car.

Okay,

 

I took the train over to Holiday Park.

 

My Mission

 

To get more pictures for the Index. Even though I put these up for all to see, my intensions are for the index. I found some rides that aren't in the Holiday Park Index, and decided to take pictures of them.

 

Yes, there won't be many pictures. And the caption will not be clever, witty, or sometimes, even in their present form.

 

So just enjoy.

 

My next update will be Europa Park on August 1st. Since the park is open till midnight. I will be spending two days there so there will be many pictures. I'll try getting tons of Blue Fire night shots. I'll also try taking pictures for the index.

 

After that, there might be Walibi Belgium update, since we all need pictures of that dump. But that won't be for sure.

 

What is for sure is a huge Heide Park update. Filled with pictures of their new area. (For those who don't know, the land of Huss was transformed into a sexy new area)

 

Anyway, we may be half way through the season, but we aren't nearly done...

A very crappy construction picture. But this was as close as I could get to the wall.

 

But yes, it looks like a new ride will come to Holiday Park. Not much room for a coaster. Maybe a euro-fighter? Maybe a shooting dark ride? Maybe a pile of dirt?

 

Till next time. :)

Today, the trims where so low on Ge Force, you didn't even notice them. (Everyone in my group agreed) I probably got the best ride I've ever gotten on Ge Force. Which was right after a thunderstorm. (It was shut down for about an hour)

Hey hey friends.

 

This weekend is probably one of the greatest weekends ever. Why? Because one day out of the year, Europa Park is open till midnight! Of course I had to be there.

The park was packed, seriously packed. But of course due to how awesome Europa Park is at getting people through there rides, the average wait time was about an hour. (Seriously, it was packed)

 

Now, my camera is night impaired. These may be some of the worst, crappiest pictures you'll ever see in your life. Sorry about that.

 

Now, Europa Park at night is easily the most beautiful theme park I've ever seen. This not only punches Busch Gardens in the face, but it murders it.

I cannot believe all the lights, candles, sounds, smells, and music this park has.

 

Now onto the best thing about the evening. I rode Blue Fire at about 1 in the morning. Since this was after the park closed, the front line was closed. RATS! However, they picked five random people to wait for the front sear and it happened to be me and my cousin. YES!

 

Not only was this probably the best ride I've ever had on a roller coaster, but this easily makes Blue Fire better than Ge Force. It was unbelievable. I was seriously tearing up afterwards due to how good it was. I've never done that before.

 

The second day was much less crowded. Average wait time about 20 to 30 minutes. The day ended at 5 due to a downpour that got everyone soaked.

 

Blah blah blah... Onto the pictures...

That line of lights is Europe's tallest roller coaster. IMO, it's way underrated. Even though I hate the trims. Today however, the trims seemed pretty much off and I got some of the best rides I've ever gotten and some of the best airtime!

Day two. Very short. Day ended with a downpour. But still rode everything we wanted too since it wasn't as crowded. Silver Star had a ten minute wait most of the day. So we just rode that a lot. Seriously, the trims where so low that the airtime was amazing. I've never gotten a better ride. Except for that time I just rode in my shorts at night. hehehe

 

Onto the pictures.

Oh, what a night...

First of all, let me say "Thank you, James" for posting this...

I love your comments...I really do...I`ll suggest you as the "Next Robb Alvey"...you have a similar style of commenting pics...ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!!

And OH Yessssss....the park was soooo beautiful that day !

My feeling that night was, that there was no better place to be in whole germany (maybe in the whole world ?) than there...EUROPA PARK WAS DEFINITIVELY THE PLACE TO BE THAT DAY !!!

But there will be Halloween...and we will have NINE days to join the park and ride Blue Fire in the dark...WHAT ABOUT THAT ???

So if anyone of you guys has the chance to come over here on Halloween...it`s sooo much worth it...AND JAMES; NEXT TIME; WE`RE GONNA DO IT TOGETHER; BABY !

UPDATE!

 

German culture, wacky rides, beer tents, cheeseburgers, AND LOTS MORE OTHER CRAP!

 

Okay, here in Germany, each little town once a year has a fair. Even though most of them aren't that much, they are still a fun thing to do for a few hours.

Since many of you have only seen the big a$$ fairs in the larger cities. I was like,

 

"I'm going to take some pictures of my local fair."

 

Reminder Drinking age in German is 16. Yes, there might be pictures of 16 year olds drinking beer. Remember that here in Germany, that is 'encouraged'. If you are easily offended by 16 year olds drinking beer, turn back now!

 

Anyways. Onto the pictures.

Wow...thanks for posting! I will be heading to Germany in a little over a month to hit up Oktoberfest in Munich and (hopefully) Europa Park...I can't wait!

 

Forgive me for sounding like the naive tourist, but we are concerned about getting to Europa Park from Munich but definitely want to visit. What would be the best method of transportation for a day trip? Bus, car rental, or train? Thanks!

First of all, I whish you LOADS of fun in Germany (and when you hit Europa, don`t miss to ride Blue Fire as late as possible (Choose the front row and KEEP YOU ARMS UP !!!).

 

But to answer your question : Go rent a car ! That will definitively save a lot of time. Going there by train is a little complicated and therefore takes too much time in my opinion ! (And going there by bus...no.)

 

If there`s some time left...try to have dinner at the colosseo (outside the park !). It´s definitively worth it!

 

Need more advice ???

^I don't even know why you picked the name GeorgeT, it should be something like bluefire=(insert that certain one thing a man and woman do(don't know if I am allowed to say it here)).

Why not ? I Mean it`s worth it, I think. Just ask Team Thriller...I think he`s singing the same song

Blue Fire is the only coaster here in Germany that`s really worth to rave about.

And yes, I´m (a little) in love with that coaster. But maybe you would understand me a littlebit better if you rode it youself.

 

I´m sorry, if I`m going on anybodys nerves, but I just bring my enthousiasm about B.F. in this forum. I think that`s just me...

P.S. Did I mention how AWESOME blue fire is

Wow...thanks for posting! I will be heading to Germany in a little over a month to hit up Oktoberfest in Munich and (hopefully) Europa Park...I can't wait!

 

Forgive me for sounding like the naive tourist, but we are concerned about getting to Europa Park from Munich but definitely want to visit. What would be the best method of transportation for a day trip? Bus, car rental, or train? Thanks!

 

It would take about 5 hours to drive to Europa Park with the car. However, if you take the fast train, it might be more expensive, but you could cut down the trip to 3 hours and you wouldn't have to drive on German roads.

If I had money to spear, I would take the train. But if I'm saving money, willing to wake up much earlier and leave much earlier. I would drive.

 

You are planning to drive down and back up in one day, right?

I.C.E shouldn't be bad. You would probably take it to Stuttgart. Then take a IC train to Freiburg, then either A.) a bus or B.) another connection which takes you to the station a few town over from Rust, then the bus to the park.

 

I think it is the best method.

 

Update: I'll be at Walibi Tomorrow and Bobbejaanland Wed. I hope to get good photo's and have a great time. Even though that can be hard at Walibi.

George/James:

 

Thank you both very much for your expert opinions! I think that we will try to rent a car so we can get to some of the other sites around the Bavaria region (besides, we can't sit and drink beer at Oktoberfest the entire time we are there!).

 

I really would like to also get to Heide Park, Holiday Park or Phantasialand, but I just don't think that we will have the time to drive the long distances. Any other tips, or advice on things to do in Southern Germany would be most appreciated (although I don't want to hijack this thread).

^Well Holiday Park and Tripsdrill are only about an 1 hour 45 minutes away from Europa Park, so you could easily do both of them in a day if you want credits and EGF?

 

Actually it's more like 2 hours. But Tripsdrill and Holiday Park are very close to eachother

 

Philrad, Heide Park is about 8 hours from Holiday Park. You will at least need about two extra days for Heide Park. And those two days would be pretty stressful. If I where you I'd probaby do Holiday Park, Tripsdrill, up to Phantasialand, and Movie Park is in the area of Phantasialand. So you could do that in half a day for a credit run. You should probably end with Europa Park since that blows all the other parks out of the water. If you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Oh might also find time between Phantasialand area to Europa Park for a ride or two on Ring Racer. That can be on the way to Europa Park.

 

UPDATE: Since I'm on an ITouch I cannot post pictures yet. However, I have LOTS of suprises happen to me at Walibi today. You'll have to just wait and see what they are!

 

Tommorow is going to culture in downtown Brussels. I'll post pictures for those who are intrested.

Thursday will be Bobbejaanland.

 

Hope everyone is having a great week.

So, I just checked out the real travelling time.

 

The fastest connection you can choose takes 4 hours and 22 minutes.

You start from Munich main station at 6:41 in the morning and you arrive at Europa Park at 11:03.

 

Here`s the link : (it`s the 10. in that list)

The second best connection is when you start from munich at 5:23 and you arrive at Europa Park at 10:41, which means that you travel for 5 hours and 18 minutes.

 

The distance is about 450 kilometers, that means about four to five hours by car...

 

Hope I helped a littlebit...
