terrancew_hod Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I just want to say that is almost 10:30pm in Finland and the sun isn't thinking about setting! It may set around 11:30pm at this rate! Then it will rise again around 3:30 am! Â A mess! Â It was a good day... long bus trip though. Â Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Three things that sum up the last few days:  Balder Grona Lund World's Largest Ikea  The trip rules. I've taken about 2000 pictures now. Five or six of them might actually be good. And will likely feature Ice Bat...  dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Nothing wrong with that! Â You guys look like you're having a blast! I can't wait for more updates of the trip. I can't wait to see Balder, Insane, and that new S&S ride!

TPDave Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I agree with Dave, this trip is epic! It's one of the best groups that I've experienced on a TPR trip  I was hoping for new pics this evening...  Please don't bitch about updates, Robb and Elissa have to so much to do on these trips, try being thankful that there are already NINE updates from Scandinavia alongside many other sets of pictures from other members.  Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatFalafelGirl Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I second TP Dave. Those trips are hella crazy and the fact that updates get posted at all is a minor miracle if you ask me. Though I don't think GeorgeT was bitching...merely stating that he was hoping for pics, because frankly, we all look forward to them! However, let this be pre-emptive warning for future possible complainers... NO COMPLAINING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Sorry guys but we were just having too much fun last night to get an update up! Right now we're approaching the final race in the TPR Grand Prix here at Power Park and it's awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dammie16@vt.edu Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 That video always makes me laugh every time it has to get posted lol  ^You have no need to apologize for having fun on your vacation!  P.S. it is sad that I am up for work at this hour lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 ^ NOT FUNNY!!!! Â Especially when I just spent the last hour and a half getting through about 40 photos trying to do an update when the wi-fi at the hotel just crashed and I lost everything. Â We only have two park days left and then we will be back home. Â I think everyone can wait until we get back for the rest of the updates. Â Sorry if anyone is upset by this, but I'm only getting 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night as it as and with the lack of good wi-fi the last few days it's just been very difficult to do updates.

fudgey Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey guys, hope the TPR Grand Prix was good (gutted I missed that - Mike did you recieve my text...? )and I've seen a few pics from the overnight ferry to see Steve was on his normal form.... Â Have a great last few days....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 All I wanted to to is show my interest...and express my feelings. If I`m not allowed to write ONCE that I´m a littlebit sad because of not getting an update, I´ll may have to leave this forum. If was NO reproach, not at all. I understand VERY WELL that Robb sometimes just doesn`t have time or energy for updates (or that there may be technical problems)...  I wish, you all have a blast...  George ("Emo") T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey everyone! Â Sorry for the lack of updates but I've either had a couple of late nights or the wi-fi access at the last couple hotels weren't the best. Â Anyway, here are TWO updates! Â First off Karolinelund which as a nice little surprise. It's not a huge park and to be quite honest the coasters were just "ok", but it was a GREAT little place to bring the family for an afternoon! Â TusenFryd never dissapoints. Great coasters, great park, and we always have a lot of fun here. I had been told that Thunder Coaster wasn't running as well, but to be honest, I really didn't notice much of a difference. I rode in the front and thought it was running GREAT! Â Anyway, here are some pictures from these parks. And now we present an instructional photo update on "How to make an Elissa Friendly Taco." "Should I eat the Mexican, the Italian, or the Norwegian first?" "Mommy...will I grow up to have boobs like yours?" Driving Miss Daisy...but which one is Miss Daisy? "I DON'T SEE ANY WOMEN!!! ALL I SEE IS VEKOMA!!!!" Once again, they all think they are waiting for the two women on a waterbed ride, but really it's a Vekoma looping coaster. Next up...the baseball hat retard twins! KidTums gets her Teeny Weeny credit. Thank you creepy 6-armed insect troll. TAKE THE TUNNEL!!! Now we are heading through Norway going to TusenFryd! OBS!!!! OBS!!!! HEY CHRIS FOURMONT!!! OBS!!! It's the LOVE BOAT! I'll raise you a half-glass of coke, an open bag of M & M's and two crispy foreskins. Behind the scenes with the Big Mike Roadshow Mobile Edition! There are no midgets in this photo. Next up was a "three hour tour" on this mini TPR-Cruise! "WE LOVE WACKY WORMS!!!" Three hours later Big Mike and Robb are still trying to de-squish out of the Wacky Worm. ANAL CHEESE!!! Yay for the Wacky Worm! We all felt that Karolinelund was a nice little surprise. While the coaster line-up may not have been amazing for "coaster enthusiasts" this is a great little park to spend an afternoon with the family. Big Mike and Robb clenched and squished into the same seat of the Wacky Worm. How will they ever get out? Aha! Coney Island was not the only park with a "turntable Wacky Worm!" Say hello to Mr. Bucket. Mr. Bucket is on a track that carries your random stuff from the loading to the unload platform. Mr. Bucket is clearly the best part of this ride! TAKE THE TUNNEL!!! Next up was the Pinfari Looping coaster. Pay no attention to the alien with four arms. Yay for the Vekoma Boomerang! Steve is doing his "Cameron Fry" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off impression. Can you guess which one of these guys is clenching his sphincter? If you said Craig (the slightly retarded looking one on the right) you're RIGHT! This group THINKS they are waiting in line for the "Two women on a water bed" ride (two muscular men for the panthers), but HA HA! The jokes on them...they are actually in line for a Vekoma Boomerang. This is the entrance to Karolinelund. If you are going to visit the park, you want to drive around the world, to the left and when you see this sign, get out of your car. Buy a ticket. Go inside. And then you will be visiting Karolinelund. Thank you TusenFryd and Karolinelund for a GREAT day!!!! Josh is a sexy player than was born in 1905....he's about 2153 years younger than Jeff Johnson. Thunder Coaster ran great! NO!!! TO HELP SAVE BIG MIKE EMAIL DAN!!! Dan needs 100 emails in the next 24 hours or BIG MIKE WILL GET RUN OVER!!! SAVE HIM NOW! EMAIL DAN!!! mrt0ad13@aol.com ROBB! NO!!!! DO NOT EAT SPEED MONSTER! IT'S NOT A NOODLE SOUP!!! But first you have to eat this engine! FINALLY! We get to do the "Two Women on a waterbed ride!" Hellllloooooo Little Miss Sunshine! I really like Speed Monster. This is a great ride. I think people who push the Speed Monster buttons are cool too. For some reason I have the orgiastic urge to eat an ice lolly. Check out that amazing looking ride. Speed Monster was great! I love Speed Monster. I think red buttons are better than group sex with leprechauns. Random KidTums Photo!!! EXPLOSIONS!!! EXPLOSIONS!!!!! GRWULFMRRUMPHSHUCKMUNCHGRULFSWULFGWARFFFLE!!! And THIS is now a taco that Elissa would eat! Next you have to sprinkle cheese from 5 inches above the taco while making a silly face. Then you must evenly spread the salsa on the shell. First you need to perfectly balance the meat to grease ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Especially when I just spent the last hour and a half getting through about 40 photos trying to do an update when the wi-fi at the hotel just crashed and I lost everything. Â I know firsthand how frustrating that can be. It's happened to me my fair share of times. And like someone above said, you guys don't have to apologize for having fun on the trip. As much as everyone (including me) enjoys the updates, we'll understand if you can't get any updates on here. Â TPR Grand Prix - that sounds like a crazy time.
