Meteornotes Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is Orki. He spent a lot of time attacking Elissa on our previous trip. Sadly this event was not repeated. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Today we hit two parks - Sommerland Syd and Legoland. Sommerland Syd isn't a very big park, but it seems like a nice place for locals to spend an afternoon. It's mostly a water park with a few rides. Seems like a perfect place for a school outing, etc. They are also home to the world's first Vekoma Invertigo which oddly enough was great! Next was Legoland Billund which is the "original" Legoland (well, after they left Hansa Park) and it's probably the nicest of them all. It's at least bigger than the other two I've been to and seemed to have the most attractions. Their "Robocoaster" ride was very impressive being all indoors and not only allowed you to select the level of intensity, but also allowed you to select what maneuvers your Robocoaster arm did. EDIT - Theme Park Review featured in German Newspaper! Check it out: http://www.ln-online.de/regional/2606048 And we'll end this update with a random chainsaw bunny group photo! Next stop...Farup Sommerland! "Sorry Team Big Mike, next time...REMATCH!!!!" TEAM IGNITE IS THE WINNER!!!! GO TEAM IGNITE!!! GO!!!! Once you get to the fire your team needs to work together to pump the water and aim the cannon. The Fire Academy is one of my favorite attractions of all time. The concept is quite simple. You get into a team of 5 people and all teams jump into a fire truck and race to the fire! And then your off on your own customized ride of torture! Then you get to choose what you want your program to do! First you choose the intensity level 1-5. The Robocoaster attraction, "Power Builder" was awesome! Big Mike needs food badly! ROBB! DO NOT EAT THE FISH!!! THEY ARE NOT APPETIZERS!!! That is one UGLY fish! We should tell her "Big Mike has crabs!" Big Mike hits on our bus driver in the tunnel of fish. Lego fish. Lego A380. KidTums gets another kiddie coaster credit! Lego naked guy. Big Mike and his hero, Indiana Lego. Yay! Extreme Racers take over! Rapids ride with a huge drop! (Yes it had Lego water.) Legoland is TPR approved! "Legoldmine." See, it works because the "go" is part of Lego and part of Gold. Here is a "never in America" type of moment. Let's just take a look at this for a second. These are kids baking bread over an open fire. Now, let's just think about this concept from the American lawyer's perspective. "So you want to have a bunch of kids stand around an OPEN FIRE and give them something RAW that could make them sick if they eat it? SURE!!! Let's put that in our park!" (This is why I like going to European parks!) "This is a ride sign. Our goal is to have every ride in the park index to have a ride sign. Take pictures of them. DO IT!" Credit whores? Yup. We have found Lego Danish Mexicans. Next up...Legoland! Why does everyone today look like they are going to "nun school?" Oh goody...a non-looping Pinfari to kill us a little bit more! These expressions are using a lot less lube. These are expressions of pleasure. Pure pleasure. Like a lap dance or a night where you need multiple tubes a lube. That kind of amazing pleasure. Yay! The Vekoma is open! "It's cold, it's rainy, I saw people eating people...what's next?" Someone's gotta fix that kink in the water slide! Yes, that is a human powered looping bicycle ride. You know...maybe this wasn't such a good idea! It's funny because it sounds like "Ham"burger, but it's a "Hand"...like a human hand. And not just normal cannibalism, politically incorrect cannibalism! Yes, you are seeing this correctly, the log flume is themed to cannibalism! Well, we're already a bit wet, so why not do the water ride? From the outside, the water ride looks quite standard...but let's have a look at the bizarre dark ride section... Let's see...it's cold...it's a bit rainy...what ride should we do first? Hellllooooo Vekoma Invertigo. We'll get back to you later. Apache Stein looks like one of those trails you probably won't make it back from! Driver! Follow that sign!!!! Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.... Read this sign...READ IT! Read it out loud! When you figure out what it says...EMAIL DAN!!! mrt0ad13@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

televisedconfession Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I wish we had awesome water ride themes like that here in the states.

expeditioneverestfan Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm not "techy," either. I don't know how to create an MP3 voice file, but if I were so inclined, I wouldn't expect "someone" to "tell me how." I would do exactly as Robb suggested - google it. Then, if I couldn't figure it out on my own, I would nicely post in the "Ask Alvey" thread for some technical assistance, detailing what I had tried to help myself, and where I got stuck. I wouldn't just expect everyone to bend to my level of incompetence. I did try to google it but only found who to turn cds into MP3. I'm not expecting people to bend to my level of incompetence, I'm just asking for help. Anyways, I'll just find another way to get a Bag-o-Crap. So even though I started this conversation I just want to end it now and use this thread to talk about the trip. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 While I'm infinitely disappointed that there wasn't a repeat of "Orki the molestation whale versus Elissa!" ... I do find some sort of sick pleasure in the "unacceptable amount of wetness" look on her face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Human powered looping bicycle rides? I thought I've seen those in China before. The orginal Legoland looks fun!

Guy T. Koepp Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 See! Canabalism and kids cooking over open flame with raw stuff. You can't pay for that kind of entertainment here in tha states.

DiSab Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Absolutely awesome reports. I love reading this, seeing all these parks that I won't ever see. That robo-coaster looks sweet. Can't go wrong with cannibalism. I couldn't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanic Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 National Geographic opened a theme park? The absurdity of some of these parks is incredibly entertaining. I'm enjoying the updates and wish I were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ^It's great that these international theme parks have such a unabashed sense of humor. Whereas here in the US everyone is terrified that they may 'offend' someone. People need to not take things so seriously,(or personally) especially when your at a theme park, you should be relaxing and having a fun time. This trip report gets better everyday!

bluefire Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You all know what I enjoy the most about these trip reviews??
