TPDave Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Awesome stuff as usual Hanno! It's a shame the drop tower broke, it would have been nice to have some more reaction shots I didn't realise how much air there was on the eurofighter drop (or how special Brad looked at the bottom of it!). Keep up the great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Time flies and it's been too long since my last update (sorry folks) I love all the comments so far and hope you will enjoy this update as well. Day 2 Tivoli Gardens Withing walking distance of our hotel this lovely park could be found. Here's a selection of my pictures in the order they were taken. Hope you like them. you're doing it wrong.. one big blur.. that's going to leave a mark.. time for more funhouse fun.. always fun food time don't you love the look on those restraints? just to give you and idea of the size of this ride.. what happened?? more plane fun.. random train and people.. seen from the ground (instead of that other angle) slide fun bit of funhouse fun.. light effect dark ride fun... and this is how it works.. and yes.. it says 5G ok.. this plane on a stick ride was crazy.. especially if 2 people control the stick and manage to get us "stuck" on the highest point doing all kinds of turns and rolls.. while staying at the highest point.. kiddie credit fun.. i'll get back to you later on... not sure what happened here... front row fun.. almost... through the... nice corner to relax if you want to.. trying something "new" more hair.. different angle.. another kind of pet.. i guess fail.. ehm.. what's happening there?? here we go... ehm.. steve... next train.. looks like fun i believe i can fly.. almost hitting the brakes.. inside the station time for more ERT fail.. empty train.. fail.. no train.. not sure what happened here.. but somebody seems to enjoy it.. sorry for the lack of quality.. but i guess you get the idea.. after a few laps... no worries there?? is that a happy face?? Kidtums was having a great day i see 2 options... what do you see? did i mention the place was beautifull? thanks for some awesome rides and the tour, i would not mind to go back someday everybody trying to get the same picture.. thank you going round round.. so many interesting things to look at and info to listen to somewhere in this blur... I love how these backstage tours.. when would you normally (as a normal guest) get the chance to look at the bottom of such a ride and how they do maintenance? a different angle.. "are they really letting me control the brakes on this??" plenty of airtime despite the ride's age behind the scene's fun fun fun next train open mouth is part of the ride? hands up is always a good sign hairtime looks like they are enjoying this ride eehhmm what's happening here.. rutschebanen... is everybody happy?? first stop of the day ... this interesting character?? welcome to the park.. not sure what happened here.. or was everybody looking at... One of the entrances to this park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado fun there had to be a better photo spot.. but i failed on finding it soon enough.. TPR train.. time for some mine train fun.. no comment.. ( i know "payback" will come sooner or later) thanks for some awesome rides and some excellent photo ops TPDave looks very worries.. i guess i would be as well... knowing the brakeman on this ride.. so far so good.. here they go.. this is going to be fun... worried faces... and Robb as brakeman... why is everybody looking back and does Robb seem to be very happy?? nice hair no fear of bugs.. Erik is doing his thing once again.. as far as i can remember.. the best spot of the ride.. (but i did only ride it in the front) mommy getting ready for the final part.. some more happy riders something random and the brakeman is just sitting there and doing his thing.. a picture says more then a thousand words.. spot the airtime.. what's up Craig?? time for some rider reactions.. and seen from the drop on the other side.. happy people ehm.. what's that?? drop time going up.. and yes.. it does look.. ehm.. one of the first trains leaving the station. i do like how green this structure is.. but first.. speech time.. looks like everything is ready for some riders.. After some amazing food it was time to check out this ride.. i'll be back for a ride on this.. this year's new ride another splash battle this looks interesting.. on our way to the first stop... always smiling during this trip Getting ready to enter the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hanno you have done it again. I think you captured me on the woodie right after Erik cracked my ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Payback will be coming I can promise that! And that frog hopper was amazing, I rode it something like 4 times in the rain with Kristen. Beware of the testicle crushing abilitys of that ride though. Great photos as usual and I especially like the one you got of me filming Terry at almost the same moment smile cam picked that expression up!

Hhappy Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 I can't believe it has been that long since the last update i've posted. I guess i've been pretty darn busy between that day and today.. Anyway.. time to continue this story. Next stop of this fun trip was Hansa Park. The weather was not perfect that day.. i destroyed one of my camera lenses there.. but we still managed to have an amazing time and a great day. I'll try to do more frequent updates over the next couple of weeks and maybe i'll finish this trip report someday. Hope you like it. that's it folks for this update. Hope you enjoyed it.. some random people enjoying their ride boat ride and flowers.. these are always fun when the weather is working for you at the same time.. i did not know we were this close all the time.. Crazy mine... looks like they are down for the count.. there's always someone trying to show of... and we all know what happened a previous time.. let's all jump up and down on this big pillow/air thingy and see what happens.. ok, time for something totally random.. That's right Big Mike, it was fun. not sure what to say regarding this one.. please wave to all the TPR members that were not on this trip bring on the bugs.. how are you doing Divv?? here we go... this might be interesting.. come on guys.. what's taking you so long?? ok, i'm ready.. now where are all the trp members so we can get some funny pictures? did anyone go down this slide? and then there were these.. if i remember correctly they even played the tune which belongs to the video with the same animals in it.. a horseback ride for the kids There was a survival course which took you high above the ground.. i know i know.. but please wait a little longer.. i have some other shots first.. but i'll get back to the crazy mine.. no worries. Food time.. enjoying the view.. i already needed some earplugs while these were on their way up... image what happened when the ride "dropped" The crazy mine.. but more on that later.. to keep up with this reports tradition.. This reminded me of a cartoon... just can't remember the name in English.. ok, who parked that boat there? this ride was actually pretty darn "funny" especially when entering the brake run.. or not Craig? and no.. this ain't a photoshop.. stupid pole... yes please.. the station is in that direction.. hope you're enjoying your ride.. camera's ready, thumbs up.. let's go it's time for the TPR takeover. this view might be a bit different next year.. running out of captions already.. hmmm it's green and it ain't the Hulk.. but it sure is a fun ride. happy faces all around is always a good sign.. Vladimir... it's funny faces time again trying to find my way out after enjoying a ride of the new coaster There was plenty of green on the way to the first credit stop.. Only 3,5 months ago?? wow.. it feels like forever.. i guess i need to start riding coasters again.. looking up instead of down... why not.. more flags more fun, it's time for Hansa Park and their new coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Thanks Larry. Just as a small addition.. here's some fun footage from the Crazy Mine.

natatomic Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Excellent trip report, Hanno! I'm such a fan of your photos. And you've now convinced me to forgo all TPR trips so that I can save up for the next Scandinavia trip. That part of the world (and it's parks) looks AMAZING.

ginzo Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 ^It was an excellent trip. The parks were so nice to us. Nearly everywhere we went we got the red carpet treatment. Surprisingly good coasters and parks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Another great update from a great park. Just to make a point, the mine train was extremely fun! but when you were not expecting the train to come to such a sudden stop, its not all that great! Everyone has to check out the Crazy Mine video as it is seriously funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have to say these European parks are absolutely gorgeous and even a bit eccentric. I love the fun houses at Tivoli, and always loved seeing Hansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 It's time for Day 5 of the Scandi Trip. This day i did not take that many pictures (more like hardly any) due to the weather. It was raining most of the day and since i was already using my back-up camera lens i did not feel like risking it any further and decided to keep the camera in the bag for most of the time. Today we visited 2 parks. Sommerland Syd & Legoland, Denmark. For work i had been in the area where Legoland is located before.. but the park was closed during that period. So i was looking forward to this visit. I feel i have to go back there someday and experience it again with a little better weather. But we still managed to have a great time. So here are some pictures, hope you enjoy them. and once you were done.. you would get the thumbs up.. that's it for today.. so the trick was to add some more water (not just the rain) and spray that through the nice opening in front of you... no worries.. i'll put on the brakes for you guys.. time for the main event kiddie credit time.. Close to Billund.. there's Legoland (Denmark) I guess it was a short night... time to go to the next park.. or maybe not.... gna gna gna... looks like they made it... don't sink the boat... ehmm.. where did they go?? here's the big drop... and this was only the small drop.... some more volunteers... why not indeed.. here they go... but first things first.. since it's already raining.. let's go on a water ride... and a go-kart track as well.. They did have a trucker pitt Time to go I don't have a clue on what it says.. but i think i just liked how it looks.. hmm, that looks interesting.. I guess we should be heading in that direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I don't have a clue on what it says.. but i think i just liked how it looks.. Looked like Danish for "go something yourself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Time flies when you're having fun. It took me a little longer then expected.. but here's another update. Day 6 Part 1: This mornings stop was Farup Sommerland. and the last one for this morning.. time for another quick lap at Lynet.. and some other stuff.. to be able to do this.. This place is also well known for the MonkeyBars from a previous video.. but to get there.. we had to pass some other challenges.. like a slide.. some people have fun doing just about anything.. can we please get back into the dry station?? Pass the Sword Station and train in the final turn Just a little further and then you're back at the station just above the tree's they look so happy hmm, looks like it's raining Next stop.. Falken. The parks woodie up side down Feeling cold? it's a bit dark.. but the station was nice and warm Hmm, who's that looking like some movie character?? Almost back to the station guys lot's of poncho's since it was another wet day.. but the ride was still a lot of fun. and the trains look good as well Coaster time, another amazing coaster, this one was named Lynet We are almost there what should i say about this? Looks like somebody had way too much energy this morning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
