Fran1962 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hanno, THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!! Great to see your extensive collection. (I also look at your pictures on Coppermine) These pictures were worth waiting for. Especially the Scad Tower! I've been showing them to my friends, coworkers and family and they all love them too. All my best, Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 ^ you're welcome. Alway good to hear when people appreciate the effort (and the pictures) Â Anyway, it's been a while (again) but it's time for another update.. Â Day 8 Tusenfryd. Â I did not know much from this place except is was in Norway.. and that's about it i think.. Turns out it's a very nice park, a good exercise to walk around and i guess i'll have to get back there someday. Â This update will be 2 posts... launch fun so how's the ride? Looks like a fun ride.. another train with riders as you can see.. the escalator goes through the loop... coming round the corner.. random hair flying round photo lap time i even spotted some familiar faces on one of the boats.. looks like a lot of water made it to the pavement or know where you can hide/duck run... here comes the splash..... ok, i was lazy and did not feel like walking all the way down there.. (and back up again) random theming tree shot not sure on what to say about this.. owh yeah...another interesting ride.. some random theming first drop fun Back to the coasters that looks pretty high.. there's plenty to do for all ages in all areas.. what's in a name? Thunder Coaster a wooden coaster.. yummie ok, time to move on.. there's more in this park the sky reminded me of a cartoon series... but that might have been just me... Plenty of these were around.. only in europe... only in europe.. Speed Monster yup.. this escalator is the entrance to the park.. and the coaster.. a well Something with a tree Looks like a fun ride I feel it's a good sign when you can see the first coaster moving when entering the park I guess we made it to the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 time for some more pictures.. Â Next stop.. after this update.. Liseberg.. hopefully it won't that as long as this one.. and i'll leave you with this image. next stop.. Liseberg and some other technical stuff.. pretty big engine curious people as close as i actually got to make it through that element after the launch.. tpdrewl making a tpface.. or something like that? only in europe not sure what was going on here.. but it was funny (i guess) being nerdy.. final stretch home yeah.. this really needed a flag... there they go... scream if you like it.. I guess this was a haunted house? Speed Monster strike a pose get ready to launch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkologist Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Great TR, Hanno! Yourtrip reports are very enjoyable, fun and easy to read(shorter). Â Off topic...Where in Norway is Tusenfryd? Mountains or a hliiy part, maybe? ahh...THE sign of utmost quality. Sexy beast, isn't she. I love how it wraps around the main entrance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The park is south of Oslo. Â The area around Tusenfryd, including in the park itself, is quite hilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Be glad you didn't venture down the hill for the supersplash. ONE BOAT OPERATION on a hot day was redonkeylous. Â I love the picture from the side showing the escalator threading the loop. Â This was a great park with less than stellar operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah i heard they were running only one boat. I did wonder while taking pictures why it took this long between the boats to come out of the station etc. Â For the rest.. it was a fun day. But i can't remember and not fun day with a TPR group.

cfc Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Tusenfryd is a nice park in a beautiful location, but they did seem a bit understaffed that day. Speed Monster and Thunder Coaster are good rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes, finally it's time for another update  Day 9 : Liseberg.  After seeing the video of the visit by TPR in 2006 this park was on my to-do list for a long time. Especially keeping in mind i stayed at the hotel across the street a couple of times while the park was closed. Being able to look at their wooden coaster from my room.. was very annoying.. especially after seeing the video later on which showed how amazing Balder was.  Now the challenge for today.. would Liseberg be as good as i believed it would be? Would it live up to it's hype? How would Balder be? How would the ladies look? What am i saying/thinking..  Off course it did  Anyway.. enough memories/stories. It's picture time. Due to the number of images i want to share this will be an update in 2 posts... hmm, this looks promissing to start the day I guess we're heading in the right direction ehmm the famous entrance so many captions i can add to this one.. want to share your ideas? hmm, coaster track.. but first things first.. it's wood it's good wood.. i think.. and finally i can touch it.. It's Balder.. yeah owh and don't forget this one is right next door Hi Joey (look at the video from the 2006 visit) welcome words snacks and drinks (including alcohol) is there a etter way to start the day? owh, we are also allowed to write on the coaster... time to update this one it's 2009 they all looks so happy and normal.. hmm would that be caused by the bear? wait a second.. what's that hammer doing there? i guess this sums it up, hammers alcohol and TPR.. just amazing, surprising, awesome and confusing to some thank you all, and yes.. this area is inside the coaster looks very promising.. had to add this id i mention how awesome this area was? Coaster track all around us.. and don't forget the caps and bunny ears that were included as well today.. ok, time to ride this coaster. Hands up if you like it feeling like you're in heaven?? don't you just love ERT sessions having fun.. and other "normal" faces... do you want to ride some more?? the sign and coaster first drop fun... (more close ups will follow later) don't forget about Kanonen as well.. it's running hands up... happy people it was this amazing and so much fun.. the old one (i guess?) but wait.. there's more inside of the station going up.. between the trees one of the few normal pictures.. it's a good day because i like the view having a great time between the trees time to move on... and yes.. we're still at the park haunted house tour..

Here's the second part of this update Time to check out the rest of the park.. first stop.. kiddie coaster as seen from the que area.. sing along in tha station.. somebody better have some video footage of this.. time for something totally different.. ehmm random sign you would almost forget about this coaster... but yeah.. Kanonen deserves some love as well random people hmm.. sweden.. loop some sort of artsy shot attempt.. for some reason i really like this one.. launch launch... go go go this happens when somebody borrows your camera... time for a short break... now where would we go in town? ehm... don't you love the language? back in the park.. swing, big swing normal face.. nothing special here... some random people scream if you... ehm.. never mind time to take a look at the park from a different angle.. swing crossing the logflume final drop fun.. enjoying the day ok, time for some more Balder pictures.. first drop fun.. hmmm same sign as this morning.. the sun is just at a different spot.. (H) Airtime beatifull blue sky sweden.. (h) airtime.. Balder.. life is good and sweet... different angle do i need to any comment to this? first drop fun Kanonen hair fun.. Sweden... so close to each other.. and so totally different 70 degrees time to enjoy the haunted hause.. joy.. plenty of joy.. starting the first drop.. let's end the day were it started.. more ERT on Balder.. and believe it or not.. it was running amazing in the mroning.. but the evening.. was even better.. totally worth the trip big smiles, very big smiles.. Thank you Liseberg for an amazing day, Thank you. Can we make this an add-on to every TPR trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillerman1 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 This was one of my absolute favorite days of my entire life, and I wish I could go back and relive it all over again (and again, and again). Everything was just so perfect at Liseberg from start to finish. By the way, the Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce were incredible at Liseberg. Â Thanks for the amazing pics as always Hanno!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Wow, just makes you remember how awesome that trip was, especially Liseberg.

Hhappy Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Day 10 Skara Sommarland  Another place i did not know much about before heading there. I did know that they had a new unique S&S coaster and i was looking forward to this. As the pictures will show this was one very interesting ride. Lots and lots of fun and i do hope that more of those will be built over time. The park itself had a nice charm to it and i can't wait to see what it will be like in a couple of years.  Enough said.. picture time. welcoming sign looks like bungee next door having fun while waiting for the park to open the doors.. i see something behind the trees another Elissa friendly place looks like everybody is taking the same picture.. aha, it's a shiny blue coaster.. what's that? it looks like a bird time for a closer look Tranan, that's what it's called yup.. it's birds the seats.. still empty at this moment.. as seen from the other side a lot of wheels open structure to give you an idea of how this works.. just in case you forgot where we are today.. feeling nerdy.. train station building trying something else seating arrangement getting ready to fly... seat belt happy faces ok, let's check out a little more of this park.. staff... i love sweden.. did i mention that before? some signs are just amazing.. credit time why so confused? together with all his friends.. enjoying the ride.. the entire train.. time for a bonus lap random theming Alabama.... ok, time to check out this coaster again..
