Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages I am proud to present to you the RETURN of the Scandi Trip 2009 via The "Smile Cam" trip report after a 2 year absence.

 

Now for those of you who don't know what the Smile Cam is then feel free to look back at past updates but if your too lazy and only want to see these update we are returning with a double header update featuring Karolinelund and Tusenfryd. So here we go.

Robb is sitting here reflecting back on how much he loved the Smile Cam trip report and wished it was back. Little did he know one day it would return! Well either that or he’s reflecting on life as he’s on a Boomerang.

Elissa: "Why did you make me ride with Hanno?"

Hanno: "Smile and wave boys, smile and wave!"

"OH MY GOD IVE BEEN BUTT RAPED!"

Hanno: "Hey that wasn’t too bad actually."

Elissa: "I feel dirty."

Robb: "Hey Big Mike, hows it going? Do you like being clenched and squished with me?"

5.1.thumb.JPG.9a982c734ddcededd495cfbdf18c9b98.JPG

Oh I think Robb just learnt why they call him BIG Mike.

6.thumb.JPG.485eb3b64680e64890ec1b357831147f.JPG

Well it seems Big Mike enjoyed whatever happened Robb on the other hand.......

Russ: "Oh there it is!"

Rich: "See I knew it would be there."

"I like a good Wacky Worm!"

"So guys for those of you that don’t know I have discovered why Big Mike is really called Big Mike. Yes I do feel dirty and violated, however I did enjoy it!"

11.1.jpg.e8f359a229888c044137d453c13857c0.jpg

Now we are at Tusenfryd and Big Mike is on a mission to impress all the ladies.

Even Hanno seems to be happy to see Big Mike!

"Hey ladies, fancy a ride?"

13.1.jpg.d34777262af29f769e2e1062cf78f641.jpg

To be honest I didn’t know smile cam took this picture but I am sure is hell glad it did.

14.jpg.8bcd9c85b487b9cde0bbfe81959540e3.jpg

A "special" Dutch man and an angry Aussie. I don’t feel I need to say anymore.

"Whatcha gonna do when Larry runs wild on you!"

"Yes we are all nerds! Deal with it!"

17.jpg.7134be061fd7f64619e88b526a83dbb3.jpg

"I’m so happy my hand is melting!"

"Hey ladies, if you ever want to see my hydraulics room just ask!”

"The barrel says something rude" *giggles*

20.jpg.4a1bbad1fcbb2818b555f0182d2e2cd7.jpg

Only a true coaster nerd will smile like this when getting a behind the scenes tour.

21.jpg.cee11670ba4d2965dfe77c03f351c238.jpg

Wow Big Mike can find the ladies anywhere!

22.jpg.aa2ecfd750656ff048e037a2fee97243.jpg

I can tell you what this engineer is thinking. He’s thinking "Why oh why did I let these people in! Who knows what could happen?"

23.thumb.JPG.e47e521a73890ef6aa563f1a5038a4fb.JPG

Everyone is celebrating that the smile cam is back as you can see. I hope you have all enjoyed the return of the Scandi Smile Cam and will come back for further updates. If not ..........

Its time once again to bring back this trip report and I'm determined to finish it this time!

 

What better park to bring this back than the park we visisted on day 9 of the trip, Liseberg!

 

LisebergSC_001.thumb.JPG.2c82d573bd0080ca67f73fbbb2f6fe65.JPG

What is wrong with you crazy people. You want to ride Balder without beer in your system?

LisebergSC_002.thumb.JPG.131e1aa2eec7085ff321a0c0176ae2e3.JPG

"Hello I am in charge of beer distribution. Raise your hands if you want hammers and beer."

LisebergSC_003.jpg.464f8c6e8f7ea6ba212ea65c066ef210.jpg

Thumbs up for touching Balders wood!

LisebergSC_004.jpg.8f56ed2124300b4d9d0c61c88fb62922.jpg

Hanno looks very comfortable with his bunny ears on.....

LisebergSC_005.jpg.c8c40082d4ba67daf5fbb1b168e51e12.jpg

"Oh damn, I got myself some beer and I'm watching some serious hammering going on! Life is good"

LisebergSC_006.jpg.a7dabde8d0a8cb89f8cced9de8bd0392.jpg

OMG DJ Lance has ridden Balder!!!!

LisebergSC_007.thumb.JPG.010974241d9dc6246441c4c1d70b1c22.JPG

Why is it that I always suck at nailing things?

LisebergSC_008.thumb.JPG.86547c2922792972520b1027f780d5b7.JPG

Even though KT couldnt ride Balder she was still allowed to make her mark on it!

LisebergSC_009JPG.thumb.JPG.3631f7697dbefd86dc442dc96e915449.JPG

A bit round of applause for Balder, Beer and Hammers!

LisebergSC_010.jpg.9a791a13d5e923d47b55ad94d3d97c5c.jpg

Robb nailed Balder hard and left his mark!

LisebergSC_011.thumb.JPG.cc2cc21134c62710097a74c7e35f2d91.JPG

This is a bold bold statement by Elissa so that shows just how good Balder is!

LisebergSC_012.thumb.JPG.4135b5bacd724806f0e9714343b6e52f.JPG

This is the equivalent of looking up Balders skirt and its AWESOME!

LisebergSC_013.thumb.JPG.82ed2ad99eba65d261027a75d5a36343.JPG

Did Hanno see a naked lady or was he impressed with my amazing escalator dancing skills?

LisebergSC_014.jpg.4a15ae52ff27e86b6f206684a7808bad.jpg

Has Hanno seen his one true love or is he slightly constipated?

LisebergSC_015.jpg.8ec8a490ab86593d76506b50bfc76348.jpg

One way or another I think this bunny is laughing at him.

LisebergSC_016.jpg.e79fab20c2e783d7000476952be568a2.jpg

KT looks super excited for insane green bunny ride, Robb and Elissa don't share the same thought I think.

LisebergSC_017.thumb.JPG.b6f4826b04affb3efe74c99e618882f3.JPG

Someone seems to be having a serious Kanonen orgasm!

LisebergSC_018.thumb.JPG.8465f461e956761d0e7c038caec698ff.JPG

"Wait you mean we have to ride for a third time?"

LisebergSC_019.thumb.JPG.0a4397edd5790e1e44587248565d53ec.JPG

"OMG yes we got a freaking Intamin roll back! You should all be jealous"

LisebergSC_020.jpg.cd72251898466539eaaede8d97d43a2c.jpg

"Oh no you all caught me on the kiddies truck ride. I was just er term testing it to see if it was fun for them?"

LisebergSC_021.thumb.JPG.31896b0a57469ba49a2a3b66e35ffb83.JPG

I love Scandinavia SOOOOOOOO much!

LisebergSC_022.thumb.JPG.30d91da181a54f13a3f659fe093a6909.JPG

This picture serves as a notice to all TPR members. DONT piss Elissa off!

LisebergSC_023.thumb.JPG.5c91332e9e5bb945c3cbf9a05ad1a2a1.JPG

I think I may have drunk a little too much beer in the morning.

LIsebergSC_024.thumb.JPG.eadfe8280d8b4af4a9d9d9419a72b09b.JPG

Oh good lord when will it end?

LisebergSC_025.thumb.JPG.3883da9d0fd22ffbf1cc14ab58131756.JPG

Elissa is better at handling a cannon than me.

LisebergSC_026.jpg.72763569926061234d2faefb004ac9a3.jpg

Am I high or does everyone else see the giant floating bunny?

LisebergSC_027.thumb.JPG.7f5117442192800cecd13a5716f4f8ed.JPG

You will fear popcorn lizard!

LisebergSC_028.thumb.JPG.8267e8db14415ad13f20519fa4b5ee4a.JPG

Or you will fear Robb! Which is scarier? Post below with you answer.

LisebergSC_029.jpg.c96cad5d11e516fb9679538c6f178b50.jpg

Sadly we have to wave goodbye to Liseberg and its always sad to drive away.

LisebergSC_030.thumb.JPG.8f58ca7411347bb3cc79cdb515d79cc0.JPG

But don't worry we have this licking toad to keep us busy on the drive home. I really should "Give up the Toad now"

 

So there you have it the smile cam has returned and there is plenty more awesome Scandinavian stuff to come up! Next up will be Skara Sommarland and Grona Lund! So comment below and I promise I will make sure to finish this trip report this time round

So many great memories of that trip. The staff at Liseberg was great, and they greeted us in the morning with snacks, beer, and hammers under Balder.

 

Need to go back there--now!

You thought I had forgotten about about this trip report again didn't you. Well I'm happy to say I haven't forgotten about it and it will be finished! Today I bring you the update from the worlds largest Ikea and Grona Lund! I have had to miss out Skara Sommerland as there wasn't any good pictures from there. To make up for that please enjoy this POV of Tranan!

"Yay we are at the worlds largest Ikea! Where is Robb's wallet?"

Lou is holding an Ikea certified rodent!

Grona_004.thumb.JPG.4f31944f7774ae8aae0707b7804f6182.JPG

If all of Robb's thoughts appeared above his head in a bubble it would be amazing I'm sure!

Grona_006.thumb.JPG.5b5a06b37b422c6249b6ffd2c6da530c.JPG

Im sorry Dave but I don't think they will let you take a fridge/freezer on the plane as excess baggage.

Grona_007.thumb.JPG.44f247d1439798aacc393cb0bffa43ca.JPG

Even at a young age KT loved Ikea! She definitely takes after Elissa.

Grona_008.thumb.JPG.c6debcd2cb9a168924565be041c581ae.JPG

Do you think this is good value to buy your very own Dave?

Grona_009.thumb.JPG.1c48d2a663e48abb577b843a0559db57.JPG

Some people just can't handle the worlds largest Ikea.

Grona_010.thumb.JPG.026b46d094ebcb3ab1329ea37081ecc9.JPG

Oh dear I think this is what Ikea overload looks like.

Grona_011.jpg.aa0325c4f4abd1a8994978e33ea974e0.jpg

Is Steve drunk or excited for Grona Lund?

Grona_012.jpg.f30aa5638e063e220713784e2a4b6ac1.jpg

Wait you mean I have to ride with Magnus P.I?

Grona_013.jpg.dcec4ab61cf85cf2fc1ff1abf0b2c55a.jpg

"I LOVE YOU ROBB!!!"

Grona_014.jpg.e613832c756de765ac42c2811d8d8b28.jpg

"Okay what is going on now?"

Grona_015.thumb.JPG.004609d94cc795dfb1f318760bf117ca.JPG

"I have a child so this is perfectly acceptable."

Grona_016.thumb.JPG.5166f53d6d65df593c0610b49129d886.JPG

The clenching and squishing in this photo on the other hand may not be.

Grona_017.thumb.JPG.245c7fefa9917920f5a25ce376bf6484.JPG

Hanno is terrified someone will find out about his dirty little secret!

Grona_018.jpg.bade9a720cc515be602504471cb8106b.jpg

There is footage of this coaster. How many of you would like to see "Credit Whores in the Raw"?

Grona_019.jpg.40b1d4bfa57d0cac8ff0a71f5e6dd38d.jpg

Sometimes you just have to be serious when riding a Vekoma!

Grona_020.jpg.2a469b7760c11dbef5b4ea2b2e05a30d.jpg

A floorless stand up drop towers, something good for the ladies, bad for the men!

Moment before testicle crushing commences.

"No more big rides! FUN HOUSE TIME!"

Grona_023.jpg.9b3d9ff436407e297b4b6bd4bbe81da8.jpg

I think someone enjoyed the bumpy conveyor slide very much.

Grona_024.jpg.578d6c644c4d17d66709490936be3508.jpg

KT loved this even though at the time it was not a Frog Hopper!

Grona_025.jpg.57441158461e0a179737f781dc96c3a5.jpg

Is Elissa going to recreate the Lion King after this photo? What do you think?

Grona_026.thumb.JPG.dc26d6bf26f104aeb0ca96afd3c05e27.JPG

Even the park owners make sure to get in on the coaster action!

Grona_027.jpg.def9271005ecebd9e36d36fb91eeeb4e.jpg

Robb: "I didn't think I would have to teach KT to drive for many more years!"

"In the epic battle of TPR Vs Moles there can only be one winner.........."

Grona_030.thumb.JPG.5c35605dde6aac94e365e1fe6262ec5d.JPG

Which of course it is going to be Elissa!

Grona_031.thumb.JPG.d39424499ab24c584c260ace876dac48.JPG

And naturally being the Whack-A-Mole expert that she is she got the high score!

Grona_032.thumb.JPG.fcbf5a6f838dfb8bd1a0fb17134d6a53.JPG

"Wait have we forgotten something?"

Grona_033.thumb.JPG.1c37520695bde3b46ec1ed9ce96d17a0.JPG

Of course we have! More beer!

Grona_034.thumb.JPG.0a2ee9a774d64c223f98b43b894d6382.JPG

I have no recollection of what I am doing to Steve here and I don't want to remember either!

Grona_035.thumb.JPG.55328e0ed2ad3724ae90d84ce6feba87.JPG

"Bye bye your all going to feel sick on Insane"

Grona_036.jpg.b5cf71d79d029eb6849bc474ff4bd9e9.jpg

Safety checks are always paramount on roller coasters. This is exactly why Robb is just checking his man bank is where it should be.

Grona_037.jpg.541ae9c000d4110ecf1f7eb4c821cb4f.jpg

Is that a look of concern or excitement?

Grona_038.thumb.JPG.2c5650835ffa099353257a17d5ca4ebf.JPG

"OMG WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!"

Grona_039.jpg.9b3577b0f7c3954c277ff34a416fee19.jpg

Insane looks like it can be a life changing experience for someone people!

Grona_040.thumb.JPG.ffca3c71ee28c3664a395439593aa48c.JPG

This is a look of "This may be one of the dumbest things I've ever done!"

Grona_041.thumb.JPG.8790b912137d9fe6eaa2276cb8297617.JPG

"Why the hell are you making me do this again?"

Grona_042.thumb.JPG.618b9001dac72a1c6b5264adbda1c4a7.JPG

The realisation that the car you are in is going to be super unbalanced!

Grona_043.thumb.JPG.c30b3adad54743eaae9814c42cf6ab3a.JPG

The best way to end this section of the trip report is with Elissa eating a giant block of cheese!

 

So there you have it Ikea and Grona Lund via the "Smile cam"! Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you are looking forward to the next instalment.

My ride with Elissa on Insane was, indeed, insane. However, my ride with Erik Penders went one step beyond that!

 

Two big guys + unbalanced car = SAVE ME JEEBUS!

 

I miss the Scandanavian parks--need to get back there.

Lol is this the longest it has ever taken to do a trip report on TPR??

 

Anyway, I enjoy reading it very much! I haven't been to Gröna Lund since 2011, but I can safely say I have not experienced anything like Insane in those four years...

 

Oh and Ikea is always fun. I'm fortunate to have Norways largest Ikea only 15 minutes away!

I think through the years of TPR Trips I've proved my cheese consumption prowess.

 

You have without question proved to be a cheese eating champion! I remember when you got back on the bus with that block of cheese and I was thinking "there is no way you will be able to eat all that". I was proved wrong.

Clicked into this report from the front page and started looking at the pictures. I was thinking to myself that I don't remember these people on the trip then I realized it was the one 6 years ago!.
