Schwarzkopf Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is a collection of trip reports I posted on CoasterForce a while ago, which I thought you guys might like to see. They're all european parks, but there might be a couple of suprises too, depending on what I can dig up, haha. I thought i'd put them in one huge thread, instead of littering the place with loads of different ones... So yeah, last June my parents went to france/belgium for a booze/fag run day trip, and I tagged along and forced them to drop me off at the park for a few hours. Some of the photos are a bit dark, due to the crappy weather. Meh. Got up at 4:30am, straight into the car. A wide-awake me... yay for not having to drive! After about an hour and a half we went past Old Macdonalds farm on the M25, and saw the cred! (If you live anywhere near there and haven't been on that coaster you should be ashamed, deeply). The weather in Dover was fabulous, naturally. As was the weather in the channel. An hours drive from Calais and we were at the park, so le parents dropped me off and arranged to pick me up in about 2 hours. Le Entrance (and a road sweeper thing): There was a cute little castle thing... Then I got to the first coaster, Keverbaan, a tivoli large. Sorry Shockwave, the award for dingiest queueline has moved onto someone else! Whores on the train before me: This had a bigger queue than the Boomerang, at about 10mins. Actually, it was the only ride that wasn't walk on! It had a tunnel over the lift hill, a trend i've noticed on these models: It was a typical Tivoli large... loud, rattley and spoiled by the long trains. I much prefer the Medium ones. Everything was foreign, apart from this ever so generic sign: There was some cute theming! Oh poo, what's that I see in the background? Ugh, it's a Boomerang! Not any Boomerang... the oldest evar Boomerang ;(. Cobra roll of pain. Loop of pain. The lift hills are fab though, so much willy lift! Yay! Already disabled? Use the exit path! WANT to be disabled? Queue with everyone else! About to get some liftage of willy. They had a breakdance. Lolz. They had a topple tower. It towered. It toppled. It sucked. They had a log flume, but with the weather, and it being a log flume, cardiac arrest was more appealing. I wanted to go in the Zombie House, but it was halloween only . The walk to the other area of the park was a trekkkk This park reminded me of Efteling, but without the bad food. Ahh, I've found the tower ride! (seriously, I hadn't actually seen it until this point) This was pretty good - the launch took me by suprise and the turbo drop thing had quite a lot of airtime. They had a splashdown. It went down. It splashed. No thanks... They had slides! I didn't ride, as i'm happy being HIV negative. Ew. I then stumbled upon the rapids, which I rode because of the fab bendy boats <3. They bent. Bent some more. They then splashed. Ugh. They were pretty poor rapids, but I always have to do them when a park has them, lol. Spite Flaminge-oland They had a madhouse! The preshow room was fantastic, with (I think) a good story and good theming. The effects were pretty cool too. I didn't really know what was going on though! Shame the ride bit let it down, with practically no theming whatsoever: I'll finish with a group photo. Loner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
televisedconfession Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hahaha awesome! Such a cute, but odd park. What is that Topple Tower themed after exactly? A Do-do Bird? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
