Day 3/3 : Europapark

Final Europapark picture. Actually it isn't. Next update will be the 'Baby makes here blue jeans' poll @ Europapark.

Coming through ...

Pegasus theming

And the winner is ...

Raft bridge.

One more ride on Blue Fire

Soccer bumpercars

Everyone who have read my WCT report, knows that I like clean windows on skytowers. At Europapark, the windows were perfectly clean.

Some views taken from the skytower

The movie was good, the 4d effects weren't.

Yes, you look stupid !

I'm a fan of John Travolta

Silver Star

Wwwwhhhhiiiiieeeeee !

And suddenly we're at Poseidon.

Going down

Blue Fire

Coaster part

Awesome theming.

Traffic jam.

After 2 rides on Blue Fire, we still had time to ride Atlantica during ERT.

Iceland

At this point you still didn't reach the single riders line (

Train

Like Hans said, this is really a weird element.

Hotel ERT on Blue Fire

Now, that`s easy...

 

Nr. 6 looks VERY nice, but Nr. 2...just WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOW !

 

The Butt-poll is a great idea besides...but I mean, you were bored at Europa... ?

Hmmm, didn`t hear that before. Maybe you`re very much into taking butt-pics and needed an excuse.

Man, that`s okay, that`s just testosterone...you`re still young, so what do you expect...?

Yeah, it maybe wasn't because we were really bored

 

I'll try to upload the Fantasticable update still this week.

[Pufferfish]

This is one of the best polls this site has ever seen. Babe 10 for the win!

[televisedconfession]

Babe 17 any day!!

 

Great update guys. Those Log Flumes look amazing!!!!

 

Europa Park looks so beautiful, I really gotta get over there one day!

 

Keep it up!

[odene497]

Babe 17 totally wins. Awesome pictures guys, Blue Fire is gorrrgeous.

[Emiroo]

I prefer a bit more booty than any of those girls are offering...

 

And how come no parks in the US have the whirlpool on their raft rides? Even though it's purely cosmetic, it's an awesome touch.

[DenDen]

Babe 17! BABE SAY-VEN-TINE!!!!

[cinciDAWGS12]

This is the best trip report ever! Europa looks like a fantastic park with some even better rides. The hotel looks amazing! I have to get out there sometime. And you gotta love the butt-poll! haha

[65skylark]

#6 all the way.

 

Great report. Fantastic pictures! I really NEED to get to Europe one of these years.

Wild Aventures has it.

How juvenile!

 

#7

[odene497]

^The sad thing is I think all trip reports now require a creepy body part judging contest.

[Moose]

Mmmmm Poseidon. 17.... his ass looks so hard you could bounce quarters (or Euros) off of it.

[Disney Freak Andrew]

# 2, all the way

[PDXAngel]

I started out with #2, then HAD to go with #13. Better legs. Then I saw the Rump di Ver di Gris. #17 in all its homo-erotic glory...

 

Wouldn't we all prefer a Greek or Roman God?

 

.. oh. I see the flaw in my logic. Continue to the next post...

[slither37]

Hmmmm, now that you have done a butt poll, I wonder how long until someone does a boob poll?

 

#7, most of these babes are too skinny for me.

[GeorgeT]

Hey, Beavis...Butt-Poll...yeah, haha...BUTT-POLL...now, that`d be cool...haha...YEAH !

[CorkscrewFoley]

WOW, I love Babe 2, but I love the camel toe on three...still, I'm going with two.

[Groteslurf]

My final update of the trip.

 

After a very long night at the Mille Miglia bar and a very short sleep, we left Europapark and headed home. On our way home however, there was still a last attraction waiting for us : the Fantasticable at Haybes Fumay, France.

So what is a Fantasticable ? It's a cable and it is fantastic

Watch following video, and you'll know what it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7IjXeo8m0k .

 

There are several of those cables in 3 european countries : Portugal, Italy and France. More info on www.fantasticable.com/.

 

The one we did is 1159 meters long, height difference 110 meters, and maximum speed 115 km/hour.

 

On to the pictures and 2 videos including POV, I shot myself.

 

I apologize for the quality of the pictures. After 3 days themeparks, my memorycards of my photocamera were full after I took 2 pictures at the fantasticable. So all the other pictures are framed from video and quality is really not good. Hopefully Hans will have some better pictures.

 

 

 

And ..., if you didn't vote yet, vote now !!!

One last pictures before the 2 videos in the next post. Wouldn't Hans fit great as a slasher in a Halloween maze )

Hey Hans.

And Hans' impression of an Antonov.

Filip coming down.

And brake. The braking was in fact very soft and smooth. Nothing to be nervous about.

The part I was in fact the most nervous for.

Getting ready for the brakes.

Move out of my way, PLEASE !!!

Once between the trees, you realized how fast you were going.

I liked flying

And I'm flying.

I'm ready.

POV view.

My turn

Different angle

Go !!!

And then you're off.

Before flying, the brakes are adjusted to your body weight.

Then you get in fly position.

First you get attached to the cable.

Starting point.

A small bus brought us to the starting point. The busride it self was already scaring.

Brakes

Flying

Yes, it IS long.

Over there, at the end of the cable, will be our starting point.

Ticket.

BTW, the Fantasticable is in Aventure Parc.

Yeeaaahhh ! A cable that looks fantastic.

My GPS didn't bring us to the place we needed to be, but after some short driving around, we found the way to the Fantasticable.

[Groteslurf]

The 2 videos.

 

Sorry for the shaking on the off-ride video. I still had to ride and I was pretty nervous

LOL

 

I'm already looking forward to the auditions of the 2010 Fright Nights.

[hansrubens]

Mine part of the Fantasticable pictures.

 

I think the bus ride up the hill was just as exciting as the ride itself.

 

The instructor at the top only spoke french and the most scary part, well for me at least, was that you had to stand next to the edge without being secured and the only thing that was beside you were trees and the river Maas. But guess what I survived.

 

 

Pictures.

necessary blurry picture.

It was really a cool experience.

Wheeee.

Someone is half way down.

Although the rope was over a kilometer you didn't sensed the speed until you entered the forest part.

There he is.

Can you spot him.

You start somewhere up there. I think someone is coming down right now.

^

^

It is somewhere there hidden in the forest.

There also was a survival parcours.

Direction for if you might get lost. It was quite a walk.

Yah I'm so excited.

The bridge over the river Maas which brought us on survival island.

We arrived at the nice village of Fumay. It looked like as the time stood still since the 50's in this part of France.
