Real Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I hope you got a mounted POV so we can see the camera jerk with airtime over those hills. Ive seen a couple decent POV's and it does look rather insane. Random or not, still a kick butt "mouse" coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I lost my lip balm on that ride! I saw it arch beautifully out of my pocket on one of those insane airtime hills! Mmmm Airtime and Rodents, best park of the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy88 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Great update Robb! I'm really glad you guys had such a good time at Wild und Frietzpark Klotten Cochem. BTW Robb, did you know that Marchen Park has a Nautic Jet, a "Self Operated Swing Thingy", and a "Looping Closet"? And, Tripsdrill has an identical Airtime helix of death coaster! :shock: The Sea Pigs were cute! Not as cute as RatTums though! The Jumping Boast video was really funny! HOLY DIABETES!!

nemesis-storm Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'm glad you guys went to Wild-und Freizeitpark Klotten. It's a cool place. Last September, that park was the last park we visited after a week long trip visiting parks across Germany, The park was a very pleasant suprise for us. I hope that park does really well & continue to expand Did you go & see the grizzly's & the very friendly deer's ? Moving onto Holiday Park, sorry to ask a stupid question but what is the 'Elevator' mode on the free fall tower? I'm guessing is so the car climbs & lowers at a slow pace, right? Below are a couple of pics of that fine airtime machine First Drop Helix of death Hair time Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Gegen Nazis????? Do I even want to know what this says??? Actually, it's a rather good thing. It means "against Nazis"... Nice TR, but damn! I look gay in every photo again!!!!! And where's the mentioning of the air on the log flume? (which is much cooler than on EGF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 A Pleasure Chest reference = 1000 points. And while a ride like this would look cool at Knoebel's, there is no way they would ever afford it. But I think a park like Holiday World could get something like this. Actually, they should have gone this route instead of getting another wood coaster. Imagine a ride like this running through the woods there. Mmmmmm... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Great update, again. The Expedition GeForce photos are awesome. That is one of my favorite coasters, too! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yah, I was going to post that 'gegen nazi's' means against Nazi's...so, he's an anti nazi guy/gal. Apparently in Germany its illegal to have or show any nazi symbols or anything like that. So, games like Wolfenstein (if I heard this correctly) were never released/are illegal in Germany.

SharkTums Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 ^I know from Robb working on the games that they are allowed but have to be significantly altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 So, games like Wolfenstein (if I heard this correctly) were never released/are illegal in Germany. They are most certainly released! Germany is one of our biggest markets! We have to remove certain nazi symbols and red blood from the game to meet restrictions set by their ratings board (like our ESRB), but for the most part, everything is in tact. --Robb "For some reason the Germans love WWII games!"

CoasterCrazy88 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Holiday park looks really fun! Ge-Force looks amazing. I would love to ride it someday. If only I could come to the UK with you guys, then go to Holiday Park. Oh well. And Robb, this is sort of off topic, but I wanted to let you know that on the home page of the website, it says "Park Hotos" instead of "Park Photos". Antonio"Great update again"G.

rollermonkey Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Aah, Expedition: GeForce. I happened to run into (ah crap, forgot the name of the guy. Y'know, teacher, rides one coaster ALL SUMMER LONG to break his own record.) Anyhoo, had met him the summer before on the Boss, and he invited me to ride with him on E:GF, so we made a few laps together, chatting. It was fun, but weird. He had been on for more than a week already, so he had the ride rediculously memorized, and we actually just talked while riding. THAT is my testament to Intamin smoothness! I can't wait to go home tonight and D/L the jumping boat video! Chris B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
