SharkTums Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 ^World's Largest Ikea is only about 30 minutes away!!!!!
cal1br3tto Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 That looks so delightfully twisted. I like how they're going with white supports and red handrails for a classic look that isn't so common nowadays. I wasn't sure if white would look good on steel woodie supports, but it certainly does!
Nrthwnd Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Must - visit - park - again. (EDIT to add....mmmmmmmIKEA.)
ScottBrown Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 ^^ not to mention, one of the more famous coasters, The Crystal Beach Cyclone had steel supports. And I believe an even more famous coaster The Coney Island Cyclone does as well
Tompa Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi all! Today it came, Invitation to the official press show (TV, radio, newspapers) of "Twister" and "Blue Train" (ghost train)! I'm delighted and is one of the select few who get to go before the public! Thanks to all who work with invitations at Gröna Lund, and I will try to shoot sooo much as I can for you in here! The day when everything happens is May 7 at 10! / Thomas
Tompa Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Correction, 3 May is the media day for the press, May 7, they open to the public! Was so excited that I made a typo / Thomas
Olov Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 They're lifting in the cars for the train right now, testing shouldn't be far away One red car high up in the sky

coasterfreak101 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Are those just the insides of the lapbars, or is that how they're going to look? Because they look so much better than the original Timberliner lapbars!

Because they look so much better than the original Timberliner lapbars! If you look closely, there is no padding on them, I would imagine the padding will be added later, making them look the same as the ones on Voyage.
jedimaster1227 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks to the Gravity Group for sharing these with us! Panorama of Twister from the top of the lift hill. Can you figure out the path of this twisted track? Airtime! Bright red Timberliners are being lifted onto their new home track. Here's a view of Twister's lift hill as a car from the Wild Maus wisks by.
crazywolf88 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I find it very RCT3ish with the headlight on the lead car but it looks good otherwise.
Olov Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Twister has just made it first run around the track... Can you spot the train? And here's a video as well... From Gröna Lund's FB www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=10150158120292411&oid=343591900666&comments
Gerstlauer1 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 That firstdrop looks very nice! And i'm impressed how long the run lasts considering the space they had to build it on !
tiger01 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Who knows. You can see a couple of guys standing on the roof with cameras in the picture. it could be a different one of them.
Gerstlauer1 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 ^ That's right dude, but when it is so identical why do we need it, just saying
Blind Idiot God Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Man, it goes over the first hill like a bat out of hell.
tiger01 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 ^ That's right dude, but when it is so identical why do we need it, just saying because it's on youtube!
Gerstlauer1 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Man, it goes over the first hill like a bat out of hell. Is that good? ^ That's right dude, but when it is so identical why do we need it, just saying because it's on youtube! Oh yeah, and some people are just to lazy to click a link right?
andyuk200523 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Remember, not everyone is on facebook, just ask Dan!!! I cannot wait to ride this in June, that first airtime hill looks exactly that, full of AIRTIME!!!!!!!!!!! This thing will definitely WIN!
Gerstlauer1 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 ^ You lucky bastard! ;b And you does not have to have a facebook to watch the video
Hhappy Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 not everybody has access to facebook.. i do know some companies that block acces to facebook for their employees (since it's not business related) youtube might still be accessible.. it's never bad to have 2 options to check.. and embedded (youtube) makes live easier for some (saves another click) nice video, looking forward to the day i will be in Stockholm to get this credit p.s. let's continue talking about the ride and stop debating which/what/when video link etc..
