turbolaaf Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Toverland in the Netherlands is a park the most would recognize thanks to Troy, a GCII coaster. The park is open year round so it gives me the time to take pictures during winter period. I'm sure you would like to see some during these day's, when most parks are closed. Hope you'll like them Edit: uploaded them to TPR Enjoy On top of the lifthill. Taken with permission of the park On top of the lifthill. Taken with permission of the park The new ride; Scorpios. With the onboard audio and riding in the top its a great ride. Almost Christmas. I'm going back in a few weeks for the indoor pictures they requested. Edited December 8, 2010 by ernierocker
6flagsbrad Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 It's so beautiful with all the snow. I wish more parks could be open during the winter season.
AyTrane Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 Great Pictures! You should post the two photos of Troy over on the Great Coasters Facebook page.
turbolaaf Posted December 5, 2010 Author Posted December 5, 2010 That's a great idea. I posted them just a few minutes ago. Hope they'll like them
DiSab Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 It didn't look like Troy was open in the snow, right? Regardless, riding that stuff in the snow would be epic. I do wish other parks opened in the winter, even if it was just for limited days and/or hours. It would be something different to experience.
robbalvey Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 This would be a great TR for us to put on the front page of TPR, but the photos are not uploaded to the TPR server. If you could upload them, we would feature the report on the front page.
chadster Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Wow, that's crazy operating the motobike with snow on the track, and the pirate ship with snow on the sides. Don't know of many American parks that would even think of that!
let1gre Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Great pictures! The blanket of snow covering the park is very beautiful.

ernierocker Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Great photos! There is something so relaxing about seeing a GCI covered in snow.
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Great photos! There is something so relaxing about seeing a GCI covered in snow. The only thing that could be more relaxing, is if it was running in tha snow. Beautiful pictures!
Woogle Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 The park is beautiful with the snow. I'm surprised that it was even open!

HighExtreme Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Great photos! I visited Toverland back in January 2009 with lots of ice, snow and general coldness. Unfortunately it was too cold to run Troy, however the park cut through the ice with chainsaws to get the Backstroke log flume operational I was very impressed with fantastic commitment from the park to get everything open, despite there only been around 50 guests in the park, they didn't have to really make the effort and I don't think a lot of parks would have done, got to love Toverland
alilstronger Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Beautiful pictures! I hate the cold and snow but it is so pretty in pics!
sspaz1000 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Fantastic report. The snow makes the park seem so peaceful. Like alilstronger I hate the cold and snow, but it does look fantastic in pictures.
RoCo Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 The vast majority of these beautiful shots would make such kick-ass Xmas cards! Plus, I love that their "pirate ship" has on-board audio! Is that a first of some kind?
turbolaaf Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Plus, I love that their "pirate ship" has on-board audio! Is that a first of some kind? Don't know, but i like it a lot. The ship also swings higher then normal ships do
RoCo Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 ^Cool. Can't say that I'm a huge fan of swingin' boat rides, but take any ride and add onboard music/sound fx, and I'm there. This really does look like a very cool park all around (no pun intended).
Corkscrewy Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Do I smell the CP fanboys starting up a petition to keep Cedar Point open year round??
carolinacaniac Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 As 'cool' as that would be, I have a feeling that the parks here in our sue-happy nation would be spending a lot of time meeting attornies about lawsuits over people slipping on icy paths, platforms, ect... -Gary
screaminkid2005 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 ^I could agree more! Parks during the winter to me are so beautiful! I hope to make it out there sometime and check it out!
robeclay Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The park looks gorgeous with all the snow. You would NEVER catch me on a rollercoaster in the snow. I'm used to my 110 degree days at Six Flags Over Texas.
