viking86 Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) So last Saturday I went to Tusenfryd with 2 of my friends, Alf Gunnar and Stian. Alf Gunnar is also known as Nosferatu on this site Im gonna let the pictures do the most of the talking, but some notes about our visit: -We were all very dissappointed with Thundercoaster. It was running slower than ever. Not even "The drop" managed to impress us. Its not as rough as I remember though. One train operations made a short line quite long, probably 20-30 mins. -Loopen has to be the smoothest Vekoma-Tornado-coaster-with-Arrow-trains ever. Atleast our first ride in car 6 was very enjoyable. Car 7 was a bit rougher, but not bad at all. -Supersplash still makes a big splash -They have done alot of digging for Speedmonster I have onride videos of Teeny-Weeny(VERY RARE) and Loopen which I might post later. I had to take a picture of the Enterprise since its being removed after this season We were not sure what they were trying to teach the kids on the kiddie coaster. The Arrow logflume is a nice family ride. Many of the hills had very weak airtime compared to what they were like a few years ago. It was such a shame... Not even "The Drop" managed to impress us. Thundercoaster was running slower than ever... We then made our way to Thundercoaster. With only one train operating, the line was unneccesary long. ...which resultet in Alf Gunnar getting more wet ... so they decied to have a waterballon-slingshot war... But Stian and Alf Gunnar figured out that they werent wet enough... Alf Gunnar and Stian is hiding behind the plexiglass wall. They still got pretty wet because all the water landed on their backs. ...over a small hill and makes a BIG SPLASH!! ..into a tunnel... It goes down a very good drop... Supersplash is a Mack Watercoaster. This fun ride opened in 2003. Every S&S Tower seems weak after the one in Prater park, and Japp Spaceshot was no exception. Still a fun ride though with a very nice view from the top. The sign of quality now comes in colours It was surprisingly smooth actually. I belive the front is worse though. Corkscrew. I'll finish this update with a picture of the loop on Loopen Our first stop was Loopen, a Vekoma Tornado model from 1988. Obligatory picture of the Speedmonster poster. They have done alot of digging. This picture is taken from the escalator. Heres the escalator between the entrance and the rest of the park. Speedmonster, the new Intamin rocket coaster will go under and over the escalator several times. Edited September 12, 2005 by viking86
Erik Johnson Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I wish our parks gave you the ability to have water-balloon fights. Nice TR!!
CoasterFanatic Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 ^ BGT used to right next to Gwazi. I guess it is gone now. I haven't really looked for it in the last couple visits.

viking86 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 OMG how could I forget to mention all the teenage girls flashing their bra's for the camera on Thundercoaster?? That was totally awesome!!!
robbalvey Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 We have those water balloon things all over the US. Not that I've ever played one, but I see them all the time. --Robb
kenshinmac Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I've seen them at quite a few parks as well... Heck I have seen several water fight things with 4 of those little booth things.
Orient_Express Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Adventureland in Des Moines, IA has the water balloon fight game. It's a blast to watch.
