Lareson Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 That paint job... This wasn't Intamin's first wooden coaster. American Eagle was their first, then they went and got themselves in the mess that was Pegasus at Efteling. Jupiter was Curtis D. Summers' last coaster, partnered with Intamin, as Dinn Corp broke apart due to their Dutch disaster. Intamin only built 2 more after that, White Cyclone in 1994 and the now defunct Aska in 1998. Very sporadic after their steel coasters took off. It was then in 2001 Intamin built their last traditional wooden coaster, Elf, before Colossus opened the same year as their first coaster using the wood pre-fab track.
mush619 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks for continuing to share all of these great pictures Hanno!
Hhappy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 sorry for the delay in updates everybody. Trying to come up with pictures to post.. and finding new (interesting) rides can ge tough.. i'm pretty sure you could care less about all the kiddie coasters i've seen over the last couple of year.. Anyway.. how about another Roar? This time it's the one at Six Flags America enjoy
beatle11 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Awful ride, awful park, but a great photo.
Swimace Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I don't understand how some people look like they're actually having fun on this compared to the people who are in the correct "oh my god, what is this ride doing to my body?" position. Poor Stacey in that wheel seat looks like she's going to die! I actually think I would have enjoyed the ride if it wasn't for the weird train modifications. There were handles bolted to the inside of train, and no matter how I moved my body I could not get my knees from digging in to them. Maybe it's the short people who are looking like they are having fun!
cfc Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I never thought Roar was all that bad, but I haven't ridden it in a few years. Great shot of it, though.
larrygator Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I've always liked Roar. It's aggressive, but I never left the ride in pain.
Hhappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 coasters are fun for all ages Just look at this image from my 08 trip. Tacot Express at Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris France
gisco Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Like all the differant looks on the kids faces.
cfc Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I like how the little girl in the third car is kind of "meh."
Hhappy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 still trying to come up with new ideas and pictures to post.. How about one of the most awesome entrance views you can get? Here's Tusenfryd with the escalator and Speedmonster crossing right there
Randomman295 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Any picture of a Norwegian Loop is a good one.
ernierocker Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Yet another awesome coaster on the Scandi trip!
cfc Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I'll take Speed Monster over Kingda Ka or Stealth any day.
Hhappy Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) How about some love for one of those "small" parks in the land of Dutch? Here's 2 images from Hellendoorn Tornado Donderstenen Edited February 25, 2013 by Hhappy
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 What does Donderstenen translate to? Rusty rock coaster?
disney4me2001 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Is it just me, or does the front car on Donderstenen look odd? Seems like you wouldn't be able to see much with that decorative rock in the way if you're sitting on the right side of the car (as in the seat next to the kid)!
Hhappy Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 My first visit to Universal Studio's in Orlando was during Halloween Horror Nights. So much awesomenes during this visit in 08.
ernierocker Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 ^Really wish I could of gone that year. Scary Tales looked like on of the best HHN houses ever!
cfc Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Yeah, 2008 was a good year for HHN--love the atmospheric shots, Hanno. Edited February 26, 2013 by cfc
Hhappy Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 from the same year (2008) here's 2 images from Island of Adventure Hulk was ok/fun as far as I can remember before potter was done...
