Werner Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Well i've just ridden Mammut, and sure it was my first visit to Tripsdrill. But i still think it kicks ass, and smooth as an Intamin Pre-feb! Check out the TR soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 ^ I have no idea. Would not mind going back there to check it out.. I wasn't crazy about Mammut, but I'd still go back to Tripsdrill, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 ^Yeah, Mammut was pretty "meh" but I do really like Tripsdrill. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Back in 2008 during the europe trip we stopped at Holiday Park. Home to Expedition GeForce. So here's a picture of that visit (and ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 BEST RIDE EVER! dt Yep--and an excellent photo of it! TPR's ERT session on this sucker back in 2008 was one of the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 ^agreed, the extra extra extra exclusive ride time was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Let's go back to 2009. Tivoli Gardens was the park and the coaster was Rutschebanen A classic coaster with an amazing amount of airtime as you can see in this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 This coaster also doesn't have a height restriction. The staff was trying to convince me to bring a two year old KT on the ride...I politely declined! So excited to get back to this part of the world! Looks like we'll be making another TPR Trip there in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Looks like Big Mike is getting some good air time. Going back in 2014 huh, looks like I know where I'll be that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I was sitting next to Mike in the back seat and can vouch that the airtime is not exagerrated. We were being thrown out of our seats the whole time. It was both scary and amazingly awesome. I kept thinking the ride op was going to hit his head on the tunnel roofs. Great photo Hanno!

Moose Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 ^Im glad you said something Mark because the Big man's airtime looked suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Today i have a picture from 2010 for you. At Silver Dollar City there is a coaster called Powder Keg. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I love this ride and don't understand why more weren't sold!?!? I can only imagine it must be some sort of maintenance nightmare or something. Very intrigued to ride some of the 'Version 2.0' ones in China!

chadster Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 ^It is. They have trouble keeping the air pressure up in the tanks used for launch and can't run it in the rain as the wheels just sit there and spin. It's basically their #1 item on the most downtime list.
