Hanno's picture of the day

[Randomman295]

I love the supports on Stormy a lot. Why didn't they use that design on the other Rocket Coasters?

[Hhappy]

Fire good??

 

Kvasten at Grona Lund

These last few photos are awesome Hanno. Storm Runner is amazing and my #2 coaster behind I305. The launch is awesome and the ride is relentless.

[stormrush]

Finally decided to get an account...

Just wanted to say that your photos are amazing!!

And I agree- Storm Runner seems like one of the most underrated coasters. Its definitely in my top 10.

Fire makes any coaster better.

Kvasten is one of the best family rides Vekoma has ever built--and Dave is absolutely right about fire.

Today something without fire..

But it's Cedar Point (which could make some folks happy)

 

It's Millennium Force.

This one is from y first (and so far only) visit back in 2007..

[gisco]

One of these days I will visit this park.

[Hhappy]

Back in 2010 i got the chance to visit Bay Area Bash.

 

let's check out Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Looks like a fun ride, great shot Hanno!

[Hhappy]

Can't wait to get back to Tokyo DisneySea.

 

this picture is from 2011

Can't wait to get back to Tokyo DisneySea.

 

Thou hast spoke aright.

 

Great picture, too--DisneySea is one of the most photogenic parks I've ever visited.

Ugh, want to go back NOW!!!

 

It sucks I'll be within 45 miles of the park in a couple of weeks and not be able to go!

 

Not going to lie, wouldn't mind a little typhoon action that strands me in Tokyo for a day or two instead of just my 2 hour connection.

^ Even if there is a nuclear reactor that explodes.

[SharkTums]

A Typhoon is not a Tsunami.

 

And I've gone before with several blown reactors and I would go again.

[theonetheonlyJT]

^ Sorry for my wording but yeah that's what I meant (typhoon) and yes I think its worth it.

[vuurvogel]

Oh, Japan. I will see you back one day. One of the best places I have ever been to. Even after a nuclear meltdown.

[Hhappy]

Back in 07 i got to check out some parks in the UK.

This was a fun short weekend trip.

 

Now where would this be

enjoy

[SFOGdude25]

^Amazing, almost haunting in a way! Another great shot, Hanno! Sorry if this has been asked before, but what is your main camera and lense combo that you use?

[Sneaky]

Great picture Hanno.

Looks amazing with that kind of light.

[Hhappy]

How about a little Kentucky Rumbler love?

Beech Bend was a nice surprise (for me) back in 07.

 

Can't wait to get back there

[RAWKIN_coaster38]

^That is an amazing photo. I really like how the whole coaster is blurred out except the train.

[Hhappy]

So how about this?

During my visit to PortAventura for the opening of Shambhala i managed to walk a lap through the park and ride the other coasters there.

One of them is Furius Baco

 

I was not impressed with this ride.. and actually a bit shocked at how much headache the ride could cause..

I do hope it was just a one day jinx and it's better the rest of the season (or for the next time i get to visit the park)

[Hhappy]

Today i was going through some old pictures and found some from my visit in 99 to DisneyLand Paris.

The 2 things i remember most are "it's a small world" and seeing snow in the morning in the area if Big Thunder Mountain.

 

I also found a scan from Big thunder mountain that day..

Maybe you like it.. maybe you don't..

here's today's picture.

and yes all that white stuff is/was real snow (from that day)
