attack7 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 John gets 100 points in my book for being able to let go long enough to give you the thumbs up on Wild Eagle. Wasn't as bad once you got going, but wow is it a vulnerable feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The dark ride there was definitely the surprise of the trip for me... amazing and expensive details for such small park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy524 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Gorgeous pictures, Hanno! I love that the rooftops of the buildings at Europa Park are all covered with grass. And that's something most people probably wouldn't see since ordinary guests don't get to go the places that TPR people go for photo angles. Great job!

BDG Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Gorgeous pictures, Hanno! I love that the rooftops of the buildings at Europa Park are all covered with grass. Only a few in Iceland... because it's typically Icelandic. But I can see why you would think that, because in Hanno's report, 90% of the photos are of Wodan and Bluefire.

Hilltopper39 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Krake looks like an awesome little coaster, I'd love to see one of those get built with a longer layout and a few more traditional B&M inversions in addition to the vertical drop. Great pictures as usual Hanno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Great job capturing the awesomeness that was those few torrential downpour rides on Colossos, Hanno. I'm still amazed of the magic powers my hoodie must have that it was completely dry the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Great Photos Hanno. I love the faces I keep making for the photos. That Collosus ERT in the rain was insane. Glad to see these photos and relive the memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Next stop was Schlossbeck and Movie Park Germany. Â Schlossbeck home to some very awesome "do it yourself" rides and "never in the US" rides. It's more of a small kids family park but adults can have a blast there as well.. Â Movie Park Germany.. home to Bandit and High Fall... Van helsing is their latest addition (and i totally forgot to get pictures of that ride). regarding Bandit.... i'm so happy i got the credit when the ride was still somewhat decent (wild Wild West time). Going through the pictures from this day i'm very happy (again) that i did not bother giving it another chance.. Yikes. Â Enjoy i can walk on water, look at me don't sink, don't sink so yeah, plenty of kids on this park and it makes sence with these kind of contraptions slides are always fun the moment elissa realises she's going too fast and she's running out of sliding space water slides hiding under some trees but wait, there's also a coaster (dohh) derek is flying fun for all ages owh my... i have to smile for the camera.. but darn it.. i would love to scream been there.. done that.. (h)airtime so yeah, there's more to this funky park the most awesome spinning contraptions mankind has created lots and lots of green that thing up in the trees was supposed to open a couple of weeks after our visit (and new for 2012) this might not end well... the rest is history.. anyway, next stop Movie Park Germany some fresh colors (compared to my last visit) time riders High Fall (aka ouch my balls) and Bandit.. but don't forget about the SLC does not look that bad right? empty train is it love??? so yeah.. here's the other side of Bandit That's a lof of crossings in this bit of structure first drop fun or not??? where are those hands?? owh wait.. front row is holding his head.. gotcha yeah, i can't believe it either that they let you go here Craig the end is near some random riders is that airtime or?? bounce bounce bounce it must have been a great ride one day... fingers crossed they can get it fixed and make it fun again ok, time to go back to the station building more pictures from this... ehm... yeah, do i need to add any words?? some girls always know where the camera's are thumbs up?? wow still so happy... told you so... so how was that ride??? one more look at that first drop.. back to the SLC trees.. it's always a tree high fall drop fun awesome jair but there's more to this park, like a bright color logflume a splash battle and another Vekoma.. (but that one is good) and a fun mouse anyway.. here's the "ouch my balls" section of this update... going down... ouch... .. my ... .. balls... hope you enjoyed the update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Couple things......  1. This is fantastic  2. I didn't know Intamin sold another one of the ball busters......I thought SFOG were the only suckers....I mean park "lucky" enough to have one.

shivtim Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Nice shots as always, Hanno! Damn that drop ride hurt, it seemed much worse than Acrophobia! Â I was pleasantly surprised by the junior Vekoma suspended at Movie Park. The lap bars make such a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 There used to be some rather odd stuff in the yellow building at Schlossbeck--did no one have the courage to venture within? Was that yet-to-be-opened ride some sort of alpine coaster? If so, that would be perfect for that park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
