ernierocker Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We are live tweeting the entire trip! Follow us on Twitter @themeparkreview  Today's update! Bon Bon Land!  Today we are at Bon Bon Land! Famous for the "Dog Fart Coaster" and rides themed to other strange things!  We are started our day at Bon Bon Land on the Dog Fart Coaster!!! (Yes, it's themed to a dog farting & crapping!)  Meet Henry. The Bon Bon Land dog that first farts on you, then craps on the lawn!  [vine] [/vine]Dog Fart Coaster!!!  As the train goes trough the dog house, you hear the sound of the dog farting on you!  And then Henry takes a crap on the lawn! This is the ACTUAL THEMING of this ride at Bon Bon Land!!!  Going in to get farted on again!  KidTums was pretty excited about Henry farting on her!  Taking a ride on Bon Bon Land's Euro Fighter themed to racing pigs.  TPR has won the pig race!  Bon Bon Land's spinning coaster is themed to cats getting drunk!  BEST. RIDE VEHICLE. EVAR!!!  Farting dogs, drunk cats, racing pigs. These are ACTUAL THEMES for rides at Bon Bon Land!  [vine] [/vine]If it's giant boobs on a cartoon cow you are looking for... Bon Bon Land's got them!  If you need to use the bathroom at Bon Bon Land, it's easy to tell the boys toilets from the girls!  Vomiting rat, anyone? Yes... More insane theming at Bon Bon Land!  Bon Bon Land's Disk-O is themed to a giant albatross! Why? We don't ask... We just accept it!  KidTums loved her first Disk-O! (Themed to a giant albatross!)  Putting Thad and Garbles together on the swings was probably not the best idea, but they lived!  Adults riding the kiddie horse ride? Sure! Why not?  The crazy theming of Bon Bon Land's rides comes from the strange candies the original company made!  Should Rick buy this Dog Fart Coaster souvenir T-Shirt for his daughter? Yes/No?  Want a kiss big boy?  We took 8 of our biggest riders and put them on Bon Bon Land's boat ride. In retrospect this wasn't a good idea!  We only managed to back up three boats by the end of the ride! lol  Bon Bon Land's "Dog Fart Coaster" has to be the most bizarre themed ride in the world!  Bon Bon Land appropriately has "Dog Fart Coaster Whoopee Cushions" in the gift shop!  The Bon Bon Land gift shop has underwear that makes it look like you peed yourself and have an explosive butt.  Henry the Farting Dog is one of bizarre mascots of Bon Bon Land.  Just a few of the bizarre characters you'll find at Denmark's Bon Bon Land!  Oh, yeah, they have rides at Bon Bon Land, too, like this totally kick ass Giant Frisbee!  What Bon Bon Land looks like while spinning out of control on the crazy Frisbee.  Bon Bon Land is one of the most screwed up parks (in a good way!)  On the ferry heading to Germany for a quick stop into mainland Europe tomorrow at Hansa Park.  Our hotel in Germany loves TPR!  Hotel Gremersdorf is awesome! Thanks for the kick ass welcome!  They put on an awesome BBQ filled with MEAT!!! Yessss!  Our only night in Germany and we are drinking to celebrate!  We may actually be drinking quite a bit...  [vine] [/vine]How many shots can TPR do? Apparently quite a LOT!  [vine] [/vine]And an epic final toast of the evening closes out our night in Germany! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBpony414 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The dog crap ride looks awesome but the blue bear picking its nose in one of the last pictures had me doubled over laughing! Do most giant frisbees go up that high?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattnz Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 BonBon-Land looks like all kinds of awesome! Looking forward to the updates from Hansa Park, which looks like it has come a long way, especially with Fluch von Novgorod. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Should Rick buy this Dog Fart Coaster souvenir T-Shirt for his daughter? Yes/No? Â Yes. Bon Bon Land is the weirdest park ever--and that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I still can't believe how screwed up the themings are one the park's rides! I think the vomiting rat was one of my favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notturna Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wow! I knew about the dog fart coaster, but I didn't know the entire park is like that. Wonder what the candy tastes like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCo Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The fun-having on this trip looks absurd. Must do the next Scandi trip. Can't wait to see what's coming! Â (Also, for the Man Show shout-out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 We are live tweeting the entire trip! Follow us on Twitter @themeparkreview  Today's update! Hansa Park!  Today, the TPR Scandi Tour has snuck into Germany to visit Hansa Park!  Starting our morning with ERT on Fluch Von Novgorod - an amazingly themed Gerstlauer Euro Fighter!  Novgorod is heavily themed, a bit like the Mummy coasters at Universal parks.  The coaster starts with some impressive "dark ride" scenes telling the story of the castle and the curse.  Then it launches into a twisted Euro-Fighter layout. The last half of the ride is all in the dark!  Hansa Park General Manager Andreas talked to us about their 2015 Gerstlauer hyper coaster.  The new ride will go in this area and will be a giant enclosed hyper coaster!!  Karnan will be partially enclosed, including the first drop, in a giant building covering 30,000 cubic meters.  Hansa Park has (what I think) is the only double Bayern Curve ever made. Is there another one of these rides?  Nessie is a classic Schwarzkopf looper, and it's GREAT!  Birds eye view of Nessie at Hansa Park!  Nessie is one of those coasters where you get eaten by an animal!  OM NOM NOM!!!  They just don't make 'em like this anymore!  The Western "theming" at Hansa Park! (And I did follow the instructions...)  Making our own bread on a stick at Hansa Park!  Garbles! Suck on my stick!!!  Hansa Park has one of those weird spinning bell flat rides. Seems a bit low capacity for this park, but looks cool!  Inside the bell ride at Hansa Park.  [vine] [/vine]And here is a video!  I kinda think that KidTums really liked Nessie at Hansa Park today!  Fresh made crepes at Hansa Park! Sooooo good!!!  Many of the attractions here at Hansa Park are VERY well themed! Wish some of our American parks would take note!  Here's the map for Hansa Park. It's big!  Hansa Park started to re-do their front entrance area a couple of years ago. Here's the old and new. It's amazing!  We are in Germany eating German pretzels! Yum!  Caption This!!!  In case you forget what day you came to the park...  Had a great visit to Hansa Park! These beautiful European parks really pay attention to detail!  Crashed out on the TPR Scandi Tour bus! Gotta catch up on sleep when you can!  Poor, Shirley... Hope he wakes up soon!  And that's all from Day 4! Remember, to follow us on Twitter @themeparkreview for live tweeting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Cow Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Skyline Park still has a double Bayern Curve as well, though it doesn't have the enclosed section. Â Always have wanted to visit Hansa but didn't get the chance the last time I was in Europe. Loving the updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRx Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wow, Hansa Park really seems to have kicked up the theming. The Euro Fighter looks amazing and the future hyper really intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 the future hyper really intrigues me Same here. Enclosing a hyper coaster sounds extremely expensive. Â It is also Gerstlauer's first hyper coaster, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It is also Gerstlauer's first hyper coaster, right? Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I remember how Fulch von Novgorod was running during TPR's first Scandi Trip in 2009, even though it wasn't finished. The queue was still covered in plywood, the theming was still being installed, and even the exterior of the building was still being bricked over. Even then, it was still a great ride. Nice to see it finished. Â I liked Hansa a lot--it's a beautiful park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Gerstlauer goodness+Anton Schwarzkopf classic=great park  I feel like Fluch von Novgorod has some kind of magic that makes me want to go there so bad. So jealous of you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPDave Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) We are live tweeting the entire trip! Follow us on Twitter @themeparkreview  Today the group headed out to Denmark to visit Legoland Billund, here's how they got on...  Today we are at the Legoland HQ!  Starting off our morning at Legoland Billund on Polar X-Plorer!  Polar X-Plorer was FANTASTIC! I really hope the other Legoland parks get a version of this ride!  KidTums LOVED Polar X-Plorer Legoland Billund.  Polar X-Plorer was better that a lot of big rides at big parks...and this is at Legoland!  Guess what? LEGO BUTT!!!  Don't under estimate the Legoland parks! They do theming and family attractions VERY well!  TPR absolutely loved Polar X-Plorer at Legoland Billund!  Checking out "Ghost" ... The new "Haunted House for kids" at Legoland Billund. It was cute!  TPR Takeover on the Legoland Billund Fire Academy. This is seriously one of my favorite rides ever!  [vine] [/vine]TPR takes over the Fire Academy at Legoland Billund! (Or TPR finally gets some exercise!)  Had to take another ride on Polar X-Plorer at Legoland Billund! Love this ride!  A staple at most of the Legoland parks is the Mack Wild Mouse coaster.  For the first time the American themed ice cream is NOT the largest one!  Visited Legoland's Sea Life and Garbles tried to catch a fish!  Legoland Billund's MiniLand is surrounded by a train and monorail ride.  Round two of TPR's Fire Academy take over!  Legoland Billund's rapids ride is one of the few with a vertical lift and a giant drop!  And let's not forget the best thing about Legoland parks... All the awesome Legos!!!  Rapids ride Lego theming!  EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!! At Legoland Billund!  [vine] [/vine]TPR loves Polar X-Plorer at Legoland Billund!  The "Lego Princess" look really fits @rctneil's personality!  KidTums found one of her Lego "Friends!"  Lego @ScottsPizzaTour!  Legoland is just a little too intense for some people...  TPR Members pumping hard to put out the fire!  Legoland Billund's shooting dark ride is more of an Omnimover system compared to the US parks.  Yes, we are playing with Legos. Yes, we are mentally ten years old!  Lego Star Wars in Mini Land at Legoland Billund!  I love the Mini Land section of Legoland parks. You can spend hours in here!  Oil Rigs and cranes as part of Mini Land at Legoland Billund.  There is even an America section at Legoland Billund's Mini Land.  Oh, Thad is a natural when it comes to this Lego look!  Jungle Racers is one of my favorite Legoland staple attractions!  The most action Garbles is going to get... EVER!!!  We selected the craziest options for the indoor RoboCoaster!  Yes, of course we chose option 69! (Who wouldn't???)  They have ten RoboCoaster arms at the Ice Pilots attraction at Legoland Billund.  Lego donkey!!! TPR approved!  It was a totally awesome day, and of course it was because when you're at Legoland "Everything is AWESOME!!!"
