robbalvey Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 TusenFryd Photos & Videos Posted!!! http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/tusenfryd/tusenfryd1.htm So as if planning an entire trip for 50+ people to the UK wasn't insane enough, word had gotten out that Elissa and I were planning a little "side trip" to Norway and Sweden after our British escapade. And once people found out that we were heading to Speed Monster and Balder, everyone else wanted in too! So we got the gears turning again, and we ended up having 45 people from the group join us for our add on trip! It was a pretty insane weekend, but it was all worth it. Our day at TusenFryd: - Elissa suggested that we all go ride Speed Monster as soon as we get there "just in case." That was probably the best advice all trip! - Thunder Coaster was like OMFG insane!!!!! - Inanimate Sea Monsters lie to Dan - We pounded it all the way to Sweden! - And when we got to Norway, we all penetrated the Intamin Rocket! "DUUUUUDE...you're flying my airline!" Elissa's all "OMG...I get to PENETRATE the Intamin ride! Now I know why you like being a guy so much!" We're in "Launch Position!" Oooh, baby! Wow! They sure can dispatch those little trains like crazy! "If your sad and pathetic, raise your hands!" Hmm...everyone but Rich? Yeah, that makes sense! Would you believe it IS a "Dan Approved" water ride?!?! Thunder Coaster was INSANE!!! That hill right there...yes...EVIL...AWESOME..... "Hey Joey, remember this from last year? Yeah...keep remembering that because you won't make any new memories this year!" To see the rest of the update, click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/tusenfryd/tusenfryd1.htm --Robb

sixflagsmagicmountain Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 ^ That sucks. Great update Robb. That intamin looks awesome!
SideWindZ Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Lol at robb filming, lol at dan's face, lol at everyone in the train.. looks like you had a blast oh, btw, DAN PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!!!
viking86 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Great update! Im glad that you all had a good time despite Speedmonster breaking down. It happened when I was at Tusenfryd too, and I was also pleasantly surprised that they explained to everyone in the queue line what was wrong with the ride. I find Thundercoaster to be 'just okay' when its dry, but when its raining it becomes a completely different ride, flying over every hill. Backseat on that ride is amazing in the rain!
Louise Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Mmmm, Thundercoaster. No pictures of the awesome crazy dragon-head-entrance-to-the-simulator though? Shame on you! Really awesome update Robb, one of the best from the trip I think! Baaahahaha, the Joystick, I'd forgotten about that... That was a hysterical fifteen minutes, never laughed so much in my life as on that trip. Thankfully I think that's the only picture from that experience! Tusenfryd was a cool little park, thanks Robb and Elissa for organising the extra two days for us, they were awesome.
OldJJman Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 .....Thankfully I think that's the only picture from that experience! Don't be so sure. JJ
Reon Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I just have to say, I have made pounding it a ritial at work (namely when the ride slows down to a stop, I go around getting everyone to pound it.)
PCW FREAK Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I like this european rocket coaster craze! It seems like all these parks are building rockets. Call me crazy but speed monster seems freakishly like kanonen. Mind you for a vekoma wodie Thunder Coaster seem Freakisly awesome I counted 11 airtime spots (how's that for dorkiness?)
Carnage Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I just wish they would start building more larger rockets with longer layouts. The mini-rockets like Speed Monster and Kanonen have really forceless launches.
CaseyFish Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 ^This park did have a beautiful setting. Just kind of nestled right into the mountain side. But I do have to say Teenie Weenie has the most leg room out of all the kiddie coasters I rode. It had so much leg room Larry and I fit in the same car! Casey"I don't ride Kiddie Coasters" Childers PS that is for you Lou:) lol
RayOfLight Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I rode Thundercoaster back in 2004, is was just awful, rough and slow... They must have done some improvements I guess?
viking86 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Nope! Its still the same. I only love it when its raining because it becomes a completely different ride. Still rough, but much faster, giving ejector airtime on most hills...
ParkTrips Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I liked this update... not quite the best of the trip, but up there since the Joe-jokes were limited!
sfne2005 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Mine's better, he's all excited. I just got one-upped But I posted it first, so
Louise Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Yay! <3 I actually really wished I'd taken a picture of the boat inside, the theatre. I took exactly four photos that day, I think the novelty had worn off, lol.
Reality15 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 So, because I thought I'd try to make up for not going on the UK trip (more like I'm bored and there's no enthusiasts in Michigan to my knowledge), I decided to make some new forum buttons to go along with the trip. This button can only be used by John, sorry. If your name is Rich, or you have your OWN signature move, this button is for you. And finally, the button you've all been waiting for... DUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDE! Enjoy, there'll be more buttons when I think of more.
chaos Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Wow, the park looks a lot better than I thought it was. I'm still wondering how you got Dan on the water ride.
cfc Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Mine's better, he's all excited. I just got one-upped But I posted it first, so Oh yeah? Well mine has ice cream! I salute you, o whatever the hell your name was!
