ECZenith Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 This update and me riding El Toro last week doesn't help the fact that I MUST RIDE BALDER! And free beer too??? Ohhhh man... so jealous. That trip just looks better and better with every update. Saving my pennies for Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tömmioh Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Awesome update!! Nice to see everyone had such a great time and the park being so hospitable and overall good. Also I didn't know that the park had an ice bar, until I saw this update, that was really cool! Yeah, Balder or should it be called 'BaldAir' is simply fantastic (rode it two days ago). Also, I'm a annoyed that I didn't go on that UK add-on trip, as I could've done it quite easily... but, well I guess there's always a next time, right Joe?

larrygator Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 ^yes, the Finnish are ripping on Joe. It is a true international phenomena now. Joe - and don't forget the fun you had watching me get punched in the face and harrassed at SFGAdv. When should we let Joe in on the joke that the whole UK Trip blew and we wasted our money.

PCman Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 WHen is the East coast trip and or Midwest trip El Toro and the Voyage are 2 great rides. The Voyage at Night is insane. A must ride for any enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 ^ 2007 Tours to be 'announced in August.' Subject to change, at the Mr.& Ms. Moderators' whim? Patience. Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterviper Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 So what is up with the hammer condoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 ^ They didn't want any germs from each hammer to.... spread? Dunno, I thought that was kind of strange too, when they were first handed out to us. But hey - a "beer breakfast" (actually following an Excellent Breakfast at hotel, that early morning), mini-liquors, the Balder Bags (w/playing cards, wood 'coaster' coasters inside), nails and the hammers.... all between 1000 and 1100 AM? And then the ERT on Balder and Kanonen??? Heck - they could have doilyed (sp?) the hammer heads for all I cared at that point in time, heh heh. Best - park - ever. Followed by Best - Wooden - Coaster - ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 ^My guess is that the hammer condoms were meant to keep the heads from rusting (probably been sitting in storage awhile). Then again, did we really know where those hammers had been? Perhaps hammers and other tools lead secret lives we know nothing about. After all, people don't just get "drunk"--they get "hammered." And hammers are used for "pounding," which has other connotations (just ask anyone acquainted with a certain teenager from Fresno). The mind boggles--or maybe I've just had too much coffee this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCman Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How would one get in on a trip if say like me on the east coast ? The trip was a good read and see. Have you tried El Toro yet ? it's a great ride I would like to know how it compares to Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ok everyone! Sorry it took so long to start our Finland update...the "day job" got in the way of fun! Anyway, here's the latest awesome 6-page update: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/sarkanniemi/sarkanniemi1.htm Sarkanniemi!!!!! - Now it's time to go on the REAL add-on trip! - This was a great way to "finnish" off the trip! - Underground Intamin rides kick ass! - U-Shaped Intamin rides kick ass! - In Finland, turtles are apparently called "birds" Here are a few photos..... On the flight we can see what Derek is dreaming of...... OMG! Gotta love the "Day Glow" ORANGE train! This is like porn to Derek! The REAL TPR Party is on the skateboard ride in Finland! "The Half-Pipe is my favorite ride in Finland" says Rodney. "I give the Vekoma Corkscrew two thumbs up because I'm old, I don't know any better, and I pee in my adult diaper every twelve minutes!" "Hey Dan...do you want to ride the kiddie coaster or the ride op behind you?" Yeah, it's a Jet Star. Joe would have loved this...but who cares? The rest of the photos can be found here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/sarkanniemi/sarkanniemi1.htm Enjoy this update! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Great pictures Robb, glad you managed to enjoy yourselves even though I have a feeling you may have been utterly exhausted by that point! One thing though, I think there may have been a mistake in one of the captions: "It's Derek....and a TPR ass!" SURELY, that should read "It's a donkey....and a TPR ass!"
