Chaddyboy Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sweet underground inversion on Tornado. I'm really diggin it. Gonna put it as my background. By the way, I'm the guy that is oozing over all of those sweet shots of the track. Square to circle, Square to triangle, oh man, so awesome.

Nrthwnd Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Am assuming that Finland could be part of the "Scandi Dandi Tour" circa... 2008? First park looked nice - coasters looked great - and I don't believe Derek missed Nicole for a second, HAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie_1990 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Does the station go under the heartlined roll underground. The overview makes it look like they clash, bash, BOOM! -mushroom cloud- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The station is underground, the inversion is underground, right over the station. We got some *amazing* video, and will post some of it at some point! Seriously, Tornado blew me away! I had wanted to ride it since I saw it being constructed, then when I rode the other Intamin Tornado in April, I was kind of disappointed. Finland Tornado did not disappoint at all! It had airtime, forces, and one of the cooles inversions EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Was the "take off" ride running an insane or weak program? I have seen some where the cars spin so fast its unbelievable. Then there are others that spin so slow it looks boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I didn't ride it, but I thought it looked pretty slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tömmioh Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 To be honest I think that the Take Off was a bit faster than what it looked like, but I wouldn't still call it insane by any means. Great TR once again! Some really great captions there ie the : if Elissa was only a head, the facial expression suited the caption really well imo , and the EXCLUSIVE Derek's fore head and Jet Star sign and the Dan's head tumour which looked quite real, lol. Nice long update. -Tommi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 i saw two differnt "take off" videos on wipeout.free.fr one was where the cars were spinning very slow. Then there was another video where it looked like the ride would pull 3 Gs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Our next stop on the "real add-on trip" was Linnanmaki near Helsinki, Finland.... http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/linnanmaki/linnanmaki1.htm - OMG! The water coaster here!!!! FREAKING SUCKED!!! Ok, it didn't "suck" but OMFG we got SOAKED!!!!! - Wooden coaster....oddly enough looks like Balder. So I guess that makes it a steel coaster? - Park was fun, not as cool as Särkänniemi, but still very cool! - Um....you have to spread your legs on the slide?!?!? - I finally found out what the inside of a donut looks like! Here are some pics: Any park that has a statue of a baby holding a GIANT FISH is ok by me! It DOES kind of look like Balder...doesn't it? "I'll have the Rabbit sandwich please." It looked pretty tame and we thought it would be "Dan Friendly". We were wrong! Robb likes hanging around this guy because it makes him feel thinner! The brake man always sits behind the pink haired girl. Ok, there are LOTS more picture and somewhat funny captions here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/linnanmaki/linnanmaki1.htm Enjoy! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkscrewed Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Man, Scandanavian parks rock!!! I love those "aerial" photos from the last update, and this update is pretty cool too. Although I liked the last one more because it has Intamin inverted coaster goodness. Random question: how many gropes total were there on this trip? 24? 57?

ECZenith Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Another awesome update Alveys! I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but RCDB is now listing the Intamin ball coaster as being named Kirnu and it will be located by the fun house. Any park that has a Huss Booster is great in my book, how was that ride? http://www.rcdb.com/id3613.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 OMG! ^ My brother has one of these! It's called an Izz, it's like some robot thing that makes funny noises and lights up, but it's also an mp3 player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J man Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I think it's funny how in the picture of the clown scooping up the elephant poo, all the people in the background have out their cameras and are taking pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
