    Gröna Lund - Trip Poetry 06/08/2012

    ~Went to Gröna Lund with promise of a cloudy and lightly rainy day though those predictions came with slight delay ~Firstly, Insane was broken and hence won't receive another mention so sadly you'll have to make your own interpretation ~Instead the first ride of the day was the favourite...

    Price increase again at Alton Towers!

    Yeah. They have a B&M Inverted (highly praised at that), a B&M Dive Machine, a B&M Flying coaster, an Intamin accelerator among others, all in a seemingly beautiful setting! On top of that, by pictures I get the impression it is a wonderful park. Perhaps some people are a bit spoiled with so...

    Favourite Front Row Ride?

    Kanonen and Jetline (Gröna Lund). The less of the "drag and push" effects there are, the greater the front seat tend to be. If it isn't an inverted rollercoaster or a launched one, the front row matters much less, though.

    [2013]Walibi Belgium: Turbine becomes Psyké Underground!

    Re: [2013]Walibi Belgium: The Legend is Back! ^Almost the same as Thunderlooper, indeed. The only difference is the launch mechanism, the launch on Thunderlooper was a weight drop launch* and this is a flywheel launch*. The track length and height are both the same, as is the speed. I think...

    Stuff you would like to see

    I would greatly appreaciate a few custom S&S 4D coasters, especially one close to the ground and in Europe .

    Confessions on a Coaster Forum

    Wooden coasters does not interest me one bit, quite the opposite. Not even anything large such Colossos at Heide-park or Son of Beast at Kings Island or something reknown such as Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. I dread another one close to here.

    Coasters with interesting or unusual stations

    Uncertain if it qualifies, however Loopen at Tusenfryd has a curved station.

    Queue Questions

    ^ Do they have a front-seat queue line as well or would it only be possible to "end up" in the front seat by luck?

    Coasters Built on top of other Coasters

    Gröna Lund has Jetline (Schwarzkopf close-to clone of Knightmare at Camelot) with Vilda Musen (Gerstlauer custom bobsled) travelling around inside the support structure, Kvasten's (Vekoma Inverted Family) coaster lift hill over the first large turn and Twister (Gravity Group wooden coaster)...

    Liseberg | Stampbanan | Preston & Barbieri family coaster

    Re: Liseberg | "Unknown" | Preston & Barbieri family coaster That does not matter a lot though. :fadein: The concept images aren't too clear on where it will be situated, but if you look closely just below the windmill at the top left you can see a little red string of track (not the one...

    Liseberg | Stampbanan | Preston & Barbieri family coaster

    Enthusiast Annoyances

    Uncertain if it is very exclusive to enthusiasts, however when there are abbrevation for any ride or park whose name exceeds seven letters or similar. i.e. "Today I went to PL and rode BM, CA and TotNH. BM were fab but not as good as AB at CW or SB at KBF." . . Hmm...? Perhaps it is exclusive...

    Gröna Lund: Twister, Insane and more!

    Good, thorough report. Personally I have about the same opinion on all the rides, especially Jetline. :fadein: This is really the greatest let-down, and what keeps Insane on the line of either being awesome or painful (of course this also depends on the weight of the riders but if the...

    "Just a coaster" vs an entire experience

    I think theming both the queue and around the coaster/station adds to the experience quite a bit and this is what the parks I've visited lacks on almost ALL their rides. Zero and no theming on the queue and just the mainstream pop radio channel playing in the station. Quite a let down when even...

    Liseberg Trip and Tale 4/7/2012

    Yes, it is really not a coaster that craves a re-ride for me and I had already ridden it this year when it didn't rattle much at all so was I content with that. I shall not deny that it is a fun coaster if the conditions are right, however it is really nothing that triggers the urge to ride...
